EVENT AGENDA
So, you may be asking yourself how the heck is this going to work?! What is the theme, what software are we using, etc. Let’s cover all that!
- When you RSVP, each artist will answer with what they are interested in focusing on (i.e. animation, backgrounds, concept art, audio, writing, etc.). And which hours/days they are available.
- 9am – 12pm Saturday: I will start the event on Discord and meet at our events space. We will have a Magma collaborative canvas going and have a general social for everyone to pitch ideas and discuss (either in-person or online). We will also be discussing software everyone is using, and what style we are going for (2d/3d/both, hand-drawn, color theory, etc.).
- 1pm – 4pm Saturday: Writing/Concept Art/Rough animations will be happening in tandem as we continue to flesh out ideas generated from the morning art jam and ideation session. Each artist can pick a section to animate, or provide other content in this 3hr sprint.
- BREAK 4-6pm
- 6-Midnight Saturday: Cleanup animations, record voice work and sound effects, discuss music choices.
- 6am-9am Sunday: Final Submissions!!!!
- 9AM SUNDAY: ALL PENCILS DOWN (submissions closed).
- After the 24hr Jam video editing will occur over the following week and assembling the final video.
- Final PREMIERE will occur at our Summer Party at Dabney State Park on August 17th!!!!!
- This is a rough schedule outline, we will do our best to keep to it but things will likely change as the event gets going. It will be fun, semi-organized chaos! Folks can also contribute art at any time in-between 9am Saturday to 9am Sunday.
Join us for a hands-on session in a supportive and collaborative environment. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills, expand your network, and have fun!
FAQ:
- What if I don’t have a device can I still participate? Yes! We have a couple spare laptops, tablets, professional microphones, rendering workstation, etc. spare equipment is used first-come-first served. You can also bring your own device.
- How do I participate if I can’t join in-person? We will have the Discord event running for 24hrs, so folks can join our voice/video chat channel at anytime!
- Do I need to be an experienced artist to participate? Nope! All experience levels are welcome. The idea is not to create a ‘perfect’ piece. But to just have fun collaborating with others.
