Wish Me Luck!
I'm applying for Tacoma School of the Arts. It's a huge deal. I've got to do interviews, auditions, make a portfolio, get letters of recommendation, and fill out a bunch of forms. I'm going for Filmmaking and Visual Arts. A lot of people have said I should apply, including the DIRECTOR of the school. I won't be here for a few days because I've still got to:
A) Create a still life of three common objects, with statement.
B) Create a two minute demo of one of my films, with statement.
C) Select a piece that represents my best work of 8th or 9th grade from each of these:
Only 20% out of district applicants (me) make it in, so it's a bloody battle for domination.
My Stress-O-Meter is off the charts.

chill you obviously have the skills if the director's behind you, just get the work done well and make the examples show off your actual flair, not just be all technically good. You can do it, good luck, and try not to stress too much.

Don't you just hate people who can drive a pencil properly?
Reply 13 years ago
yeah, but even more so those who can not drive a car properly.
i actually do some drawings in school myself *erm* did i say school?? well, not in science class, thats for sure. But its mostly just random punk stuff, nothing elaborate like that...
Reply 13 years ago
I drew in science... and math... and english... and every other class I had... Most of it was just doodles, though occasionally it would turn into something worthwhile on the side of an assignment.

Tuesday is nearly done in the UK - how will you have done?
Reply 13 years ago
Three hour's till audition.
Reply 13 years ago
Fingers crossed! (Mine, not yours, you need yours to draw) When you're done, go skating or something to burn off the stress while you wait for the decision.

Tacoma's going to be a big change from Gig Harbor. I'm going to have to cross the bridge(s) every day.
Reply 13 years ago
The Narrows bridge?
Reply 13 years ago
Yep. We don't have to cross the bridge anymore because they brought everything to our side. YMCA, Costco, Borders Books, New (Galaxy?) movie theater with two State-of-the-art 3D screens, the list goes on and on.
Reply 13 years ago
We have (in yakima) all of those things, except for the 3d screens. It is still boring as (censored). It would be nice if we actually had a tea shop, but it closed...
Reply 13 years ago
I've been across that bridge like, twice. I wish we had a Borders Books here....
Reply 13 years ago
The new bridge is so helpful. There hasn't been any heavy traffic since it was made. Speeds things up quite nicely.

Wow!! Woo Hoo! Good Luck! I'm sure that everything will go well! May the muffin forces be with you. (Oh, and listen to Kiteman. He is very wise.)

And don't be too stressed out! Stay calm during the interview/audition, and rock their socks (perhaps even their faces) off!
Reply 13 years ago
Thanks
Still, the documentary of my *current* school's play is adding to the stress. I've got to re-sync the audio and video for several hours of film, because of transfer bug.

Good luck, the quick draw requirement seems kind of easy, if you can't draw and put five shots in a six inch target at 7 yards in under 2 seconds, you really need practice, and they give you 30.
Reply 13 years ago
Gee, I gotta practice. *Runs to time-car* Quick! Where's my Flux capacitor?!
