Day 14 - 'The List'

I don't know if any of you are list people but I have to say - I am. Time is everything and I like to manage it through lists. I often write down what I need to do then priortise it as often I have so much on things can often get forgotten.

Here's the big list for getting a job at Pixar -

1) Tweak and streamline my website - it needs some attention.

2) Rewrite another draft of 'Monty Biggs'

3) Start storyboarding Monty Biggs with Kyle (illustrator)

4) Finish all the Hollywood Camera Works dvd's (currently watching number 3)

5) Learn to draw (hehehe) - yeah I know it's a lot bigger then a list number but I am going to put it in there anyway. Enrol in some courses (once I have some more cash)

6) Start to write a new script about an idea I have been working through

7) Go to SIGGRAPH job fairs

8) Try to obtain US visa - or at least research it before applying for US positions.

9) Start hitting the large companies for any position that can benefit my journey to becoming a Director. A position like Layout TD would work well as I would work directly with Directors to blockout shots and create the scenes.

10) Complete full Animatic for 'Monty Biggs'. Including sounds, and voiceovers.

more to come later..............


I saw 'Horton Hears a Who' today - man and it was cool. The animation was incredible and the lighting and rendering were some of the best I have seen. Great job by Dreamworks, really a step above ICE AGE 1 & 2.
