You Will Have 2 Days to complete these – 2 Projects

#1 Storyboard Practice– using scenario, “grow” create an original animation storyboard. Your storyboard should be a detailed scene by scene of your prompt. What will represent “grow”? Include camera angles and helpful details for a modeler and animator to work with. Color is nice.

#2 The Animation:

Then:

  • Using the concepts from the Illusion of Life, create an original animation representing your prompt.
  • Discuss with your partner your color palette and objects you’ll need to model
  • Focus on getting good illumination of your scene
  • Select some audio for your final render
  • Your animation will be 20-25 seconds in length with a title.
  • Render in Eevee as .mp4 and place in this Google Folder with your Team Name.
  • This project is due by end of day Wednesday. If you finish early, use your time to review the Skills USA 3D Animation and Visualization contest information in preparation for Thursday.

Nav, Navs and more Navs

With your partner, create (and be creative) with the coding of at least 6 navigation bars. Could be sticky, rows, columns, however effects, etc…. They should also be optimized for mobile (480px).

Your navbar (pages do not need to link). Suggested page titles Home, Contact, Gallery, Our Story, Press
