ROUGH CUT

Deadline Friday 11th January

FINAL UNIT DEADLINE

Deadline Friday 18th January

Brief

Your task is to come up with an original idea for a sketch show based on original characters of your own creation.

You will put the characters into three different scenes, which won't necessarily be edited together in that order - the scenes/sketches must be self-contained.

At the end of each scene a red ball must be thrown away, it must also appear at some point in the scene so that the scene can be edited to another one.

You need to use a range of animation styles and can choose between:

Animate cel 
After Effects
Stop motion / Dragonframe
Hand drawn
Maya
Cut out

Each scene will be a minimum of 5 seconds. You will need to work with someone else on the stop motion one, if that's your choice - work on their 5 seconds and they work on yours.

You will need to take responsibility for booking any equipment that you need.

I didn't find that the After Effects files opened, but to start the project, open After Effects, go to New, then new composition, and choose default settings.

Create a 'block' by going to Layer (at the top), changing it's size and colour.

Do the webinar to learn the basics of animation in AE.
