For more than three years, a select group of BFA and MFA candidates have been quietly transforming themselves into a production team, helping grow projects, bridge communication gaps, and develop great stories into great entertainment.<br /><br />The first-ever Director's Award for Outstanding Performance in a Producer Role was awarded to Shauna Lacoste (MFA '11) and Jonathan Rollins (MFA '12). Next year, a Producing category will be part of the standard Spring Show submissions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The 2011 AAU Production Core</span> (in alphabetical order):<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Producers</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Anwei Chen -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Fall Animation Festival, Karma (2012), Magic Test (2012)</span><br />Vish Kumar -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Hired Gun</span><br />Shauna Lacoste -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Prelude, Desert Veil, Photon Effect<br /></span><span>Jessica Ladd</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> -- Lighting Collaborative<br /></span>Alex Lujo -- <span style="font-style: italic;">I Am Not Vietnamese</span><br />Janet Petros -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Walking With Giants</span><br />Jonathan Rollins -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Heart Mountain, Crazy Beat Strong (Every Time), Exposure (2012), Alien Vision (2012)</span><br />Victoria Simiele -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Just Looking (2012)</span><br />Paul Slice -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Prelude, Your Basic Cable Weatherman</span><br />Jesus Villareal -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Junior Giants, Monkey & Robot, Project TBA</span><br />Andy Wood -- <span style="font-style: italic;">Junior Giants (2012), The Horse Project </span><br />Lutz Wong -- <span style="font-style: italic;">I Am Not Vietnamese</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Coordinators</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Michelle Eisley<br />Carla Ginsberg<br />Lorraine Goodrich<br />Ann Hurley<br />Brittany Kikuchi<br />Elena Morillo<br /></span><br />We would like to personally thank each one of these students for their incredible perseverance, patience under fire, and ability to keep their respective productions on track, while balancing their own coursework during each semester.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Vince De Quattrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506504257175896288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719437461188107756.post-58054037965794019392011-05-19T12:14:00.000-07:002011-05-19T12:20:18.766-07:00Department ShowThe Annual Department Spring Show will take place tomorrow at Morgan Auditorium, 491 Post Street, San Francisco.
