Percentage of Work Finished

After Finishing all my Psychological shots concerning Caden's inner mind. I am at 60 %. I plan on being 80 - 90 percent upon returning from spring break.

I just need to do the animate caden cleaning up the room twice and Caden and Dominic facing up with Caden walking away. That shouldn't take too long because I have pre-made walk cycles for both Caden and Dominic, so I'm expecting faster progress then I've been putting out because of the assets I've been building as I've moved forward.

Meeting with Gadsby

I had my meeting with Gadsby on Wednesday 3, and during that meeting we discussed my resume and the importance of a strong cover letter when applying for jobs or interns. We actually went over my most recent resume and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the design and the overall aesthetic of the layout. After reviewing my resume, she gave me a lot of links and portals to job listings for animation entry level jobs. She also sent through to me in an email and list of jobs here in memphis that I could apply for. She said once I redesigned my resume she wanted to look at it. About the cover letter she said that the cover letter should be directly aimed toward the job, using some of the same words posted in the listing to increase it's effectiveness.
