Thursday’s – Deliverables

Deliverables to our GAWD class:

Each team will share their final animation followed by the “Story” of how the team completed the animation challenge.

Format:  Teams will present to the GAWD program in the GAWD1 classroom. 

  • Start with playing your final animation (the one that went to the judge).  We’ll watch it twice.
  • Share the “story” of your team.  This can be done as a video or slide deck or image montage.

The goal here isn’t a dry “we did this” report. It’s a “Making Of” featurette. Whether you choose a video, slide deck, or montage, interviews, we want to know who did what, what was challenging, what your team is most proud of, the evolution process through some before / after shots, a high-resolution still image of the team’s favorite frame or sequence of your team’s favorite moments, etc…. You get the idea – this should be the fun part.

Make your story a “glow up” for your team.
