baconbeast I know these probably are not supplied for a Stabile Dorm Room, but just in case... are bed risers, laundry baskets, hangers, extension cord, or light bulbs provided? Thanks again (2 comments | comment on this)

8:50 pm - Animation Masters Thesis LJ

but_no_cigar Hi guys, I've started a new lj that I think many of you might find interesting.  I'm a masters student in 3D animation at the Glasgow School of Art, and the blog is the critical component of my master's thesis practical animation project.  I'm going to try and make it a theory-minded work-in-progress review of what I'm doing, literally as I'm doing it.  I'll explain the choices I'm making with the work, why I'm making them, and as much as I can compare and contrast with anything else relevant I get my hands on as part of my research.  Alongside this, I also hope to explore what it means to be an artist criticizing and theorizing, in particular about their own work, and, in a larger sense, what it means to "do" theory with a working knowledge of the creative process itself.  Right now "official" blog installments are planned for the pre-production, modeling and texturing, animation, post-production, and final, overall review stages.  These entries will be tagged "official."  Extra nuggets of theory and critical discussion that don't go along with these official entries will be tagged "theory."  I would also like this blog to become a resource for the animation community here on livejournal, and so I'm going to also post links to helpful tutorials and similar resources where I come across them, naturally with my nutshell opinions thereof.  These posts will be tagged "technical resources."  As far as my own personal areas of technical expertise go, I'm working with Maya 2009 for the 3D animation, shooting reference and special effects film with a Canon mini-DV camera, doing sound in Pro Tools, working with post-production effects in After Effects and possibly Combustion, and editing the whole shebang together with Avid. Apologies for joining mainly to self-promote!  I'd love to hear any comments anyone has about the project or in general. Thanks! Samantha Close (3 comments | comment on this)

3:45 pm - I need a place to live...

mago_maharbal Hey all what's going on.  I am 26 and I will be starting a grad program in architecture here at Pratt this August and I am looking for a place to live and some roommates.  I am from Chicago, and currently in Chicago, which certainly doesn't make this any easier.  I have not had much luck with craigslist, I recently found out about this site and I thought I would throw up a post.  I will be visiting New York next week, from Thursday to Sunday to look at places.  If anyone is looking for a roommate let me know.  hnewsom@gmail.com or hnewsom@pratt.edu Thanks (comment on this)

11:13 pm - Looking for a fall roommate?

_intothesilence Hi all, I just thought i'd check and see if anyone is going to be looking (or knows someone who will be looking) for a roommate for the fall semester and onward. I'm all set up with a room in Willoughby, but i'd really prefer to live off campus. The deadline for canceling housing is quickly approaching, so I thought i'd start asking around. I'm a 21 year old female senior painting major. Clean, quiet, friendly. I'd prefer to live in the general Pratt area. My e-mail is hwerthei@pratt.edu if anyone has an empty room or will be looking for an extra roommate in a new place! (comment on this)

astropod_five I'm going up to Pratt from Florida, and am going to want to change banks when I get there- what bank would be most convenient to open an account at, especially for avoiding ATM fees? (6 comments | comment on this)
