Only 2 weeks left.
My internship is nearly drawing to a close. In less than a week I'm going to be pitching my storyboard for an animated short in the main conference room of Cartoon Network Studios. I've drawn about 100 storyboard panels so far, but I need to at least double that number, preferably over this weekend. You know what that means.
In other news, the first Intern pitches for Summer 2006 happened today, and I got to sit in on the session; we watched two of them. They were..... well, really, really, kind of awful. The stories were uninspired, uninteresting, inexperienced, and just generally poorly executed. And yet never have I heard a room so full of people looking desperately for something nice to say.
Granted, the meetings got rescheduled to a very awkward hour (5:00 PM? Everybody's ready to just leave early at that point), so the student-to-professional-artist ratio was perhaps not what it should have been, but I dipped my toe into the waters of "scathing critique" but nobody else showed signs of wanting to jump in so I mostly let it be.
I just hope that I can figure out how to be taken a little more seriously than your average intern. This is it, kids. Wish me luck.
