Notes

  • Everyone enjoy your long weekend, get out and play off computer when you can.
  • Assume that your CAWD work is ready to present at 9:40 when you start our weeks. Finish today, finish at home, finish yesterday, however you have to get it done.

10:25 Fire Drill Location – the start of our break

When we have a Fire Drill (or a fire) we are going to follow a consistent procedure:

  • Go out that door (look where I am pointing).
  • Walk out to the left, and then out the door on the right.
  • We have to rally at our evacuation point where I have to take attendance. The school will collect the attendance from me outside, so if you are flirting, fighting, in the bathroom, etc – you get marked as “UNV” and the school starts contacting your family and opening up a can of worms. It is all about duty of care. We legally have to keep you alive while at school. Please stick together when we do these activities, lets be efficient.

Today we practice the procedure, and then walk around the outside to our normal break location for the remainder of the time. I will take attendance outside to mimic the workflow.

Grab drinks / grab frisbees / tennis balls as we walk out.

10:35 Morning Outside Break (10 minutes)

  • 10 Minutes outside / just out our door.
  • Throw the Frisbee, toss the football, kick the kickball, or just get some Vitamin D and not be at a desk.

11:35 Week 3 Group Chess Project

Wednesday through Friday this week are going to be working in small groups creating a Chess set in Blender. This is a group grade. The projects will be turned in by the Creative Director during our presentations (show up in their folder) next Monday.

The Creative Directors are to be in contact with all team members throughout production time this week. 

Remember that one of the 3 renders must include a low Depth of Field effect! (This will be done by the CD’s)

All project specifics are in the Dayplans where the project was assigned. For the Group Chess project it would be Wednesday.
