165 Students

165 Students: 
Start thinking about the final quiz which will be given on the final night of class during finals week. You will need to be able to draw out examples of the 12 principles of animation as put forth by Frank and Ollie.

You can also check out the links to other blogs 

that talk about the 12 principles. Look along the 

right hand margin of this blog for the heading, 

"12 Principles of Animation"

If you look in the class folder under handouts, 

visual descriptions have been provided.

Tonight 4/21/15

Dear class,

Tonight the 165 students should be working on the walk/jump animations. They are due on Thursday April 23. A complete project will include:

A. Title card 3 sec.

B. Scene 1, your character walks in place through a rotating background.

C. Scene 2, you begin the scene with the object that you intend to jump over at the center of the stage. D. You enter from off stage, walk up to the object, look at it, turn your head and look at the audience, react to it, turn back, jump over object, walk off. (Scene 2 should be as long as it needs to be in order to accomplish the tasks.) 

E. End card 3 Sec.

F. Submit as a .mov file by the end of class.

166 students, we will look at your work with the watercolor homework and I will check the progress of your storyboard animations.

165 Students:
Continue working on the Walk/Jump project.
Project is due at end of class on Thursday April 23.

166 Students:
At this point your main character, character pages, supporting character line up page, backgrounds and thumbnails are done. So its time to take out the watercolors. I have 3 projects to give you,
the first two focus on color mixing and the third requires you to begin adding color to faces. I will Demonstrate the steps in class.

 

Tonight in class

165 Students:
1. The Jump portion of the project should be done by the end of the night.
2. We will look at your animations as works in progress at 9pm.
3. If you have not shown your 100 heads please do so.
4. If you have shown your 100 heads please ink 12 of the heads, focus on line quality.
(If you have used a lot of texture/hair, this is the time to erase it). 
5. Please turn in the scans from the Monster Draw a folder has been set up in the class folder.

166 Students:
1. If you have not turned your Mid Term project, please turn in what you have, its better to get partial credit than no credit.
2. For those of you that turned in your Mid Term projects, I will be speaking to each of you about your work.
3. A draft (meaning without special effects) of your story board animatic is due at the end of class tonight. Experiment with the timing and publish as a mov. file.
