Hey Mark, Another great showing by the students. As always though - the same comments. This is your time to shine. This is your portfolio that you hope will open doors for you.
Two films got applause during the screenings: "Sketchi" by Lili Sun (a sentimental favorite) and Boris Maras' "The Monkey and the Elephant" (probably got the title wrong - sorry.)
Boris' film was incomplete - at the pencil test stage - but that didn't matter. It was brilliantly done. The draftsmanship, the acting, the timing - everything was perfect. Bravo!
On the other end of the spectrum were the "What were they thinking?" films. Some were poorly done - badly animated, incoherent stories, technically weak. Then there are the films with awkward sexuality. This is a topic for another discussion. I'm no prude and while there's nothing wrong with nudity/sexuality (handled very well in Melanie Daigle's "Field Trip") - most other films that had a sexual element fell flat (pardon the pun).
I understand that these films are personal statements - but they should first and foremost be considered job seeking tools.
My 2 cents.

Another school year gone. Another group of graduates stepping out into the world. Another industry day. What's below just scratches the surface of what went on. [Image] [Image]Second and Third year student volunteers prepare for the crowds.
