THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN DISCOVERY!!

[Ian Barker]

Thanks for the info Scooter! I don't see my name on there, probably because I was one of the people who won the class and didn't enter shipping info. My name is Ian Barker, btw.

[TAD Admissions: Scott Richeson]

well then it looks like you'll be going between these two lovely people on day two:

Holly Heisey
Inna Grishina

Thanks,

Scooter

[John English]

It might be helpful to size all of your images at 7.5 inches for the longest direction, at 72 dpi which would make the long side at 540. Then save for web as a jpeg no larger than 150 kb.

I have been loading lots of whiteboards the last 4 weeks and this is how Brent and I have been preparing all the images!

Good luck and I look forward to seeing everyones work next week!

John

[cl0aked]

Hey Scooter, my name is also not there, don't know why. It's André Castelo.

Oh now I see it - it's under Ladjane V da Rocha, the person who payed for my discovery class.

[donm]

hey scooter i also dont see my name up there, its "Don McKenzie".

[Ian Barker]

Oh, I was wondering if anyone early on in Tuesdays list would be willing to trade places with me? I have class at my regular school class about 2 hours after the reviews start.

[Thyname]

Liff

I'm sure we would bump you up. I'm only a few spots a head of you, but if it helps. you can switch with me

-Evan Norman

[Jason Manley]

I love this place. I am excited to see everyones work. I will swing by and will check the on demand as well.

Scott will get you all added.


Jason

[Capital G]

Cool!, I am primarily a 3D artist / Animator, I assume there is no option for including video? if not I could just post up some screen shots?

[TAD Admissions: Scott Richeson]

Hey Don,

You'll be going on day 2 between these two lovely people:

Derek Kampa
Egil Thompson

Hey Capital G,

Screen shots will work fine.

Thanks,

Scott

What to include?

Im a complete beginner and I dont have a large body of finished work to show. Are studies and sketches also things you would include in a portfolio?

[bolow]

Glad im not the only one Phil!

I havent been at this for long so have what i call finished studies as I dont think they are worthy of being in a portfilo are these fine to show?

[Adam Watts]

It's probably not going to be an issue for me since I'm going 3rd... ... but should we create a title slide to avoid confusion when we are switching between artists?

[neuroballistic]

I'll be at work during the portfolio review. I might be able to pop in from time to time but...how will that work? I'm second from last on Monday, today. I didn't see this thread until just now, and I don't have all my portfolio images with me on my laptop at work.

[zyndikate]

Ok, here comes a stupid question - assuming the time in the document file is the correct, how many hours until it start from now, 10?? The time zones really confuses me now :>

[Adam Watts]

starts in 30 minutes.

[zyndikate]

al right, same old time. thanks Adam!

[Purrdey]

What to include?

Im a complete beginner and I dont have a large body of finished work to show. Are studies and sketches also things you would include in a portfolio?

Same here Phil, I'm kind of scraping around for enough pieces that I actually finished! I'm not looking to make a career of this, but any constructive criticism is good right?

[applecheeks]

I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it on my day (Thursday)... would anyone be willing to swap? Any other day will do.

[donm]

hey applecheeks, mine is on tuesday, but im willing to switch for thursday.

[Sonia Leticia]

how could I go about getting pieces ready if I don't have photoshop?

[Amber Alexander]

I have a full time job and have had to catch almost all of discovery on demand. I have to work during all of the reviews so I don't get one then?

[applecheeks]

@jag.med: That would be great, thank you Don!

[donm]

applecheeks: yeah, im leaning more towards the technical side anyway, so Kemp would be a better critic for me. so i guess we need to ask Scooter if we can do so eh?

leticia: do you have a digital camera? you can download a free trial of photoshop or painter (for 30 days), as well as fully free programs like gimp.

[opposedcwood]

Can someone tell me what time todays class will start?I thought it would be up by now but every time i try to log in it it takes me to this screen (https://sas.elluminate.com/site/exte...h/meeting.jnlp)

[TAD Admissions: Scott Richeson]

2:00 PST Just like normal.. I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks,

Scott

[Swampdigger]

Hey, I'd just like to let the organizers know that I won't be making it class this week and would like my name taken of the list so it doesn't cause any time to be wasted. Name: Jonathan Hurd

Thanks

[Ian Barker]

Just want to say that I really enjoyed my portfolio review! Lots of very helpful advice was given and I have a clearer idea of what to work on to take my work to the next step. Thanks Wes and Brent!

[Murdoc]

Hey, this is going to sound like a silly question, but when you say 540 pixels "long side" is length, correct?

So if I had an 8.5 x 11 inch thing and covered it to pixels in photoshop it should be 417x540.. is that right? Seems like a weird number to me, so figured I'd check.

Thanks.
