Getting Ready for the Annies
Rough day today. Lot on my plate. Spent all morning trying to give away Annie Tickets to students at Southern California animation programs, Cal Arts, USC, UCLA, Laguna College of Art and Design, Cal State Fullerton. Most of these people are not sitting in their offices waiting for someone to call them. They are out in classrooms teaching students. But by the end of the day all but one school has called back.
Then it was a meeting this afternoon of the Archive Video Crew for this year`s Annies. Ed Gonzalez, this year`s director, and I met with student volunteers at Laguna College today. This year we are trying to get the archive video out of the home video category and into a more professional end product that we will be proud to add to the Animation Archive.
For all of you on the Video Crew that are looking in to see your photos. Thanks it ups the number of hits on the web log. The Annies are at 216 Brand Blvd., Glendale this Sunday the 30th. Video Crew needs to be there at 1PM.
Still have to finishing prepping for my classes. Have the Act of Membership meeting Wednesday night 7 PM at the animation center 2114 W. Burbank Blvd. Where we have to hammer out all the loose ends for the Annies. (If you plan of volunteering for the Annies you need to make it to this meeting)
Tomorrow I talk to the Animation Club at Brooks College about ASIFA and the benefits of student membership in ASIFA-Hollywood. ($20 a year, the best deal in town - remember the Annies swag and the free screenings)
Sometime before Sunday I have to pick up the mini DV tapes for the Archive Shoot, print up more business cards, finish up giving out student comps, and brush my teeth, get some sleep, first star to the right and straight on til morning.
