The end

Okay, final post: the project is now officially over! Stuff has been handed in, feedback has been given, and everyone is happy! :D

It's been great working together as a professional group for our first proper animation, I think we've learned a lot over the last few weeks, and it's been stressful, but definitely worth it seeing how it all came together.

Congratulations everyone and have a good summer! ^^

Almost done! Hand in requirements

The edit has been completely assembled and Lukas and Oscar are almost done with the sound effects! This means that by tomorrow afternoon the film should be 100 % complete and all ready to burn to DVD!


Good work, everyone! =)

Don't forget that for the hand in on Monday you all need to bring your individual portfolios. These need ALL your research and sketchbook work, and including for example a print screen image from the final version of the scene you've worked on is a nice thing to add.

You ALL need to write a 500 word evaluation so don't forget to add that!

I'll assemble the group portfolio (I have a portfolio we can use) since I've got all the documents and stuff that needs adding on my laptop.

YOU ALL NEED TO BE IN B124 AT 10:00 AT THE LATEST SO WE CAN HAND IN THE DVD TOGETHER.

Also, on myUCA there's a post about the feedback for the unit. It's REALLY important that everyone is in uni on the Tuesday so that we can divide the marks between us. I think they mean the following Tuesday so...

EVERYONE MUST ALSO BE IN B124 AT 10:00 ON TUESDAY THE 10TH OF MAY.

Portfolios!

Hi all, this post is just to make you all aware that we DO need BOTH an individual and a group portfolio!

All assessment requirements can be found on myUCA under the "Movement, Story & Structure" unit and on the "Unit Assessment" tab on the left.

The page states:


As a group you should submit one portfolio which serves as a record of your films development. As an individual you need to also submit a portfolio that reflects your input to the production – character designs or backgrounds, sound design or storyboarding for instance


On Tuesday we'll both be doing editing and sorting out what we need to put in the group portfolio, which will be storyboards, scripts, and basically all our development. We need a portfolio to use as our group portfolio, which should include plastic sleeves. If anyone has a portfolio to spare which looks presentable, then let me know, and bring it along to class tomorrow!

End of Easter Break

Hi all! It's now the end of Easter break and the deadline is only a week away (Monday 9th)!

Our next lesson is Tuesday the 3rd, 10:00 in B124, for pre-assessment tutorials. We are going to spend the day editing, and the rest of the week. The library have extended opening hours next weekend but we should aim for completion at Friday at the latest.

Lukas, Andrew and Amber: Bring ALL your files on Tuesday, preferably on your laptops.

Since it's a public holiday on Monday, the library will be shut, but me, Lukas and Andrew will meet up for editing (and whoever else wants to come along).

Andrew, the rough edit needs to have been done! If you bring your laptop when we meet up on Monday I can also help you masking the character in AE. I'm back in Norway now so I can send you a message with time and place.
