Guest Speaker: Darrin Fletcher
Storyboard artist.
Started at 16. Drew a lot. Joined an elite art group at 15.
Competition pushes you past what you think your limits are.
Your path is different from everyone. Most of us will struggle for the first 10 years. The talented, tenacious people get over the wall.
Be good at networking and friendshipping.
16 year-old layout artist for Sat morning cartoons.
Working for free is almost expected when you graduate. But only one time.
Be a hard worker, be qualified/ready-doesn't have much to do with experience but with work ethic.
12 hour-18 hr days without complaining.
Gotta be able to stick it out.
Learn how to be a negative shooter and you will have work forever. Just know how to expose properly.
Do second unit.
Be grateful because we have access to equipment and leaders who guide us like Phil.
We could be making films every weekend. We are surrounded by a bunch of people who want to make movies too!
This business is about who you know.
Every project you ever do is vastly different.
A good director is a great listener. Lets people do their job. good ideas come from everywhere, don't you want to be the one listening to all of them?
Location scouting is essential in preproduction.
Know the lenses to use in preproduction, shot list.
It's okay to fail here because it's a safe environment.
Grateful he didn't get his big break till decades into his career, or else he would've blown it.
the audience only knows what you show them.

Production Book Updates
Production Book Goodness:
Nicole, Jaleesa, Sam & I have divided the workload of who and what we are in charge of completing by the 16th of April. I am in charge of picking out the images we will use for the scrapbook design of the production book.
Scanning the information today for the Production Book did not go completely according to plan. Some of us gathered up clippings and images that will be useful, but thanks to technical difficulties we will have to scan on Thursday in class.
