They have about every style and aspect ratio you could ask for. Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357916844742666693.post-10879974723930102412013-03-26T08:48:00.002-05:002013-03-26T08:48:44.381-05:00Final Project
<br />
<div class="p1">
For the rest of the semester, you will be creating a unique and mature piece of work in class. </div>
<div class="p1">
The piece must include:</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
1. A work that has a theme or a story that is thought provoking or emotionally moving (funny, sad, etc.)<span class="s1"><br />
</span>2. A work that has good form (good ending, climax, conflict, resolution, character arc, etc.)<span class="s1"><br />
</span>3. Animation that is timed well (ease in and out, appropriate speed, not choppy)<span class="s1"><br />
</span>4. Good use of art and design: nicely drawn backgrounds, characters, props; good use of color and composition<span class="s1"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="p2">
I would like you to work up a little "pitch" for your final animation project idea, </div>
<div class="p2">
and pitch it to me and the rest of the class on Tuesday (3/26)</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
come up with a schedule of completion by thursday</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
storyboard</div>
<div class="p2">
dialogue</div>
<div class="p2">
character design</div>
<div class="p2">
film footage</div>
<div class="p2">
backgrounds</div>
<div class="p2">
audio </div>
<div class="p2">
final</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
Here some further details on the final project.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
The course culminates in the development of your own animation piece.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
This can be done individually or in groups of two or three students.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
In the case of a group project, the duration of the piece should be at least on minute.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
Other than that, remember to keep it as simple and short as possible.</div>

<ol style="background-color: #e6e6e6; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.<span id="more-658" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You gotta keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun to do as a writer. They can be very different.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Trying for theme is important, but you won’t see what the story is actually about til you’re at the end of it. Now rewrite.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You’ll feel like you’re losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Finish your story, let go even if it’s not perfect. In an ideal world you have both, but move on. Do better next time.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When you’re stuck, make a list of what WOULDN’T happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you’ve got to recognize it before you can use it.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Putting it on paper lets you start fixing it. If it stays in your head, a perfect idea, you’ll never share it with anyone.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Give your characters opinions. Passive/malleable might seem likable to you as you write, but it’s poison to the audience.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why must you tell THIS story? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That’s the heart of it.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don’t succeed? Stack the odds against.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">No work is ever wasted. If it’s not working, let go and move on – it’ll come back around to be useful later.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You have to know yourself: the difference between doing your best & fussing. Story is testing, not refining.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How d’you rearrange them into what you DO like?</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You gotta identify with your situation/characters, can’t just write ‘cool’. What would make YOU act that way?</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What’s the essence of your story? Most economical telling of it? If you know that, you can build out from there.</li>
