Links of the Week!

Hey all, we're back again for another semester, and we'll start it off with another link of the week!

I'm a little surprised/ashamed we haven't posted this one yet, as it is an indispensable source of news and events in the animation world:

Animationmagazine.net



We've also got some demo reel playlists on youtube, for you to peruse at your leisure, featuring both 2D and 3D work:

Meeting Recap, 11/30/12

Hey Guys!

 We had our amazing 'Legally Obtained File Sharing Homework Party Podcast Listening Extravaganza'  where we watched Paranorman, swapped helpful files (brushes, textures, images, etc.) from each other,  and worked on homework.

Announcements:

1.  The Bake Sale will be going on Monday through Friday of next week. Tyler sent out emails and messages to everyone who signed up for making food and helping at the table. Any other baked goods brought in would be much appreciated though even if you didn't sign up! Also, dropping by and buying some goodies would help too!

2.  Secret Santa drawings are due this coming Friday. Both groups can't wait to share all the art we've made for each other!  Make sure you have it done so your member get's a drawing!

3.  This Monday the Animation Representatives will be meeting from 11am-12pm for a discussion with Student Government about what improvements could be made to the department.  It'll be on the 1st floor of Kinney Hall in room 224. Feel free to stop in and speak about what improvements could be made to the animation department. The more the merrier!

If anyone still wants to look through hardrives and pick out certain files they want, feel free to contact a leader to get a hold of it.

Other than that, see you next week!

Secret Santa Rules!

Hey guys! You should all have your Secret Santa Assignments by now! Here are some rules to keep in mind!!

Secret Santa Rules

- Sign Ups are November 9th through November 16th depending on number of sign ups.

- The deadline is our last meeting of the year! NO EXCEPTIONS! This will be a joint meeting with both Collectives, so come prepared to give your gift this day!

- The ISC and the ASC will be exchanging names. This means that if you are a member of the ISC, you will receive the name and favorite character of a member of the ASC and vice versa. If you are a member of both Collectives, pick one! No hard feelings! NOTE: We didn't have an even number of names, so you may have received a member of your own group!

- Feel free to interpret their character however you'd like! There are no size or medium requirements. If you don't know the character, you may have to do a little research. If you get a character that you HATE, please try to depict them in a positive light! That is someone else's favorite character, so be nice. :)

- You may bring in either originals or digital copies/photographs of the work, as long as you have a physical version to give. For originals, just be aware that it's a gift and you probably aren't going to get it back. ;)

- IF YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE KNOW THAT WE EXPECT YOU TO TURN SOMETHING IN. Last year we had a lot of people made something but did not get something in return, which was kind of a bummer! Let's not have that happen again! We know that finals time is really busy, so please only sign up if you truly expect you will have time to create a piece.

- Just remember that everyone is at different skill levels! It's the thought that counts, and we're not making these to be graded or critiqued. :)

- Please put a to:/from: label on the work somehow, as it gets quite chaotic when trying to find the correct owners for things!



That's about it! Please let us know if you have any questions. Have fun!!
