ABOUT ME

I have always been fond of Film and Animation.Which is why I chose Media Productions as my major and Computer Graphics as minor.I am going to graduate in Fall 2014.I plan to move to Los Angeles after graduation and hopefully work for companies like Pixar or MGM.

CAREERS IN INFORMATION SYSTEM AND MY FUTUREMaking movies is an extremely collaborative task. It takes many people to produce a feature-length film. While having solid, consistentinformation systemsin place is important during all phases of movie making, it's imperative to have solid communication systems in place during film production. Production's high costs and tight deadlines have forced the creation of some very effective tools to address this need.

CALL SHEETSThe call sheet is perhaps the most important piece of paper handed out to cast and crew during filming. This report includes detailed information on the next day's shooting schedule. It lists what scenes will be filmed, the location, which actors are called and their call (requested arrival) times as well as the crew's call times.

WALKIE-TALKIESBecause most information on set is verbal--and very time-sensitive--walkie-talkies serve as the primary communicationtoolon a film set. This includes when camera and sound are rolling and cut, when the crew is "moving on" to the next scene and announcing wrap (the day's end). Production assistants and the assistant directors usually manage walkies, including distribution.

DAILY DISTRIBUTIONDuring filming, memos, revised scripts, blank time cards and pertinentdocumentsare delivered from the production office to people on set. A production assistant (PA) delivers labeled envelopes to the assistant director (AD) team. An AD or PA then distributes the documents to respective crew members or their department heads. Information System keeps everyone connected on the set.

OFF-SET INFORMATION SYSTEMThroughout the development, a variety of information systems keep a film production running. Emails, phone calls and memos comprise the majority of those information systems. Tools like email and telephone are particularly important tools, especially since there are always tight deadlines to make. Information on producers' visits, extras casting, location scouting and any other important events are filtered through production.

This video gives a history of Computer Animation which is a part of my Major. Computer Animation is also a form of Information system where the data is visually produced then through different production methods provided to the consumer for feedback.***Please Press PLAY, if the video doesnt start automatically.***
