2007's Portfolio

As promised here's my portfolio that I submitted to Cal Arts and brought back an acceptance letter. I don't remember the exact order, but I can make edits when I retrieve it in April. Plus there's some artwork I forgot to scan before sending it off (two pages of various character designs). So first off here's what I had in the portfolio case:

These first four are more of a "incase you don't look at my sketchbook" collage:




Then I took pictures of my stronger figure drawings and made nice prints of them since they're all on 18x24 paper and a little too large to ship without causing damage.


Again, nice prints of much larger then life drawings, I titled the skeleton- "Oy vey":



Then I submitted a 200 page sketchbook which was filled front to back with sketches, I didn't scan each and every page, but here are the highlights. =) The reason the quality is so low on these images is because I used my photobooth camera in my macbook, instead of taking the time to scan them in with my scanner. Also all of these people I have seen in real-life, I assure you the crazy old-lady(bright blue eyes, Jackson-like gloves) who loved her Wendy's(didn't draw her eating her Wendy's) and stalking me, did pass by my eyes. I'll be sure to scan some better quality images of a couple of these people when I get my sketchbook back.





Once I figure out how to add video or something I'll upload the animation that was included. Otherwise this is my portfolio. =)

Hey Congrats Jennifer!
My name is Yezi and I've been accepted by the CA program at CalArts as well. I saw your posts on the animatedbuzz forum and thought to contact you.

I also got into USC's MFA in animation and Ringling's computer animation. My top choices are CalArts and Ringling because, lets face it, theye are the best! :)

Anyway, I still haven't decided between the two and I was wondering if you had any insights on which one would be better. I've talked with graduates from both schools and a Pixar director about it but I was wondering what makes you so sure of CalArts?

Thansk!
Yezi

No worries Tahnee. :) I hope to certainly still see you at the new student day though. I'll be drifting around since I'm eager to meet all of the new people. I enjoyed your website and portfolio--can't wait to see what you'll do for a film! :)
