😳 man, II only did indoor skydiving

I fell off my bunk bed once. That's the closest to sky diving I have been.

😂🤣😂

Hahaha! xD

How do you begin it all😦

That’s a bit weird

@vEveryone- Please adjust your chat to "All panelist and attendees"

This way I can chat with you, take questions and ensure we can all interact.

Richard ate a live wichetty grub in the outback of Australia! He did it for the sake of telling a story!

Make sure you change your chat to “Panelists AND Attendees” Then the students can see what you are saying

@richerd if your job is YouTube, what would they be looking for.

Richard ate a LIVE wichetty grub in Australia…and lived to tell about it!!

I don’t understand society’s taste

How does a drone class work?

What is the Drone professor's name?

Roger Apolinar

we can aallll be happy

😀

I am here to help!

Thanks for being here again!

Will the school be back on campus next year?

@Kenia- We will be back on campus as soon as we are allowed to.

We are hopeful that by this Summer/Fall we will be back

im interested in the animation class!

Is the drone class open to other majors as well?

@Venus- When you can send me an email. I will be happy to help you go over the options.

as an elective?

@Kendall- Yes. Students in other majors take it as an elective class all the time.

Email me when you can:

Hector Verdugo- Senior Vice President of Admissionshverdugo@academyart.edu

Including online students?

will do.

@Kenall- Let me check to see if we teach drone online.

*Kendall

wow, two cameras

Thanks.

Keep in mind this is being made remotely because of social distancing.

ironically I’ve been doing singing videos

unlike our election

lol

😂🤣😂

true

sadly

politics be W A C K

facts

@Kendall- Just to confirm the drone class is only offered onsite right now.

okay. I hope that they offer it in the spring semester 2021.

@Everyone- Has anyone here applied yet to be a student?

I have not. I don't think

how do I apply?

I haven't applied yet.

on the fence

I might have but I’ll do it just in case

I have not. I’m seeing the benefits I can achieve when joining your school

Still looking at all that AAU has to offer.

yeah

makes sense

I did I hope I get excepted

How do I vote for Kenderley’s backup singers?

actually we are offering the drone class virtually too…one of our students is in france!

The best first step is to email me. I try to help every student by covering different programs and options to help them figure out if this is going to be a good option for them. I am happy to help any of you.

Hector Verdugo- Senior Vice President of Admissionshverdugo@academyart.edu

Voice acting is also my second option

is that an option here?

sounds like my type of class

@Venus- We teach Voice Production courses and Performance classes.

Voice acting is a part of two classes, the ones that focus on performance — on-camera and on-microphone.

We can try to go over options for you later.

Hector Verdugo- Senior Vice President of Admissionshverdugo@academyart.edu

what is voice production

thank you!

We also have many voice-over workshops.

Is there any academic requirements for any of the media & communications classes at AAU?

Voice production is crucial to podcasting, narrating documentaries, and playing characters in videogames.

oh voice over…never mind

I’d be down with that

@Phoenix- Are you look at an Undergraduate program or Graduate Program?

okay!

what’s in the undergrad program?

It s full 120 semester units to earn your Bachelors Degree

@HVerdugo@academyart.edu undergraduate program.

The UGRD program focuses on several areas.

https://www.academyart.edu/academics/communications-media-technologies/

The variety of skills and classes is too large to list in chat like this.

Ok

https://www.studio79artu.com/

VOTE HERE!

@Phoenix- If you are looking into the UGRD program you will not need SAT or ACT scores

As long as you have graduated high school you can be admitted.

There’s a lot to know about media technology in this school

We like to do a 1:1 to go over the program first to make sure it's really a good match for what your career goals are.

@Carter- There are so many paths.

acting in cartoons is a big one, Mark Hamill is a well known voice actor

https://www.urbanknightsradio.com/

Mark Hamill likes to say, “May the voice be with you!”

Well in this case is it may the chat be with you

Anybody here on TikTok every day?

I don’t use apps like that

i am on tik tok but not everyday

No.

Guilty

I was experimenting with audio in my videos. I also experimented with lighting and time

Slow delectable creamy goodness https://youtu.be/afS1ux3oaTo

Anyone using Instagram Reels yet?

i am

No.

no

yes to Tik tok but no to reels

yes to Tik tok but no to reels

What questions do you all have for our presenters tonight?

do you have dorms?

that’ll be contrived

@Venus- Yes we have 17 different housing facilities

what does it mean to have proper lighting

Students have plenty of options to choose from

okay

@Venus- https://www.academyart.edu/campus-athletics/housing/

I hate roller coasters. that’s what that reminds me of

Famous Lombard Streer

Street

is there a cpisiffic microphone to use for voice-overs, video reviews, reactions, or podcasts

broke because of zoom call

I thank you for the opportunity to be here and for your time but unfortunately I have to go. Have a blessed night. Stay safe everyone.

@Darius- Thanks so much for being here.

for a graduate class you would have to pass your SAT’s, right?

I was wondering for the graduate requirements for illustration

I think so

@George Lucas: Every person has one magic microphone that makes him or her sound best. Just as professional billiards players carry their own cue sticks, pro Voice artists have a personal mic.

or for storyboarding

We recommend going to Guitar Center or similar shop and testing every single mic to find your magic microphone. We do have specific recommendations for starting out.

What’s the course number?

Our motion graphics classes make extensive use of storyboarding.

I would love to take the course.

Alright Hector, im checking out.. Thank you Steve, Richard and Jan, you guys were great!

I have a USB microphone

motion graphics and animation is the same right?

I think it works and I’ve used it for a month.

what the difference of game art and illustrations for comics and can i use the two for working in gaming of movies ?

@Venus: No! Animation is different.

@Franklin- Email me so I can try to go over it for you.

hverdugo@academyart.edu

will do

thank you

Visual Development helps teach character development for the film industry. GAM has a Character Development emphasis for the Game Industry.

🤷🏽‍♂️ I tried to get the XLR but I have a USB and all I’m doing is talking.

I need to exit out of the conference. thanks for all the information

bye

Does the school provide the drone or does the student need to get their own drone?

I might need a noise blocker for the back of it if it’s possible.

for online students will i have to get my material for what i will be studying or will the university provide with tuition ?

Remember that when you are wrapping up… pass it over to Hector to finish out the webinar

Discussing art history really interested me into looking the field of art.

I agree with Jan! I get excited seeing people who look like me in the career that I desire. (I’m interested in illustration but have a love for animation)

II agree with both Jan and Steve, the hands on part is what attracted me to the school

same lauryn! i have been drawing for a few years. teaching myself!

I agree, it took me quite some time to switch majors and I had to do it on my own.

esports is awesome

Thank you! That means a lot

ok, I love what’s happening. but I have go, I’ll be back on the 10th for the webinar

@George- Awesome!

👍🏽 I’m learning so much. I think I chose the right school.

I’m actually doing the same thing @Lauryn Graham with illustrator but more of animation

@Kenia Cerna I would love to character design honestly or have a go with 2D animation

same!

how much is tuition?

Could we minor in graduate programs or only undergrad?

that’s the career path I’m going on, I want to work with companies like Disney and Zag Studios

@Venus- https://www.academyart.edu/finances/

that’s the career path I’m going on, I want to work with companies like Disney and Zag Studios

@Venus- We have all students work with a financial aid representative 1:1 to help the plan out how to pay for college before they attend.

im interested in animating cartoons like my little pony, the amazing world of gumball.

im also looking to work for epic game and also would like to make comics for dc comic

Zag studios is a company based in France that words with cartoon. Thank you I had no idea they did games.
