Final Project: Angel Fish
Shoot at 12fps on ones or 24fps on twos (or a mix). Use a 16:9 push-in mask (or a more social-media-friendly aspect ratio if you are so inclined.) Shoot a handle on each end of your animation (about 8 frames). Animation should be in the 10-20 second range. Puppet must be airborn for at least two frames using a rig. (NOW OPTIONAL) Puppet is expected to be well-lit and in focus.
Metamorphosis Animation
Animate at 12fps on ones or 24fps on twos (or a mix of ones and twos). Include a minimum of 10 inbetween poses (sculpting in front of the camera) before placing model "B" Shoot a handle at both the beginning and end (at least 8 frames of the model sitting still before the action begins) You may animate the handle if you wish (anticipating the transformation/following-through and settling into the second model)
Replacement Animation
Shoot at 12 fps on ones or 24fps on twos. Include the minimum amount of required inbetween replacement models (10-11). Shoot at least an 8 frame handle at both the beginning and end of the animation You may animate the handle (optional) Presentation: Models are in focus, well-lit, action-safe in the composition, and the camera wasn't bumped.
Sticky-Bones Walk Cycle
Shoot at 12fps on ones or 24fps on twos (or a mix) Have your character enter the screen, "walk" to the center, perform an action, and exit the screen. Have your character be in focus, action-safe in the composition, well lit (i.e. clearly visible), don't bump the camera, and at least make an effort to conceal the blue sticky tack (it will be impossible to completely hide it, just don't let it get all over the place) A handle on both ends of the animation of the empty stage, at least half a second Note: I'm not expecting the blu tack part of this to be perfect but don't let it get out of hand.. tie-downs are coming up next! I know it can be difficult but it's a very important exercise in building dexterity, focus, and dealing with gravity.
Block Monsters
Model must be built according to the assignment parameters (i.e. wire glued into wooden blocks)
Model but be able to "stand" or otherwise hold its own weight
Blocks must be painted black, red, or yellow (or other if previously discussed with instructor) and you must make an effort not to get too much paint on the wires (some is okay, use your best judgement-- if the overall presentation is very messy I think you will have a pretty good idea).
