Hey gang, first off apologies for the abrupt ending to today's class. The call with Lucasfilm is very important to the survival and growth of the Storyboard track. I just made the conference call though. Had Marin been on time i would have missed the start - very embarrassing.
The call went well and I spoke to the Head of Outreach and the Director of Clone Wars Dave Filioni and we're on course for getting the creative team out to AAU to present their preproduction and animation work on the show possibly by the end of the semester, more likely in January. As far as a 3D Story/ Previz class goes, it's very early days but we're hopeful it will happen for next year. Filioni did say that there were a couple of traditional storyboarders who retrained in the new proprietary (and very secretive) 3D Story software and that they've already refined some of the more advanced camera functions so that the animators can use the exact camera date from the previz. He reiterated that NO traditional storyboards were used in production. All very clever. And a little scary.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for letting me out early to take part in this. It was extremely beneficial even in the short term. That said I'd like to get the appointment times together as soon as possible so please email me - sfeatherstone@academyart.edu - your free schedules for Week 10 as soon as possible.
All the best
Shaun

Wait, 3D storyboarding? Is that creating simplified computer models and sets as stand-ins or something different?
