- Continue work on Lab 8: Final Project (See timeline)
Homework due on Monday, Oct 29:
- Revise storyboards based on feedback from class.
- Scan the storyboards into the computer to create the 1 minute storyreel.
See instructions
Please don't wait until Monday morning to do all of this.
- Collect as much reference material as you can and place it on enfuzion. For example:
- Take photos, download images from the web, or draw sketches of characters, objects, places that
might appear in the story. If you need to borrow a digital camera, please let me know.
- Begin to sketch out some different character gestures that are important in your story. Are
you able to convey these well visually? If not, how can you modify the look of your character
to better convey the needed emotions?
- Begin to think about the overall style of the animation. For example, what colors will be dominant?
Will the lighting be bright or dark, high contrast or low? Will the look be fairly realistic or will it be
more stylized (in what way)?

In class on Monday, Oct 29:
