Homework for Monday, 9/26/2016

Next week is the start of the animation section of class! I need you to complete the following for a grade by Monday. 

#1 FINISH DESIGNING EVERYTHING!
At this point, each of you should have a full preproduction package for your film. This weekend:

• SCAN AND COLOR YOUR CHARACTER AND ENVIRONMENT DESIGNS!
• Make all changes to your storyboards and animatic. Label every scene and section of your storyboard accordingly.
• Export your storyboards from Toon Boom Storyboard Pro.
• Produce FINISHED, COMPLETE, PROFESSIONAL environment designs for your story, with color!
• Produce FINISHED, COMPLETE, PROFESSIONAL model sheets of your characters with color!
• DO NOT LEAVE THESE MODEL SHEETS IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK!
• Export your Animatic from Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and bring it to class ready to turn in!
• Pick six(6) seconds of your animation to start with next week.  Pick a section in the middle of your story so you have time to work on your craftsmanship.
• Bring your StoryboardPro files to class. We will open them up and create scenes based on the work you have.

#2 REVIEW "The Making of Wakfu (located on the server)"

• This video contains a TON of useful information of the professional animation process. I want you to watch this video (if you have not already) and make notes. Be prepared to talk about this film in class on MONDAY!

#3 Continue improving your ENVIRONMENT DESIGNS!

• We are going to spend a lot of time this semester making the best environments we possibly can. I want you to continue doing research on them and  present to me ideas you have for using your environments further on Monday.

#4 Film ACTING reference of the six seconds you want to animate.

Your reference can go over six(6) seconds. But from now on, you will show me reference footage of the sequence you are about to animate. We will make sure you have quality reference to work with!
