Extension!!

Hi there

I know most of you are up to your eye balls in work and gauging from the pinic emails I received, Nina and I have decided to give you an extension.

  • You MUST have 30 seconds worth of footage to show us by Tuesday 13 September. Today in 2 weeks time.

Those who have already presented their work, today, thank you. You have been marked on it.
All other Stop Mo students, present work on Tuesday 13 September. You will be marked on it as well and have 10% deducted from that mark. I have to do this in fairness to the students who did hand in work on time.

Other dates:
  • Next week, 6 September, you have an AfterFX class with PJ Kotze. Please attend the class.
  • 20 September, you will have a class on Sound for Stop Motion.
  • 27 September!! We want to see ANOTHER 30 seconds worth of final footage. You will be marked on this again.

So all in all you will have 1 minutes worth of footage by the end of September.

Please put these dates in your diary, so that you can plan your work accordingly.

There will be no more formal classes after 27 September. After that we will allocate slots for you to show us more footage between end September and end November.

Good luck with all the work.

Best

Tuesday class 30 August

Hi guys

Looking forward to seeing your 30 seconds worth of footage on Tuesday.

You will be marked on this. If you cannot make the class (with a valid excuse) and can't hand in the footage ON THAT DAY, then I'm going to have to give you zero.

See you Tuesday and have a great weekend. Good luck with all the work xx

The class that was and stuff for 23 and 31 August

Hello my lovelies

Just a reminder.Tuesday 23 August - Nina and I want to see 15 seconds of your film footage. Feedback will be given in class.

Tuesday 31 August - You need to present 30 seconds of FINAL footage to us and the class. YOU WILL BE MARKED ON THIS.

Please be present in both classes... I have forgotten what some of you look like.... We really can only help you/assist you/irritate you/inspire you if you come to class! See you next week.

That quote from last weeks class and the name of the book:

"Appreciation of yourself gives you the freedom to express who you are." -Brendan Nichols, from his book Your Soul Purpose,Avargo Press, 2000.

Have a great weekend.
