Bellevue College – Digital Media Arts Program Media 250: Internship in Digital Media GUIDE TO GETTING AN INTERNSHIP What is an internship? An internship is like a job, but it has several unique characteristics. 1) It’s temporary. The exact length of the internship is determined by the employer. The number of hours per week is not important, but it must be a minimum of 150 total hours. 2) It can be paid or unpaid. 3) The intern receives academic credit through the Bellevue College Digital Media Arts department. The course is Media 250: Internship in Media, which is a 5-credit class. 4) Most importantly, an intern receives ongoing training, supervision, and guidance from an expert in his or her chosen field. If you are simply there to complete work, it is a job. If the employer has the time and capacity to support you, it may be considered an internship. The Internship Coordinator in the Center for Career Connections will determine if a position is eligible for internship credit. Who needs to get an internship? Any student getting an Associate of Arts or Certificate in Animation and Graphics, Digital Gaming, Digital Video Production, or Web Multimedia Authoring is required to complete an internship. When do I need to do an internship? You must do the internship during your last quarter at Bellevue College. On rare occasions, students will be granted permission to complete their internship in the second-to-last quarter of their program. When should I start looking for an internship? 1. Portfolio: You should start preparing for your internship search as soon as you enter the Media program. Digital Media Arts is a very visual field. Employers will want to see evidence of what you can do. You need to have a portfolio. Start compiling projects that you’re proud of and that demonstrate your creative and technical skills. If possible, include projects you’ve worked on outside of school. Try to get your portfolio online so that employers can easily access it, and put the URL on the top of your resume. 2. Resume: You should also start working on your job-search skills immediately. If you wait until the last minute to work on your resume, it’s almost certain to get shortchanged. Many people assume that their job-search skills are fine. Fine is not good enough, especially in a tough economy. See below for more information about how to get help with your resume, cover letter, interviewing, and networking skills. Page 1 R:\Internships\Media 250\Media 250 Guide to Getting an Internship.doc 3. Search: You should actively begin looking for an internship several months before you want to begin. It takes time to find an internship, especially in such a popular industry. There is no exact formula for how long it takes to find one, so it’s best to plan ahead. What is the registration deadline? You must register for the Media 250 class at the beginning of your last quarter. The registration process can take some time because you and the employer need to complete the Training Agreement form, the internship needs to get approved by the Internships Coordinator, and the Business Division needs to issue the entry code. Do not procrastinate in getting your paperwork submitted. It is your responsibility to complete the requirements and register before blue card registration ends. View the Bellevue College Enrollment Calendar (http://bellevuecollege.edu/enrollment/calendar/deadlines) for information about deadlines. At the very latest, get everything turned in several days in advance of the final deadline. Who can help me find an internship? The Academic Internship Program, part the Bellevue College Center for Career Connections, is available to assist you with finding an internship. The Internship Coordinator will give you feedback on your resume and guidance on where to look for an internship. Call (425) 564-2279 to schedule an appointment, and make sure to bring your resume with you to the appointment. Keep in mind that the Internship Coordinator is NOT responsible for placing you in an internship. It is your responsibility to find an appropriate internship for yourself. The Academic Internship Program and the Center for Career Connections staff are available to help you improve your job-search skills and guide you in your search for an internship. What should I do before meeting with the Internship Coordinator? 1. CONNECT: Create an account on the CONNECT job & internship website: https://bellevue-csm.symplicity.com/students 2. Search Agent: We highly recommend that you setup a Search Agent on the CONNECT website. The Search Agent is a feature that allows you to receive email alerts when new Media internships are posted. This will save you time. You have to set this up – it doesn’t automatically know what you’re looking for. Step-by-step instructions for setting up the Search Agent can be found in a PDF document on the home page of CONNECT called the Guide to Using CONNECT. Call the Center for Career Connections front desk at (425) 564-2279 if you need help logging into CONNECT or setting up a Search Agent. 3. Resume, Cover Letter, & Interview Guides: On the home page of the CONNECT website, you will find three PDF documents: Resume Essentials, Cover Letter Essentials, and Interviewing Essentials. Read all three of these documents very carefully. Most people assume that their job-search skills are fine. Fine is not good enough. You need to be able to communicate your strengths to employers in the most professional way possible. A lot has changed in the job-search world in recent years. These three guides are based on what real employers are telling us – not on books, websites, or tradition. Reading these guides should be the first step of your preparation. Page 2 R:\Internships\Media 250\Media 250 Guide to Getting an Internship.doc 4. Center for Career Connections: Visit the Center for Career Connections website: http://bellevuecollege.edu/careers. The department offers classes and free workshops on job-search skills, including resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, networking, LinkedIn.com, and salary negotiation. Individual appointments are available with any of the Center’s Career Specialists. Call (425) 564-2279 to schedule an appointment. 5. List of Employers: You are lucky to be in a field that’s fun and interesting. Unfortunately, this means that a lot of people want to do what you want to do. Therefore, there is a lot of competition for jobs and internships. Usually Media employers don’t need to use their time and money recruiting people. So job and internship seekers must seek out the employers. You must actively search for an internship – it won’t just fall in your lap. We recommend that you become familiar with the Media employers in this area. Visit their websites regularly to see if they have any new jobs/internships posted. At the bottom of this guide you will find a list of Media-related employers in the Puget Sound area. This is not a complete list, but it’s a good place to start. Put these websites on your internet Favorites and check back regularly. Employers have different preferences for how they want to be contacted. If they indicate on their website that they don’t accept unsolicited resumes or phone calls, be respectful of their wishes. Sometimes Media jobs and internships are available at companies that you would not automatically think of when you think about Media. These days, many companies are using multimedia marketing and product design. Expand your search to include companies that are working on cutting-edge projects. 6. Network: It is commonly said that the best way to find a job is to know people. Some estimate that 80% of jobs (and internships) are obtained through networking. Talk to the people in your life: friends, family, classmates, everyone. If you’re part of a gaming community, talk to them as well. Find local groups and professional associations, and attend their meetings and social events. Tell them what you’re doing in school. Tell them about your career plans. Show them your resume. Tell them you’re looking for an internship, and ask if they know anyone who works in the industry and might know of an opportunity. 7. LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com has become a hugely popular networking and professional development tool. The Center for Career Connections offers a free workshop on LinkedIn each quarter. It’s not enough to create a profile. You must actively use the website. The workshop can show you tips and tricks for connecting with people and learning more about your field. Be sure to use LinkedIn’s Groups feature. Groups allow you to connect to professionals in the industry, follow discussion boards, view job announcements, read industry news, and more. There are many Groups to pick from. Join many, get a feel for the ones you like, and delete the ones you don’t like. Here are a few industry-related Groups to consider: • Seattle Media People • Film TV Professionals • Creative COW (Communities of the World) • Video Editors • Linked:Seattle • Media Professionals Worldwide • Filmmakers Worldwide • Music and Entertainment Professionals • Visual Effects, Film and Games Professionals • SF Cutters • ThoseInFilms • Media & Entertainment Professionals • Filmmakers • Final Cut Pro Digital Filmmakers and Editors • [VFX_AG] - The Visual Effects Artists Group • Web Designer • Spliced Media • Freelance professionals • Film and Television Professionals • Cryptarchy VFX Page 3 R:\Internships\Media 250\Media 250 Guide to Getting an Internship.doc 8. Listserv: Make sure you are on the Digital Media Arts department listserv. You won’t be overly burdened by listserv emails.

