Please be ready to work on your interactive portfolio in class on Monday. Wednesday the finals will be due with your Behance profile of work. Enjoy your weekend!

Wednesday, April 27

Please have your sketchbook and a copy of your resume for class on Wednesday. See ya then!

Monday, April 25

Please have your animation ready to present on the big screen in class. We will make pop corn and watch them all. No written summary needed. Little more laid back critique. We will talk about our final projects in class after critique. Make sure that you've exported the animation to quicktime to view on the big screen. Remember that 30 seconds is the minimum but can go longer. No shorter.

Friday, April 22

Please have your animation at a point where it can be seen. We will have one final work day on this in class and critique for the project will be on Monday. We will review the calendar and what we have left for the last four weeks of class - yes the end of the semester is nigh!

Friday, April 15 - No class

I'm out today with the flu (it struck our house this week with a mighty wind) so enjoy an additional work day on your projects. Spend it wisely and get some progress to show on Monday. Those of you out on your adventures be safe and make sure you are ready to show something on Monday.

Wednesday, April 13

Please have two storyboards for your possible 30 second animation. About 10 frames per board that tells the story of your idea. Have these in your sketchbook so you can use them to talk about your pitch. We will use Wednesday to start a workday of these in class.

Monday, April 11

Get started thinking about your animation - 30 seconds. Work on your animation with positions in space that we did in class today. We will look at these in class on Monday and talk about how to do "drawn" frames.

Friday, April 8

Please have your stop motion in a finished format that we can view in class on Friday. Be thinking about a concept for your 30 second animation.

Wednesday, April 6

Please have your GIF ready to view in class on Wednesday. Also have an idea for you stop motion and shoot the frames that you need. You will need it be at minimum 15 seconds long so plan on at least 3 times (minimum of 45 frames / photos to get that number - more if you want the motion to be smoother). We will be putting these together in class on Wednesday. Have the photos in a folder on your desktop at the start of class.

Monday, April 4

No homework over the weekend. Make sure your gig poster is up in the hallway with the right look to your art statement. Be sure to bring a camera or camera phone to class on Monday. Will need it for our animation segment that we are starting.
