After meeting with Richard Horvitz a few weeks ago, I've been thinking about pitching an animated tv show after graduating SCAD. Some really great shows (like The Powerpuff Girls) came from the
director's student films, and since I'm going to be doing an animated
thesis at SCAD, it would be prudent to maybe put together something I
could use in a pitch. I think the actual completion rate of thesis films
at SCAD is low, but I'm going to be sure to finish mine. If I can't be a Calarts student, then by God, I'm
still going to work as hard as one.
At any rate, I'm taking advantage of my summer free time to read some books I really wanted to, and get them out of the way before I go back to school and am really busy again.
