<p>Hehe, brain-picking’s not a problem. </p>
<p>First, question, did you have Tuesday or Wednesday lecture? (Assuming you took it this past semester, Fall 2010). Just curious, haha 
I LOVE DREW CASPER! </p>
<p>Let’s see… for my creative sample, I sent in a ~3 minute video clip of a sequence from Band of Brothers (which originally had no music) that I wrote the score for just for fun. </p>
<p>I can’t remember exactly, but I’m a pretty “multi-disciplinary” person (sounds like you would be, too, if you’re interested in both of those), so I had it divided in to sections - film, music, theatre - and subsections as necessary (music > groups, compositions, arrangements), and then listed the relevant works below each category with title, date of creation, position in creation (e.g. director, composer, blah), length, tools used to create (software), then a small description of the work/objective of the work. I tried to find the file just now, but I think I deleted it when I formatted over the summer =\ If I do find it, I’ll let you know so you can see it if you’d like.</p>
<p>As for what I did to make it stand out… well, keep in mind this is purely a guess/opinion things since I dunno how my app actually stood out or if it actually did (o.o), but with me, at least, what I tried to push was my “multi-disciplinary” aspect, like, the fact that I’m, as I said in my essay, a “hybrid of technology and the arts”. I displayed clear knowledge of both aspects of video games using appropriate jargon (from Phong shading to storyboarding). I also had an appropriate artsy response about getting third at a singing competition for the one that asks you to describe an emotional experience.</p>
<p>And oh. Not gonna lie, I had killer recs from two composers in the industry, which I def think helped. The saddest part is that I thought I was special until I found out one of my friends in the major got a rec from the head of Westwood/Petroglyph, which shut my pseudo-ego up nicely. o.o</p>
<p>Good luck with your application, and feel free to lemme know if you have any further questions. Hope to see you in the SCA family next fall!</p>
