reileen(Slightly continued from this entry.)
Over the past few days, I've been e-mailing the director of this entire thing, bombarding her with questions galore about this thing. She eventually told me to just call her in the office on Monday afternoon. Which I did.
Things I've found out either today or over the course of e-mailing her:
THINGS TO DO OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS
Tonight: Archaeology lab report. Gonna be a bit tedious, but it's gotta be done.
Tomorrow: Japanese stuff. Trying to remember how to color and draw. Have to help my brother set up an online account at Chase.
Wednesday: Art history paper analyzing a work of art from our chosen period that's not in our textbook. Doing more art stuff.

Over the past few days, I've been e-mailing the director of this entire thing, bombarding her with questions galore about this thing. She eventually told me to just call her in the office on Monday afternoon. Which I did.
Things I've found out either today or over the course of e-mailing her:
-I'll be provided with a set of markers and colored pencils, etc., to use and practice with should I be chosen for the DVD. Although I'll still have to bring my own supplies for the casting call.
-Speaking of which, I've got an audition slot (for lack of a better term) on Thursday the 16th at 11:00am at their studio, which is apparently a block and a half east of the Chicago Brown Line stop. This works nicely, since my archaeology class gets out at 10:00am, so I can just head on over to the studio early and sit there and read until it's time for me to strut my stuff.
-The director suggested that I bring a half-finished drawing or something to work with for my audition so that I can show off and explain how I use Prismacolor products to achieve a desired effect. So now I should probably figure out what it is that I want to draw. Awesome - I've got exactly two days to remember how the fuck I use markers and colored pencils, since I haven't really used those media in, like, a year! *spazflail*
-Compensation is still up in the air because they're not sure how many artists they're going to be using, but the director said that it might be in the range between $1000-$2000. YES PLZ.
-I'm apparently the only student auditioning. Mwee? Is everyone else, like, 30-year-olds+ that already have an established arts career? Oh dear.
-The director is apparently having a really hard time finding professional American manga-style artists that are local to the Chicago area and who work in marker. (Seems like the artists she was finding were all Photoshop junkies? Looks like no one was doing original manga work in marker, lulz.) Furthermore, she's not overly familiar with the style, and she admitted to me over the phone that she didn't really know whether my stuff was close to animanga standards or not.
