Well, we never decided upon a new meeting time... I propose we meet Tuesday 25 Jan 2011, in hopes that some of the snow will melt off the sides of the streets by then... I had a brief planning discussion with Batsey, who shall remain nameless, and one idea we came up with was a stick-figure storyboard jam (where we make jam out of stick figures, and use our fingers in the jam to make stories on boards?) No, we have pieces of paper with boxes, like a comic strip. Everybody starts with one, and draws in one of the boxes, using stick figures so the artistically challenged won't feel pressure to perform. They we pass the pages, and draw in another box, etc., until the boxes are filled and the stories are told. Do we fill in the boxes from left to right? Do we add dialog in the boxes? Do the sticks have to look like real sticks? What flavor jam do sticks make? All these are good questions, except for some of them.
Leslie (who shall also remain nameless) has just sent out an email, which says:
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year! Check out sketchbookchallenge.com - if you upload a sketch, you can win one of the monthly prizes (the winner is chosen at random).
I met Sue Bleweiss who is running the challenge. Looks like fun. Lots of tutorials, too.
So check it out - that's a possible meeting idea, too also. Lemme know what you think about the date (1/25) and project (stick figure storyboard jam, sketch book challenge, some other idea from the past, or another idea sprung Athena-like from yore brane.
Stop shoveling and get some sleep!
