Self Crit & Short-Term Goals

I think this semester was very challenging, but very rewarding as well. I'm not sure how my grades will look this semester but I'm guessing I will have my first C. I should quit being a snob about that anyway. I really hope I can deliver better stuff next semester.

PORTFOLIOS:

DVD
The Final has a part where the sound is still shitty- I will probably fix that by Friday.
I also will put the Thanksgiving stuff up on there.

Digital
Everything is fine.

Web
Everything is fine.

Goal Statement

Winter Break:

  • Animate fun things
  • Write scripts non-stop (Have at least 2-5 finished by the end of the break)
  • Learn to meditate so I can control my work more, and so I don't hate teachers
  • Contact CMT/MTV Networks in Nashville for a tour/ that thing that Gadsby says they give to prospective interns
  • Work on and get used to syncing sound
  • Look into interning at a small studio in Nashville/get a tour/network
  • GROW WEB PRESENCE
Spring Semester:
  • Make next film: About a Student
  • Make Stop-motion film(s)
  • Internship at Channel 5 : WORK WORK WORK
Summer Break

  • BIG-TIME INTERNSHIP HOPEFULLY
  • Animate fun things
  • Work for the Man?
  • Travel? Network and Connect in NY HOPEFULLY
  • Refresh on syncing audio
