- Game Day Quiz on Friday!
- Respect.
- I am going to accept “The Challenge” Pre-packet production presentations today for full credit.
- How trees really grow.
- Get this missing assignments in – only 1 letter grade off if you get them in today. Anyone missing work is required to stay for the Wednesday Afternoon Cawd Homework Club.
- Tomorrow morning we are going to go over low depth-of-field rendering – so don’t do your close ups with this effect until you learn it tomorrow!
- If you take your pin pre-production to work off today, please put back by end of day on the table near Cawd lounge just as it is now.
- I am going to call people over to meet with me to go over Pre-production packets this morning. Until I call you over assume you are green-lit to start producing. Get to it, hopefully we will just have some minor variations in our pre-production meeting.

9:45 “The Challenge” Animation Production
This week we will create the first draft of our “The Challenge” character animation. We will have have:
- 2 hours this morning
- 30 minutes Wednesday
- 2 hours on Thursday
That will give you 4.5 hours this week. Before you walk out the door Friday you must:
- Have a complete 1st draft of your animation complete. This includes all shots from your Storyboard.
- Have sound design done – the 1st draft must include audio.
- Be ready to present your 1st draft next Tuesday at 9:45 for the first round of Constructive Criticism.
If this means turning down samples for renders – ok.
Rendering shots at break, lunch, English, when you go to the bathroom – ok.
If you have to leave your machine on overnight to render you must ask me first. I don’t want computers left on willy-nilly and wasting power. I am almost guaranteed to say yes.
This is your brand, this project is driven by you, this project is 85% of your Midterm.
At a minimum render out at 720p…but if you would like to render larger (1080p) this is fine so long as the work gets done.
Place your final draft in your “week_15” folder called “(lastname)DraftAnimation.mp4”.
