1. It was good to see your first animations tonight. 
2. Over the weekend I would like you go to the tab marked "Pitch Bible" and review the contents.
3. You will need to pick a movie trailer to base your project on. On the right hand side of the blog there are links to various sites, look for "Internet Archive". On the archive you can find hundreds of trailers for movies that are public domain. The "Internet Archive" is a free online source for movies, television, music that are in the Public Domain. This means they can be re-used for projects like this.
4. If you cannot find a trailer you like on "Internet Archive" site,  go ahead and look through YouTube and see if you find something that was made before 1970. It's best to have two or three possible movies that we can talk about next week. I will work with you to pick the one that is the best for you.

Have a great weekend everyone!
