I've got a handful of things to do this summer already, starting off with balancing two jobs: my job working as a summer mentor and office assistant for CCS's youth summer program and my freelance position as a motion graphics artist at The Park (Team Detroit).
In addition to those two day jobs, I am the main initiator of a group of animators/ illustrators at CCS to create a 3-5 minute short experimental film over the summer that we hope to submit to many film festivals in the area. So far I have 3 very talented, dedicated, and successful students that are part of the team:
- Grace Millard
- Sarah Visel
- Patricia Lentini
So far it looks like May is going to be our set-up month - to collect ideas, to storyboard, to build a solid team and gain insight from each team member, and to come up with a defined and sturdy idea by the end of the month. June and July will be huge work months, where we will all be hard at work on animating and coming up with a proof of concept by the end of June. As August rolls around, I hope to have a very good direction with where we are heading, perhaps a 1-3 minutes of animation we are happy with. August into early September will be the wrap-up months, since I don't want this project to leak too far into the start of our school semester.
I'm confident we can make this work and that in a matter of 4 months or so we will have something new to add to our portfolios! We have a lot of support from our friends and faculty members here at CCS, and I'm really happy to be working with the people I am working with.
Keep the good vibes coming ~ its going to be a successful summer!
