Young Park Feature (ER) Writing/Editing/Research Launch | AIA May

[Airtable Automations]

Hi Phoebe, Thanks so much for taking on the task of Writing/Editing/Research for Young Park Feature (ER)! The basic prompt: Young Park from Park Star Media would like to do a feature on their studio and their upcoming projects in a social media post like the one the Creative team made for Alex Myung. There is a lot of information we were given, but do not feel the need to squeeze all this content into the post. All this information is available for you to parse through and select what elements feel most relevant for our community to know about. What's most important here is that you properly introduce this studio and some of its IPs to our community. Deliverables for the first round of reviews: Create a list of questions for Young Park (studio manager) that will give him the opportunity to elaborate on the studio's background and mission statement, and any insight on the IPs you choose to feature. The first pass of questions is due 6/14, but on 5/29, send in whatever questions you have at that point (Rebe will leave notes). STUDIO INFO: Park Star Media is an animation + toy studio based in LA and Seoul. They often recruit and work exclusively with AAPI artists and animators. They've created a K-cartoon pilot with Cartoon Network Asia and a short-form series with WildBrain. Here are some projects they have produced and worked on: https://www.parkstarmedia.com/press Most recently, they've teamed up with a UK studio to co-develop/produce a multicultural preschool series featuring a cast of diverse Asian American characters. They've been developing several new animation projects that they'll be pitching at Mipcom and Annecy. Moonfall Springs (you'll have to scroll down a bit in this article to find it): Development for animation + webtoon Uncle Mermaid (based on their award-winning Korean art toy): Made youtube series in partnership with KOCCA (Korean govt agency that funds creative projects) Ancho-V: company's first original project Timeline: First pass: 2023-06-07 at 11:59 PT Second pass: 2023-06-14 at 11:59 PT We’d love for these to be finalized by **** File Name: | AIA Creative Team Here is a link to our standard Researcher/Writer Launch Guide. Please keep us updated via email. Reply all to this message, rather than starting a new thread and upload image attachments through email as well as sending a Google Drive. Let us know if you have any questions! Best, Rebe

Hi Rebe,

This is Phoebe. I am currently going over the Young Park feature. I just wanted to clarify which stage the Young Park Feature is at? I see from the Doc that there are still some writings needed to fill out the post. Should I be doing this particular part first? Thank you!

Regards,

Phoebe

Hi Josephine and Ashley,

This is Phoebe. Just wondering what the deliverables are for the first deadline for Young Park launch? Thank you!

Phoebe

Hi Phoebe,

Sorry for the late reply! I believe the deliverables would be to address all the comments Rebe left on the draft? This project is going through the revisions stage, so if you could finish a new revised draft as your deliverable, that would be great!

I will double check to make sure this is correct—I'll follow up here if it isn't, but if you don't hear anything else, then a revised draft answering Rebe's comments on the document should suffice.

Let me know if you have any questions! :)

Best,

Ash

[phoebe pang]

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for the follow up! I was wondering if I can get editing rights for the Young Park Feature doc? Currently I can’t put the revisions on the doc. 

Thank you, 

Phoebe

Hi Phoebe,

Sorry for the wait. I've made a copy of the document in the Team Google Drive that you should be able to edit. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or have any problems editing the new document.

Hi Phoebe,

Thank you so much for your hard work! As per usual, we'll get feedback sent out by this weekend.

Best,

Josephine Ota

[Josephine Ota]

Hi again Phoebe!

Thank you for all the hard work you put into the Young Park Feature. Feedback for Review 1 is in, so you're all set to start addressing things!

In terms of next steps for Review 2, let's start moving things over into Canva to make sure everything fits.

That's all for now! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or if you're running low on bandwidth. I know you're doing a lot for a couple of projects and I don't want to see you burnt out.

Best,

Josephine Ota

[phoebe pang]

Hi Josephine and Ashley,

I have moved over Young Park Feature's writings to Canva for the Review 2 deliverables. I feel that some slides are a bit too crowded, such as Slide 4 or Slide 8. But, let me know what everyone thinks! Thank you!

Regards,

Phoebe

Awesome job! And it's no big deal. That's what first drafts are for.

As usual, we'll get back to you with comments by the end of the week.

Hi Phoebe!

Hope you're having a great weekend. Feedback from Review 2 is in and you're free to start addressing comments. The next deadline will be November 8th unless you have a major update for our admin meeting next week.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or need to update us on your bandwidth. Gotta make sure our team is taken care of ;)

Hi Josephine,

Thanks for the feedback! I have attached the canva link here. 

