Junior Giants Project: Formatting?

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if we were shooting for a certain aspect ratio with the junior giants project. I'm assuming this is going to be shot for TV as a commercial/informercial sort of thing but I just wanted to make sure... I didn't see or hear anything about it so thought I'd ask!

WELCOME SPRING CLASS OF 2011~!

Hello all you talented Story Artists you~! Now I am well aware that the title of this blog may sound a little cheesey, but 'Heroes' is exactly what I think of you all in terms of navigating the complexities of the AAU tracks to get to where you've got.

I know it's so complicated and at times frustrating to feel like you're getting the skills you're getting in order to become the best story artist around. That said, I've recently updated the actual BFA track to make it more streamlined, industry-standard and most-importantly easy to read.

This is the first time in 6 years that the Story track has been so developed and all the advisors now have a much better understanding of the classes that should be taken in order to prepare you for the Industry. That said, you should always double-check with me on the classes you're taking - Just to be sure :)

All the best,
Shaun
