ucla film school

[f0d]

so i applied to the ucla undergraduate film program last month and have been eagerly awaiting word on my application. the school is extremely prestigious and selective (its the school jim morrison dropped out of to form "the doors") and the chances of getting accepted are extremely slim. ill put it this way: there are around 1500 transfer applicants per year. 15 of them get accepted. there are around 150 students who apply from within UCLA. only 15 of them are accepted as well.

so anyways i was freaking the fuck out because my friends applying along with me had already heard if they got in or not and i hadn\\\'t. i was starting to lose hope until this morning when i got an email from them

apparently theyve been trying to contact me for a fucking week! i put the wrong fuckin email address on the application and i lost my cell phone on the fuckin train. she had to look up my alternate email address from some directory just to contact me. god fuckin damn im a retard

but oh well! im getting interviewed on june 6th. out of hundreds of applicants, only 30 are chosen for an interview, and 15 are accepted based on that interview. if i get accepted, i will major in film with an emphasis on animation.

im halfway there guys! wish me luck

also if anyone is in LA on june 7th,

[f0d]

thank ye

[f0d]

just did the interview

it seemed to go pretty well, the interviewers liked me and were really impressed at what i had already done in the film school

they actually were really encouraging, they said the letter of recommendation from my animation teacher held more weight than one from a film director. other applicants had letters from people like ron howard and robert zemeckis i was like "HA fuck you"

[ZekeySpaceyLizard]

oh boy robert zemeckis

love dat mocap

[f0d]

fUCK HIM he is the bane of all animators.

well not really, he and speilberg were actually watching the thesis film of a ucla animation grad student and decided to hire him right out of college to direct monster house.