    Leslie Bishko the Uses and Abuses of Cartoon Style in Animation

    Animation Studies – Vol.2, 2007 Leslie Bishko The Uses and Abuses of Cartoon Style in Animation Introduction “Cartoon style” in animation broadly refers to animation design and movement that adheres to the 12 Principles of Animation, defined and developed at the Disney Studios. The Principles evolved through trial and error, by observing motion on-screen and noting what aspects of animated movement served the believability of the characters. To this day, the 12 Principles of Animation are known by all animators and used as a benchmark for good animation. Yet, these principles are not complete movement concepts. They influence specific movement patterns that are often applied without consideration of their effects, resulting in characterization that lacks authenticity. Viewers have come to expect that animated character performances portray the illusion of a living being. As a determining factor for believability in animation, authenticity functions on two levels. First, we suspend our disbelief and engage with the character; there is no question of the character’s aliveness. Second, through characterization, we experience an authentic being whose inner intent is communicated outwardly, and made unmistakably clear. Originating from the roots of 20th century modern dance, Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) is a conceptual framework for the observation, description and interpretation of human movement that offers a robust movement vocabulary. Where Animation Principles can potentially impose a specific style of animated movement, LMA is style-neutral and therefore excels at articulating components of style. Additionally, LMA addresses the relationship of intent to action, an innovative feature that aids us in the observation of authenticity which the Animation Principles lack.

