CHRIS ALLISON, PART 4


Howdy Future Titan folks!

Just this last weekend we had an exciting event! It was the BOMB, an event
put on by the Pencil Mileage Club. The bomb is an event where lots of
students from the animation department (and anybody else who is curious)
come together to create a short collaborative film. We all cram into the
animation room the whole weekend, working in cramped spaces with little food
or water… Just like the pros!

How it works is that everyone turns in cards with arrows showing how they
want the bomb to enter and exit their animation. Then we string these cards
together so that the bomb will look as though it’s sequentially going from
shot to shot. What happens in the middle is left up to each artist! Some
are funny, some are action packed, but all of them are pretty fun to watch!

Traditionally, the officers animate the beginning and ending to the bomb
(the explosion). I worked on the introduction this year, and it’s been a
tradition that every year the officers come up with something new and
interesting. I can’t wait to show it off, it’ll be exciting!

The BOMB is shown at the end of the year film festival, and people really
look forward to it. I’ll keep you guys updated on when the film festival is
in case anyone would like to come out!

Adios banditos!

Your pal,
Chris
