THE SIMPSONS NEWS Well, this week I managed to finish the first pass of my assignment. On Tuesday, we had a board meeting with the director and the head director. It was scheduled from two o’clock to five. We finished at seven. Personally, I don’t think it went well. There was a lot of things [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS I started board revisions on the Halloween show this week. I was given Act 1 which had the least amount of re-writes while my partner got stuck with the much heavier Act 3. It has a lot more re-writes and it’s much more complicated. It’s also the act the layout crew [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS Interesting week this week. I was taken off of Storyboarding because there was nothing to revise. I was on Show 17 last week but there doesn’t seem to be a Show 18 or 19. Show 20 has just been storyboarded and now it’s going into the story reel process. Since that was [...]

THE SIMPSONS NEWS Got a big compliment for my work from a director a few days ago and that felt good. Looks like the way I’m approaching the work is getting approval. Then there was this incident: Last week I finished a Couch Gag that I got very little direction on. It was assigned to [...]
THE SIMPSON NEWS It’s a four day work week this week. As much as like getting a day off, I hate having less days to do my job. The schedule doesn’t change because of any days off we have. It just means we have less time to do our work. I’m starting on a new [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS So managed to finish that crazy Couch Gag last week. It was very difficult and I’m not sure how well I did in the time I was given to do it. I felt like I could have used more time, but I finished it and the director seemed happy. On Monday I [...]
