Jimmy's Suggestions for Songs to be used in the video

Here are a couple links for songs I was thinking of. If we want to use
any of these, I have high quality mp3s of each. I think the cover of
Exit Music will work nice.

10/24 Meeting Recap

Hi guys,

So we've decided on several things today:

I. We are going to use Brantley's characters for the animation. He is the new art director!

II. Measurements and Props we need for the shoot:

1. Background = 7" x 10"
White cardboard paper as base.
Objects on the cardboard paper should be made/cut from color paper/construction paper... etc. Using thick double sided tape or foam or anything else that you can think of to stack the objects to create 2-D effect on the cardboard.

2. Characters = 3" x 4"

Backgrounds: Field/Park, Apple trees, A Bank, Trashy studio right next to a dumpster in a very dark corner, Fancy/High end studio, Giant Mansion and its garden.

Props for the characters:
Gun, Paint brushes, Fruit basket,... anything else?

III. Assignment due next meeting 10/31 (Fri) Halloween:

Alex: Fields, Apple trees, and Apples.

Brantley: Characters - Artist, Barbie girl and Good girl.

Jason: Trashy studio.

Jimmy: Fancy Studio.

Joy: Bank and Mansion.

We will collect all the finished material on Friday and work on small props during the meeting and perhaps during the weekend.
