SIGGRAPH Volunteers for the Capilano Booth!

I am looking for people to help at our booth at SIGGRAPH.  Hours or days...whatever you can manage.  You just need to be at the booth and talk to people about your experience at Cap.  We'll have one or two Cintiq stations where you can animate and/or design for people.

Just email me (Don) if you're interested.  We could also use help setting up August 5th.

Cheers!

Don

It's time to design the winning entry for Animation Magazine's PITCH PARTY!

The blog will be open to everyone for now so you can read the rules, take note of the deadline and see last year's blog (pitchparty2010.blogspot.com).

Take a look at past designs and winners.  Figure out what wins before you start your design:

1.  A great idea.  Think of your target audience.
2. Strong, appealing design (your area of specialization, for sure!) and good composition/colour design.
3. A catchy title/description (not too wordy).

This is what you need to send me before the deadline: 
a) An image, EXACTLY 2.25 inches wide by 4.875 inches high (If you're using TV Paint, the equivalent is 1350 pixels wide by 2925 pixels high).
b) Up to 30 words (part of the artwork) to pitch the idea or character
c) The title of your Pitch (optional on artwork)
d) Contact information (email address and maybe your blog address if you've got a killer blog that you want people to visit)

e) Email me your name, title of pitch, email address and phone number that I will forward with the artwork. 

This is a great opportunity.  Let me know if you're in or not!

Here's a fantastic example of what an animatic should tell you. It was a music assignment done by Cap grad Clio Chiang.

Camera Sign Out Sheet

To book a camera, please look at the calendar below (we have 3 cameras so there are 3 calendars) and email me to book an open spot.  Book only what you need for your shoot for Davor's class.  When you see your booking online, then it is confirmed.  Arrange with the person before you for the hand-off.  If no one has the camera after you, RETURN CAMERA AND ALL PARTS TO JUDI/DON IN ARBUTUS BLDG.

Never leave camera out of your sight...always lock it away in your locker.  By signing out the camera you accept responsibility for its safe return!!

Note: Scroll down...there are THREE cameras and a separate booking calendar for each one.
