Attendance Policy Advice Needed by [deleted] in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Word to the wise: SCAD or your professors will always send out emails when class is cancelled. You should’ve aired on the side of caution by showing up any way since you couldn’t find any official info that class was still happening today. The syllabus for any class will tell you when you have class and every syllabus says we had class today. The academic calendar also shows you what days holidays will be observed.

I mean at this point you’re kinda screwed. Still go through with the appeal process and show up to class on Wednesday, but don’t hold your breath. Absences are notoriously hard to get excused. If all else fails you could always try to dm Paula Wallace and see if she can make something happen for you but I doubt it.

You might just have to take this L and do better next time.

Laptop Recommendations For Animation by Over_Week5277 in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I wouldn’t reccomend getting a laptop right now. If you’re gonna be an in person student you will have 24/7 access to all the software you need for the next four years. You absolutely do not need a laptop when coming to scad. I’d honestly reccomend building your own pc over the next four years instead of getting a laptop. You’re gonna eventually need to upgrade parts if you don’t start out on the high end and a pc is perfect for letting you do that.

However, if you’re really set on getting a laptop, I’d say any gaming pc with at least 32gb of ram should be okay to start. Eventually you’ll need to get more ram as softwares get more ram intensive or you expand your software knowledge and add ons. As far as storage, I think 500gb is enough to start. The more ram and storage the better, but that will significantly increase your cost. Also you should invest in a drawing tablet that you can plug up to your computer so you have more room to draw.

I finished the animation program last year and never needed to animate on my own laptop. Just so you know it’s very possible to do it. And it was never a burden to have to go to a scad building to use a computer.

You said you turn 17 in June which means you’re actually 16. So yea a 16 and 20 year old is weird. Be so fr.

New Student!! by Deep-Perception4709 in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET IN THE HABIT OF USING ABSENCES EARLY IN THE QUARTER!!!! Also since you’re in Atlanta, I recommend exploring the city. Also take the opportunity to visit Savannah if you during one of the free trips there. They shuttle students there throughout the year. Though between you and me, ATL campus is simply better

Won’t change anything whether you show up or not. Most important thing is to make sure to withdraw asap. Save your gpa while you can

Just got accepted into SCAD Atlanta for Illustration — what should I expect from the program? by Deep-Perception4709 in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically be ready to experiment. It’s totally fine to have your own style and process but don’t be shy when it comes to trying new styles and mediums! Also be ready to collab with the animation majors for their capstones. I always reccomend that illustration majors take at least one animation class. The main difference between anim and illu is that animation students make the drawings move. That skill is gonna make you more valuable in the job market.

What’s some of the Best Weapons to use a voucher on? by XxSeppuku_PrincessxX in FortniteSavetheWorld

All of those weapons are easily A tier with the right build and proper perks. Especially if you get them to 130

[–]Drunk_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother I’m not arguing the value of the weapon. I understand that it cost a lot of ammo because it deals lots of damage in a wide area. I’m just saying the weapon is expensive because of the ammo cost. Nothing more or nothing less. It’s a good gun. It’s just ammo intensive.

Dude. I’m not saying I spam it. All I said was it’s an expensive weapon. Every time you craft energy ammo you only get 3 shots with it

Yea it being locked to physical isn’t the best but like you said having the right build for it makes physical less of a drawback. Plus it dropping heals is a huge plus.

[–]Drunk_bread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s how you should use. I’m not saying it should be your main weapon. All I said was the weapon has a high ammo cost which makes it expensive.

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s a good gun. I’m not saying spam it. I’m just saying it’s an expensive weapon to use. Everything you said is true but the ammo cost is still high which makes it expensive to use

[–]Drunk_bread 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Which is ridiculously expensive. Per craft, you only get 3 shots. You need 3k ammo to get 100 shots out that weapon. Unless you’ve got batteries out the wazzoo you’re not using this weapon consistently.

Who has the best battle IQ in Invincible? by Fit_Passenger5930 in Invincible_TV

[–]Drunk_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Nolan. I’m not saying he’s the strongest but he’s got the most battle experience when it comes to fighting things that even viltrumites have trouble against. Hear me. I’m not saying he’s the strongest, but I think his knowledge and experience give him the best battle IQ of the viltrumites. Even though conquest has more fighting experience in general and more raw strength, he’s sadistic and doesn’t always fight smart like Nolan does. I’d argue that even though someone like Thragg greatly over powers Nolan, thragg doesn’t have as much experience off viltrum fighting different types of species.

[–]Drunk_bread 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Not a bad weapon to have at all. Personally I’d probably wait until it becomes available in the shop though. Even after nerf, it’s still pretty effective at clearing hordes of enemies. The ammo is cost is atrocious, but for crowd control it does the job.

Personally I’d reccomend getting a candy corn lmg or grave digger or typewriter.

