Pitch Challenge Days: 1 of 2

Hello,

This is it, members! We’re approaching the end of the semester and with that, we have what we know as “Pitch Challenge Days!” Basically, you’ll be split into teams of two and you’ll be working towards creating a small presentation for an animation idea through using the concepts that we’ve looked into this semester. The team with the best pitch will receive $5 from Starbucks!

This is a two day event, where the first will focus on looking starting the story writing, where the second will be finalizing and giving your presentations!

In any case, we hope to see you soon and best of luck!

Thank you,
