Indie Art Jam Attending (Weekend 2 of 2)
Let us know if you plan to attend Weekend 2.
EVENT DESCRIPTION
In this 2 Part Indie Art Jam (over two weekends) we will all be collaborating on an animated/mixed media video from story concept, script, storyboards, rough animations, voice/audio recording, and the final piece. This is a free event but ONLY open to people who have attended AT LEAST one of our workshops leading up to the event. Emphasis for these projects is to demonstrate the skills taught during our Blender 3d/2d animation series, storyboarding, illustration, and video editing workshops.
*note” ALL art/animations/audio/video MUST be captured within the time limit, but video editing will occur over the 2 weeks before the premiere of the short film 🙂

DAY 1 EVENT AGENDA
Part 1 (Sat Nov 2nd) 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. And the theme.
- 9am – 12pm Saturday: 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. We will also be discussing software everyone is using, and what style we are going for (2d/3d/both, hand-drawn, color theory, etc.).
- Noon: LUNCH!
- 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
- 6-10:30pm Saturday: Start on animations, record voice work and sound effects, discuss music choices.
DAY 2 EVENT AGENDA
- 9am – 12pm Saturday: Animation, editing, etc.
- 9AM SUNDAY: ALL PENCILS DOWN (submissions closed).
- After the 48hr Jam video editing will occur over the following week and assembling the final video.
Final PREMIERE will occur at our private events space 2 weeks following the event. 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 both days (and polish their pieces inbetween sessions).

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?
- Although we have our Discord chat we have learned that the best way to do these workshops is in-person.
- 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.