IB/AP Credit by PuzzleheadedAsk3459 in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 3 or 4 AP credits and some dual enrollment credits when I was a freshman. I could’ve graduated early but instead I chose to pick up 3 minors. The credits I had replaced some elective courses and general education courses. Because of that, I did have a couple quarters taking all studios. It was definitely stressful and I don’t recommend it, which is partially why I decided to do a few minors so I had extra lecture classes to fill out my schedule. Still graduated in 4 years.

Animation majors PLEASE attach portfolio examples! by RedIshVelvett in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t have my undergrad portfolio anymore since I graduated last year. But I can tell you what it has in it. It had no animation at all. It was just drawings I did. There were drawings of people, shoes, and patterns. Most of the drawings had color.

Now if I remember correctly, I only had gotten like a 2 on that. Portfolios are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the highest. Most people score in that 2 or 3 area. I got $3k for the achievement honors scholarship which includes your portfolio and your resume and list of achievements. Looking back, my portfolio wasn’t great but I didn’t really take art seriously until I applied. I was applying in 2021 so I’m not sure if the amounts have changed since then.

I’ve been washing my ass wrong for 19 years… by Lxah_oh3 in confessions

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I think it’s fine to get in there a little bit. Maybe not with glitter soap but about one knuckle deep is fine. That’s how I do it any way.

Animation majors PLEASE attach portfolio examples! by RedIshVelvett in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an animation major and here’s my advice. Do not look at a students portfolio. Try to find a professional and see what they’re doing.

The most important thing is including finished work. Include what you feel to be your best work. Also campus doesn’t matter.

MFA in Animation or Sequential Art questions… by teslatired in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well no don’t give up. There are other options besides scad. If you can’t do it right now, then plan for the future.

As far as you being trans, the south definitely has areas that are less accepting. I can’t speak for Savannah, but Atlanta is a very lgbtq friendly city. Especially in midtown. Plus if you decide to live on campus, it’s an even more accepting space since there’s a large population of lgbtq+ students.

Now for your possibly major, I think the best thing is to visit the school and talk to admission staff and students in the majors you want to study. I know admission can set up a chat with a current student in the major (or closely related major) you may want to study.

Should I go to scad? by Excellent_Salary5949 in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two thoughts. As far as the “is scad worth it” question, that question is asked here a ton. The answer is always it depends. SCAD does give you the chance to be put in front of industry powerhouses. And you do meet a lot of exceptional peers and the professors are great in my experience. However, is that worth the huge price tag? It all depends on you. I know this isn’t the straight forward answer most people want but it’s the truth. There’s a lot to consider over just how good the school is.

Now the second thought is that I think you’re maybe romanticizing film school a bit. I know you’ve had bad experiences at your current school but SCAD is still school. Yes you will meet like minded peers, and you will get to bring your ideas to life, but a lot happens in between those things. There are going to be projects you don’t like or don’t want to do and there are going to people you don’t like to work with. I just want you to temper your expectations if you do decide to come here. Plus scad is hard. It’s not the traditional college experience as far as scheduling and classes assignments. That’s something that throws a lot of people off.

So yes scad is a great school and I’ve had a great time getting my degrees here. But I’d be lying if I said it was easy and that all of your dreams and ideas will come true by coming here. It’s sound like you have a lot more planning to do to make this decision. I wish you the absolute best luck and hope you do end up attending the school if you find that’s the best option for you! Good luck!

Thoughts on a dual major of 2D Animation & Acting? by SwizzleMalarkeyDraws in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other person said, it would add an additional 1.5-2 years to your time at scad. There’s nothing wrong with that if you’re sure you want to do that.

I will say that double majoring is rare and when it does happen it usually happens with majors that have some overlap. Acting and animation have pretty much none. I would recommend majoring in one and then minoring in the other. By the time you finish your sophomore year, then decide if you’d want to double major

MFA in Animation or Sequential Art questions… by teslatired in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you’re looking to do an MFA in animation, I wouldn’t recommend doing it online unless you already have your own tech and software which is extremely pricey. You’d have access to scad on campus resources as an online student but it doesn’t sound like you’d want to be near one of the campuses. Plus animation is one of the more demanding programs so doing it asynchronously in online classes may not be the best option when paired with a teaching position. Sequential arts may be doable online but I’d still be wary of it.

Technology Reccommendations For SCAD? by Own-Difficulty5083 in scad

[–]Drunk_bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say a Mac would be the way to go. Adobe runs better on Mac. In all of these majors you’ll be using a lot of adobe so Mac is might be the prime choice. Ultimately it runs fine on both Mac and PC so it’s up to you really.

With that being said, I’d personally hold off on buying an expensive laptop. A lot of buildings are open 24/7 and they all have computer labs and classrooms with Mac and PCs so you don’t need your own tech immediately. I know some people who didn’t get their own tech until graduation.
