List Season Comes Early:
Very burned out this A.M. Thursday spent 14 hours working phones, emailing, graphic design, etc (Video crew for Annies, guest speakers at Fullerton this week and next, internships for my students, film preservation stuff). Then Friday (yesterday) spent all day sorting and watching all, yes all (okay, almost all) of the submissions for TV Production category of the Annies. (9 in the morning to 8 at night)
When my family got home they moved right into an area of the house where they could not hear and then at 8 they forced me to stop. I still have 6 more to view. Already Scotch taped over all of the tracking number labels so that they don`t fall off in handling (had that happen last year, never again) and removed all the record tabs from the video tapes. I just have to get everything in numerical order and they are ready for the judging.
I am at that list making stage, already. And I am just on the side of the Annies. Gretchen Dixon and Annette O`Neil and Antran and crew are right in the thick of it all. I remember when I was just at theouter edge of stuff, working tickets and greeting on the night of the event. And I was thinking it would be fun to get more involved and it is.
Today is my daughter`s birthday so I am taking the day off (after I post this) and taking a whole crew out to see Wallace and Gromit and then tomorrow it is back to grading term papers for Cal State Fullerton and getting ready for my Monday night class and my first guest speaker.
Tuesday is mid-term portfolio review for my internship classes at Brooks. Wednesday is the Annie Feature film meeting and Thursday is 40 years of Kimba. Fred talked me into taking one of the voice-acting crew guests back to her hotel after the event. Friday I am sleeping and maybe some work on my animation.