We also thank our editor, Lisa Renaud. About tHE mILKEn InstItutE The Milken Institute is an independent economic think tank whose mission is to improve the lives and economic conditions of diverse populations in the United States and around the world by helping business and public policy leaders identify and implement innovative ideas for creating broad-based prosperity. We put research to work with the goal of revitalizing regions and finding new ways to generate capital for people with original ideas. We focus on: human capital: the talent, knowledge, and experience of people, and their value to organizations, economies, and society; financial capital: innovations that allocate financial resources efficiently, especially to those who ordinarily would not have access to them, but who can best use them to build companies, create jobs, accelerate life-saving medical research, and solve long-standing social and economic problems; and social capital: the bonds of society that underlie economic advancement, including schools, health care, cultural institutions, and government services. By creating ways to spread the benefits of human, financial, and social capital to as many people as possible— by democratizing capital—we hope to contribute to prosperity and freedom in all corners of the globe.

    Hello, and Welcome to Producer Bootcamp!

    Hello, and welcome to Producer Bootcamp! Silence phones, fill out surveys, email me instead of taking pictures of the slides. I’ll leave lots of time for Q&A at the end, so please keep track of anything you want to know more about! Hi, I’m Ruth Tomandl and I’ve been a producer/PM for 10 years (and 3 days!), on 8 different teams at 5 companies. I started in the Games industry at Gas Powered Games as a Level DesiGner workinG on the DunGeon SieGe Games, and I really liked schedulinG and coordination so I looked for a Producer job and joined a small independent game company, Snowblind Studios, which was acquired by Warner Brothers soon after and merGed into Monolith Productions. In 2013 I joined a mobile game startup, and in 2014 it shut down and I helped Uber Entertainment start a backend startup called Playfab. I’m currently at Oculus Research, and we are GrowinG really quickly. Lately I’ve been doinG a lot of interviewinG, hirinG, manaGinG, and mentorinG, and fiGurinG out which skills are needed on which teams. In this talk, I want to share some things I’ve learned about strengths that I wish I had known 10 years ago: what I’ve learned about producer strengths in general, my own strengths and how they’ve fitted the teams I’ve been on (for better or for worse), and how our strengths and weaknesses affect what kinds of producers we are. So today, I’m going to talk about: • The job of a producer: what even is it? • Different types of producer strengths • Different types of teams (and what kinds of producer skills are needed on which kinds of teams) • How to debug your own skills to better fit the needs of your team and build your strengths.

    Second Annual SXSW Gaming Awards Announces Top Winners in 21 Categories

    Second Annual SXSW Gaming Awards Announces Top Winners in 21 Categories Dragon Age: Inquisition takes home Game of the Year followed by three award wins for Middle- earth: Shadow of Mordor AUSTIN, Texas (Mar. 14, 2015) — South by Southwest (SXSW) Gaming today announced the winners of the second-annual SXSW Gaming Awards – part of the SXSW Gaming Expo – presented by iam8bit, Logitech, Porter Novelli, Twitch and Wikia. Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater hosted the ceremony which was co-emceed by actress and comedian Janet Varney and popular YouTube personality Markiplier. In all, 21 awards were handed out, with Dragon Age: Inquisition taking the top honor as Game of the Year.

Speedrunners was chosen by gamers on the show floor to take home the Gamer’s Voice Award, beating out 29 other games showcased in the SXSW Gaming Indie Corner.

    Vol. 10, No. 1 (2019) http://www.eludamos.org Games and AI: Paths, Challenges, Critique Mathias Fuchs, Andreas Sudmann Eludamos. Journal for Computer Game Culture. 2019; 10 (1), pp. 1–7 Games and AI: Paths, Challenges, Critique MATHIAS FUCHS AND ANDREAS SUDMANN In 2006, the first-person shooter F.E.A.R. makes headlines in the gaming world. One feature in particular attracts much attention: the non-playable characters seem to behave intelligently to a degree yet unseen in computer games. From earlier productions like No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 (2000, 2002), players were already familiar with NPCs that are able to seek cover under fire and to leave it at random in order to shoot back at the player. In F.E.A.R. that happens too, but in a much more realistic manner. Computer-controlled enemies attack players in a coordinated way. If one member of the enemy team comes closer, he gets supportive fire by his team members. If the player attacks them, enemy forces remain in cover until they are immediately threatened. Ten years later, an AI system called AlphaGo beats the human world champion Kim Sung Yong in the ancient board game Go in five rounds—final score: 4-1. The global community of Go players is perplexed, almost shocked, even though the victory did not totally come out of the blue. Already in October 2015, an earlier version of AlphaGo was able to beat the European Go champion Fan Hui. However, Hui’s playing level was significantly lower than that of Kim Sung Yong (2-dan out of possible 9-dan levels).
