Animate and upload the following scenes (.zip of project folder along with separate 1280×720 h.264 .mov file):
  • dive (from text, ch 4)
  • “flour sack sees the spider” from class (linked here earlier) or “coin pickup” (from text, ch 7)
  • one stylized walk cycle (such as a run, sneak, happy or sad walk, etc.  – see text and also “Animator’s Survival Guide”)
  • video reference clip from class exercise completed
  • performance piece (most weight will be given to this):  1.  Choose a sentence or so of an audio clip from a film, game, etc. or record your own.  2.  Decide the “performance” for the scene — this may consist of one to three camera shots.  3.  Create your camera or camera shots and any minimal background scenery needed.  4.  Animate the primary and secondary animation of your character for the scene performance, then proceed to finish the facial expression animation and lip-sync to the audio clip.
  • Be prepared to present/critique clips in class.
You may use any of the freely available rigs.  The masked-character would be good to test for some of these, as it will be used later in the production, but you may also use some of the rigs mentioned and linked earlier in class and on the blog. Here is a site that you may find useful for finding a fun audio clip. Be creative in whatever you choose and think of an interesting performance that relates to your audio, perhaps in an unexpected or witty way, to make your animation more fun and dynamic.
