First, review the following document: A System for Planning and Timing Animation. http://www.animationmeat.com/pdf/featureanimation/Glen_Keane_Animation.pdf
To produce a animation that is a minimum of 6 seconds to a maximum of 12 seconds.
Details:
Character Animation deals with the creation and animation of characters used in storytelling. They may take the shape of any object in response to the “Project Challenge”. The “main characters” should be the focus of the production. There are no limitations as to the realism of the characters; however, the ability of characters to express emotion is a major component of the assignment. Please apply the principles of animation to your work.
Upon completion of the animation, you will submit
a digital storyboards,
model sheets (if appropriate) and
animation as a video file.
You will demonstrate drawing skills and captivate the audience with a good story.
You may use your own sound effects.
