MAYDAY!

It's that time of year again, birds are singing, flowers are blooming...and animators will soon be sleep-deprived! 

That's right -- time for DePaul Animation's 2nd Annual MAYDAY! event.

In conjunction with our student group, the Animation Lodge, we’re again hosting an all-weekend long group animation project. MAYDAY! is a fun, educational, and exhausting endurance test that also gives everyone a chance to hang out and get to know each other.

Students, alumni and faculty will join together for 44 hours, working from 6pm Friday night through 2pm Sunday afternoon (but you don’t have to stay at school the entire time -- and you can work from home as well).  Remember, MAYDAY! is NOT a contest but a creative social event, so don't miss out! 

The schedule for MAYDAY! 2012:

6pm Friday, April 27: KICK-OFF!  We’ll meet in room 924 to introduce ourselves and choose a THEME.  Then we’ll animate. You can work on projects as groups or as individuals, in whatever medium you choose.

9am Saturday, April 28: breakfast

6pm Saturday, April 28: dinner

9am Sunday, April 29: breakfast

2pm Sunday, April 29: wrap-up

In order to participate, you need to RSVP Meghann Artes, at martes@cdm.depaul.edu  In order to plan for food and building security, let us know when you plan to be around (which night(s) you’ll stay over* and which meals you’ll be here for). *A word of advice: If you want to take naps, remember to bring a sleeping bag!
