The new stills that have been posted all over the net are gorgeous! I can already tell that this short will be a big inspiration for me design-wise.

      Ezra Edmond Yeah they all look really nice! I'm excited! Especially a 2D short before a 2D movie! :D

    Patrick Stannard: Hey Matt, I'll be on campus a good portion of this Monday, look for me either in 303 or 006 if you have the time.  I'd like to catch up and update you on the films progress.

      Matt DeWater Hey Patrick I just now got your message, sorry. I've got tests to show you for all three shots you gave me, so hopefully you're here today. I'll find you.

    Matt DeWater To anyone that has done an internship: When I'm applying to somewhere that does applications by email (liiiiike DreamWorks), should I just put my cover letter as the body of the email? Or should I just attach it as a pdf along with my resume and portfolio?

    Patrick Stannard: Let me know when you have something to show.  :) I'll be working on tie-down all day today.

      Matt DeWater Well I worked all day today unfortunately, but I'll be working on the candle until 4 tomorrow. I work 4-11, so I'll post whatever I have done when I get home at 11.

      Matt DeWater I finished tying down the candle - I'm not sure why the timing seems weird on the tie down passes, it plays fine on my computer. But you get the idea. Let me know what you think.

But you get the idea. Let me know what you think. I'll be working on some homework tomorrow, but I'll squeeze in some work on the hand as well as the brush shot.

      Patrick Stannard Hey hey! Matt that looks stellar! You've got a nice eye for volume and you were able to work with very rough drawings and still keep the fluidity after tieing them down. Big kudos to you on that. I feel confident letting you tie down the hand. If you...  moreHey hey! Matt that looks stellar!

    Matt DeWater → Patrick Stannard: Hey Patrick - did you want me tying down the hand in that first shot as well? Or just the candle?
    • March 4, 2011
    • Matt DeWater
      Patrick Stannard I almost forgot about the hand in that shot. Hmmm. Do at least one frame of the hand and send me the picture of it so I can see how you handle the father's anatomy.

    Matt DeWater So I've never put together a Story portfolio. Someone told me that it should literally be 100% storyboards. I find it hard to believe.  Any thoughts??
    • March 4, 2011
    • Matt DeWater
      Deleted Member A DVD with Animatics is your bread and butter I would think. I'd say 80% should be story work and the rest showcases general drawing talent. Life drawings always a must! .............but thats just me.

They want to see that you can draw well.

      Matt DeWater Oh! Oh! Me! Me! I can draw good!! :) Matt - would you say it matters how finished the animatics are as to the dialogue or soundtrack or whatever? Or do you think boards simply set to time is good?

      Matt DeWater And Katya, I'd love to see yours when you're all done! Make sure to post it here :)
