Finish Film scores and get ready for the fam!

Alright folks, so a couple things...

FIRST and foremost, we will be having our class'
Family Night on Wednesday, April 15, from 6:30-7:30 pm. This will be a chance for your family (and friends) to come and check out all the amazing work you've been doing since we started this class. This is going to be a pretty chill event where I'm going to talk a little bit about the class and what we've been learning, and I'm going to play some examples of work for our visitors. Folks will then be free to walk around to your computers and check your stuff. Please tell your loved ones and homies to come out and support!

SECOND, next week is Spring Break. NO CLASS that week. I want you to rest up, enjoy your week off and come back the following week ready to work your booty off for the last month and a half of the program.

So what does that mean for today?

Well, everyone has a bunch of stuff to do. Keep in mind that you only have two classes - today and Monday, April 13 to finish all your work and get it ready to show to your folks on Family Night. Today, I want you to focus on the following tasks:
  1. Finish and turn in at least 1 of the two film score assignments from the last two classes, along with the worksheet. If you already turned in the first one (Juan), then please move on to the second one today. If you're still finishing the first one, finish up and move on to #2.
  2. Finish and turn in all the rest of your Audio Post Production assignments. These should include Audio Post FX 1 (Buster Keaton), Animation FX (the janitor), Trailer ADR (the dialog), Scary Score (Haunting in Connecticut), and your 1-2 Film Scores.
  3. CLEAN UP YOUR COMPUTERS!!!
In terms of cleaning up your computers, please do the following:
  • In your folder with your name on it, create three folders and label them AUDIO POST PRODUCTION, MUSIC, and Work in Progress.
  • [Optional] Give AUDIO POST PRODUCTION and MUSIC their own nice outline colors so that they're easy to see (right-click on the folder name and pick a color).
  • Put all your finished Quicktime movies into AUDIO POST PRODUCTION.
  • Put all your best music into MUSIC (audio files and/or Reason files).
  • Put EVERYTHING ELSE into Work in Progress. This includes Pro Tools sessions, random Reason beats, etc.
  • You should only have 3 folders in your main folder now:
