scadanimate!

Oop, I missed last week's update! Not much new actually happened, but I did ride the SCAD bus for the first time. It was a really neat experience. I don't really get to ride around much because I brought my car, but it was fun to visit all the little stops to and from Monty Hall. First class, awww yissss

I also bought this weird soda that I've been seeing adverts for all over town called Cheerwine. The cashier at walmart told me that she used to drink it as a little girl, so it must have been around for awhile. It's not in every store around here, but I kinda wish it was because it taste like coke mixed with a cherry Icee. 

 So last Thursday was the first meeting of the Contemporary Animation Society (animation club basically, one of the oldest clubs on campus). There was about 30-40 of us there for a screening of Pirates! A Band of Misfits! It was a great movie and everyone seems really friendly. They are gonna do some cool stuff this year like a 24hr animation night, movie nights, and they have THIS GAL doing a really awesome character design workshop! I'm really excited to go to the upcoming meetings. I still have to find the Siggraph chapter though, they are highly elusive!

Ok so fast forward to this week. I missed classes on Thursday because I was feeling ill, but I did manage to attend a Disney Internship thing and the SCADanimate show on Saturday.  The Disney meeting was basically the same college program thing they do at every school about working in the parks. It wasn't exactly the internship meeting I was hoping for, but it was still worth listening to for future reference.

The SCADanimate show was really great though! They showed about 15-20 of their best films from the past year, and I sat right up front. The shorts were all really wonderfully done, and I hope I can get into this show in the future.

Back to my studies though. I'm thinking about getting a tutor for rigging. some of the little important details keep slipping my mind and making the process absolutely impossible.
