Prep Part 1 (Due today at the START of lunch)

Create a character animation based on the theme of Good vs. Evil.

By today at 12:15 have your completed team animation on the public in the team Skills folder as “(lastNamelastName)GVE.mp4”.

Prep Part 2 (Due today at 2pm)

Create and rig the character Gumby. Gumby is an American clay animation franchise, centered on the titular green clay humanoid character created and modeled by Art Clokey. Gumby stars in two television series, the feature-length Gumby: The Movie, and other media. He immediately became a famous example of stop motion clay animation and an American cultural icon, spawning tributes, parodies, and merchandising.

Animate Gumby doing a jumping jack animation. 10 seconds minimum – a lot of this will be copied and pasted in loop – that is fine. Viewport rendering is acceptable for this – we don’t care about lighting, texturing, and materials for this practice project.

By Wednesday at 2:00 have your individual animation on the public in the team Skills folder as “(lastName)FinalPractice.mp4”.

At this point, polish and practice.

Look at notes from yesterday’s practice presentation – make sure that you are hitting all that will be scored by the judges.

Leave a clean workstation – you don’t want your first impression to the judges to me “Hey look at us, we are a mess.”

Bring diversions for tomorrow while you are not presenting. You will be in the CAWD1 space, without a computer. Bring a laptop, book, board game, sketchbook, etc.
