LB: man did you get my text from earlier
buddy: yeah youll be tutoring some nubs at AI or soemthing
buddy: ^5'
LB: nah man
LB: not tutoriing
LB: ok you know how i am doing the animated musical for the female songwriter, right? it's a short story of her grandkids going through some adventures
buddy: uhh no
buddy: esplain
LB: k
LB: a songwriter was looking to create a animated musical short (about 30 mins) , in which her grand kids get into this wacky adventure. she went to the booth of one of my buddies at the portfolio show, and he suggested me. she came over, we talked and i gave her a dvd. as she was leaving she stopped by my booth again and told me people had nothing but nce things to say about me, and she'd be in contact with me later. well we set up a deal, and met today at the school
LB: now to rewind second
LB: well when she first brought the idea to the school, to alison specifically, alison said she could do it one of two ways- A) through a student, or B ) through a class of students, as sort of like a client~project thing
LB: (alison is the career services advisor, she gets graduates jobs)
LB: the school were pysched about her idea, so she talked to me today to see how i would feel about doing the class thing
LB: she asked about the class thing because she said we could even do it in episodes, not just make one short
LB: so i said sure
LB: basically we'll be working together and getting started, and she'll work with the school on laying out th groundwork for the class and getting everything set up
LB: we'll have a classroom of student animators to get fresh ideas and concepts from, and probably even animate a few episodes, and the class will be about a year long
LB: she'll have creative control as always, but I'll act as a in-between guy, a bridge of sorts between her and the students- in a nutshell I'll be an art director/mentor
LB: since I don't have a master's they aren't going to give me a class, but if it does indeed get green-lighted through the school
LB: I'll be working with the students for a year on this, sort of like a student teacher (an actual teacher will be in there of course)
LB: but its just such a *good* surprise- i wanted to teach animation later on down the road anyway, and this is a perfect "dry run" as alison put it, to see if i really like teaching
buddy: holy shit
LB: yea, that's what i was thinking
LB: i'll be getting paid 15/hr as well
LB: to put the cherry on that proverbial sundae

In a nutshell- Along with getting a full-time job as 2d animator, and freelancing an animated musical short, I also might end up being a mentor/art director for a classroom of animators for a year at my school.

I've pretty much nailed the job interview that I had 2 days after I graduated, I just have to go meet the boss tomorrow and discuss salary, etc
:wub: :grin:
