Mr. Cronin

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Pass Fail

In the passFail folder you will find this MP4 – created last year by Mallory.

Sound Design (add sounds that match the visuals) with at least 4 sounds. The chop sound you will use more than once, but it still counts as a single sound.

The goal is the mood and feeling of this is spooky / scary.

Export as lastNamePassFail.mp4 and upload to the passFail folder.

Raise your hand when complete, we will watch your work on the big board, and you will move on.

Remember that you are building your brand – you don’t want to rush, you don’t want to hear the start / ends of clips, as everyone (including your classmates) is judging your work.

When checked off move into production.

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

11:00 Audition Installation / Creative Cloud

Let’s download and install another Creative Cloud app, Adobe Audition, which we use for audio manipulation.

We will do this through Creative Cloud, and it will be the same process if you do this at home.

11:10 Animatic of Waking Up

An animatic is a preliminary, rough draft of an animated film or video, created by editing together storyboard images with sound to visualize the timing, flow, and camera angles before final animation begins. It helps filmmakers test the story, ensure everyone on the team is on the same page, and identify potential issues with the narrative or pacing, ultimately saving time and resources during the production process.

Check back to the Wednesday Dayplan for specifics.

11:35 A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow is a reader’s dream — a wonder-full, nuanced story full of wit, insight, and imagination.

Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

11:55 Lunch

  • No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
  • You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

12:25 English

1:10 Afternoon Break

1:25 Speed Design

Speed Designs are 15 minute sprints in GAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.

2:15 Dailies

2:20 “19 Minutes”

Every day in GAWD will end with “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:

  • Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
  • Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
  • Unplug

At the end I will 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened.

2:40 Dismissal
