Web/Animation 8am – Game at 10:10
Our District is Essex Westford. You can check WCAX or our dayplan for information. I’d post an update by 6:15am if there was a delay or closing

What to wear: You should wear professional attire. Would you show up to your first day on the job in a sweatshirt and pajama bottoms? I think not.

For Competition day: Pants not shorts. A dress shirt. Polo or button down is good. Pants are required. While the SkillsUSA National competition outlines white shirt and black pants, we are allowing some leeway since the competition is primarily in house. Business Casual. Please don’t buy anything. I have SkillsUSA Polos and can give out if you don’t think you have a shirt that will pass.

Weather – if we have a weather cancellation or delay, we will host all competition on Friday, April 5th. We’ll follow the same times as the fourth. So Animation and Web teams will begin promptly at 8am.

More Notes:

Animation Teams – We’ll look at your animations as a showcase starting at 1:00pm. Eevee renders. If you are hurting for time, your 1pm showing can be a viewport render!
Web Teams – you will meet with me beginning at 1:25pm to show off your site.

If your team finishes – What to do?

If your web team is done – see me for your next practice assignment

If your animation team is done: Take a look at this little bit of information on Exaggeration (read, watch the videos). Then, download Judy Rabbit Model. It has a lot of rig controls. Explore the controls and create a short animation using exaggeration as a primary concept. Maybe Judy jumps between two obstacles, maybe Judy admires their reflection in another object, maybe Judy is strutting around town, Maybe Judy….

Render a short animation and place in Dailies (Public/CAWD2/Dailies
