10:10 Game / Animation Design and Competition

This Week and Next Week will be a one-off prompt. When you return from break, your final prompt/animation design challenge will be provided to your team.

While the first week was about interaction, this week is about body mechanics and synchronization. The challenge isn’t just this weeks animation – it is merging your files into one master scene.

Week 21/22 Deliverables – “The Workout”

Goal: Demonstrate mastery of Weight, Timing, and Staging by animating a coordinated fitness scene. Each of you will animate your own character doing “Exercise” as outlined below…

Pick your poison (One per team member):

The Heavy Lift: (Bench Press, Squat, or Deadlift) – Focuses on Slow-In and Slow-Out.
The Bodyweight Rep: (Push-ups or Pull-ups) – Focuses on Arcs and Resistance.
The Cardio Blast: (Jumping Jacks or Burpees) – Focuses on Exaggeration and Squash & Stretch.

Deliverable #1

Character Sheet: A single landscape document showing all characters side-by-side in a neutral T-pose or A-pose.

Characters must share a consistent art style. (You can’t have one stick figure, one hyper-realistic human, and one cartoon cat unless there is a very good reason for this)

Filename: T-pose.pdf

Deliverable #2

Specs: 1920×1080 | 24fps | Minimum 120 Frames (5 Seconds).

Environment: Must choose a “Single Location” (Gym, Beach, Garage). All characters must be rendered in the same file with consistent lighting.

Bonus (+5): Add synchronized audio (grunts, clanking weights, or high-energy gym music).

Filename: TeamName_Workout.mp4

For This week – I’d like to see your character sheet and Rough Animation of your characters. We’ll treat this first week like a daily – you show where you are. Next week I want to see final versions!