I have a question regarding the inclusion of certain illustrations. Since the initial research document lacked some illustrations, I have incorporated some illustrations from the Park Star Media website. Is this fine? Thank you!

Best,

Phoebe

Hi Phoebe,

Thanks so much for submitting this week's draft of the Young Park Feature. We will get back to you over the weekend with feedback! 

As for your question about illustrations, I'll ask for assets from Park Star Media that you can use. For now, you can leave the ones you've found as placeholders until I get back to you! 

Thank you!

Best,
Ashley

[Ashley Whang]

Hi Phoebe,

Thank you so much for your hard work for the first draft of the Young Park Feature! 

Here's some general feedback from the team:

1. Take a look at the graphic design guide here to help tackle some of the feedback in Canva!
2. Overall, some of the bgs and graphics could be improved! While we wait on assets from Park Star Media, feel free to use the decorative AIA assets and reference industry interviews such as:
1. George Shaw Interview
2. Shreya Devarakonda Interview
3. Alex Myung Interview
3. Including photos of Young in slides will be helpful!

The next deadline for the Young Park Feature is Wednesday 11/15 (11:59 PM PT)!

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much!

Regards,

Ashley

[Ashley Whang]

Hi Phoebe,

I hope you had a great weekend! As you could see in the thread with Young Park, we've received a shared folder with the assets. Please use these for your next draft!

If you'd like to request something specific that's not shared by Young, please let me know. I'll ask for it on your behalf in the other thread.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Otherwise, it looks like we're set on additional assets!

Sincerely,

Ashley 

[phoebe pang]

Hi Ashley,

Thank you so much! I do have a specific request, would you mind asking Young Park for a headshot? I want to add a headshot to the title page since it is a feature focused on him. Thank you! 

Regards,

Phoebe 

[Ashley Whang]

Hi Phoebe,

Awesome! We just got photos of Young. Hopefully one of these will be useful for you!

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best,

Ash

[phoebe pang]

Hi Ashley,

Thank you so much! The deliverables for Review 2 are here . Let me know the changes.

Hi Phoebe,

Incredible work! Just a quick note - I forgot to clarify that we're trying to use original assets from Young only, so we're going to use the other photo of him. I've already replaced it for now. 

We'll get back to you over the weekend with feedback. Thank you!

Best,

[Ashley Whang]

Hello Phoebe,

Great job with the draft so far! Here is some general feedback from the team:

1. Page 1 - The title page is the first thing folks see, so we'd love to see another iteration that makes it pop more! For graphic and text layout references, feel free to look at the title pages of other interviews and features on instagram. (Maybe making Young's photo bigger? Bolder text? Etc.)
2. Page 2 - Could we get a more dynamic layout? Maybe interchange the text and photo placement instead of just having it top down?
3. Page 3 - It's not clear that this is coming from Young Park. Could we try changing the header to what JoJo suggested (since we don't have another photo of him)?
4. Page 4 - The text feels a bit crowded! Can we switch up the layout to be more dynamic as well? Feel free to separate out the paragraphs in fun ways!

There are also some other comments, but these are the parts of the post we'd like to give the most attention to! 

If you could submit your next draft by Monday 11/27 12 PM PT, that would be amazing.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great Thanksgiving break!

Sincerely,

Ashley

[phoebe pang]

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for the feedback. Attached is the Canva link for the third review. Let me know if there are any changes! Thank you!

Phoebe

Hello Phoebe,

So sorry about the late response—end of the year is getting crazy for me!

Amazing job with the draft! Some general feedback from the team mostly includes ones about the text (layout and readability). 

As for deadlines, we won't have another review until 2024 kicks off since AIA is on break from December 16th to January 7th. With that said, please address the feedback at your own pace (and enjoy your break)!

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you so much!  

Best,

Ashley

[Rebe Chen]

Hey Phoebe!

Happy year of the dragon 🐉🐉🐉

I'm jumping in for Ashley while she's OOO. I saw your name signed up on the Google Docs sheet and already in Airtable for this project, so I guess we keep chugging along! Just looked at the Canva page for this project and it looks so good! It's so nearly done, you just need to address a few more admin suggestions made in Canva. The first deadline for this month will be on January 14 by 11:59 PM PST. Let me know if you have any questions!

Overall, A+ graphic appeal, very enticing and would grab my attention if I saw it while scrolling through Instagram (which will happen anyways). Woot woot!

Cheers 🍻,

Thanks Phoebe!

Pages 1, 4, 7, 10, and 12 are pretty successful design wise, as is, it's the others that aren't hitting the same visual language as much.
