DDA 643, Digital Animation Studio
This is approximately the half-way point of your first project. This means you should be approximately half-way finished. For this critique, therefore, you should bring in materials to show:
Conceptual development
Design development
Story development
Technical testing
Animation
This means that at a minimum you should have drawings or imagery showing the look of your animation, a storyboard and preliminary animatic, notes about soundtrack, and some animation. Optionally you may also have a script or dialogue outline and a preliminary soundtrack.
Put files on your blog. (For large movie files, try putting the movie on vimeo and linking to it from your blog.)
Also put the same files onto a DVD
or CD disk that you will hand in to me.
I will give you a written, non-graded, assessment based on your work so far.
