Notes

Friday!
Literally 10 days until Thanksgiving vacation. With Covid being a bit more in the rear view mirror – would anyone be interested in a Game Day?
- Fridays before vacations
- If you are 100% caught up you can take part. If not you get caught up, I grade on the fly, and when you ARE caught up you can take part
- Food / Tarp / Chilling / Games / Movies / Cards / Magic / Drawing / Socializing
- Are you good at making something? Is your family good at baking something special? This is student / family driven.
- Haven’t had one since 2019….. but they are pretty neat:
  - Example
  - More
  - MORE
  - MOAR
  - MEOR
  - Too much food
- Get out of your 7/8 classes if you can (ask nicely)
- Room opens up first thing (7:30?) for drop off and early chilling. NO EATING UNTIL AFTER ATTENDANCE. (that is me in my yelling voice)

9:40 Attendance and Article

9:45 “Oli” Character Concept Art

We are going to be designing our second floating droid this morninng – Oli. This will go from 9:45 – 10:35.

You will create 3 orthographic views of your droid similar to what I did for Andy above – but through sketching. Top / Side / Front.

This is the concept art for this second character to be animated with Andy next week. In this part of the project you are the Concept Artist / Character Designer.

Next week you will be modeling someone else’s character – similar to the way we work in industry. One person isn’t in charge of the entire animation pipeline. This project will get us practicing working off of someone else’s concept art.

General character rules:

Follow the style of Andy in terms of construction and detail. Separate pieces. Think mechanical. Not meatballs / organic.
Not metaballs.
Floating
Create arms and legs, but also some sort of detail on the head to use to animate emotion and expression. Antenna, Hat, etc.

I need this handed to me by 10:35 from everyone.

Follow along as I read; lose yourself in a story for a bit.
One of the strengths of this book are “beautifully rendered scenes“. You will be creating art based off of the text. Listen attentively.
