I hope everyone is doing well! I regret to inform everyone that classes are cancelled today. Please refer to your MCA email for reasons why, and what you should do in the meantime. Your class's part of that message is below. I look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday!
But what does this mean for you? Well, consider today a workday. In each of my respective classes, you are working on a much larger project. This gives you time to refine what you currently have and start working on much more improved artwork!
Below are strategies for you to stay caught up and move forward in each class!
AN225: Continue working on your film. Post your schedule and any sequences you have completed to the "2_20 animation and schedules" folder. I'll review the schedule for completing your film, and give you feedback on your work! Ideally, this will be the start of the second week of animation production for some of you, and week 2.5 for others.
By weeks end, everyone wants to have 12 seconds to half of their film animated! Remember to focus primarily on having STRONG key animation. On Wednesday, we'll talk anticipation, squash and stretch, as well as appeal! I have an example for you that should help you find new strategies for animating characters to the best of your ability!

Note: We will start talking audio soon, so please start making a list of sounds and sound effects you think you will need for your film! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions at all about developing your animation!

For anyone who is interested in staying caught up and receiving feedback, post snapshots, videos, or samples of what you're working on to the server, email me questions, and I'll be happy to review it and send you an email today. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday!
For anyone who has content they want me to review for the career fair, please post it to the server, and send me an email letting me know what to look for.
For those of you that have scheduled a meeting with me on Monday, that meeting is now cancelled. I'll work some things around to hold meetings during lunch Wednesday as well as my office hours to make up for it. Message me if you need to schedule for another time.
For those of you that would've come to class without your homework today, consider yourself extremely lucky. ;) Use this amazing gift to catch up, write yourself a note to remember all of your art, designs, and materials, and be willing to work extra hard to iron our any wrinkles in your own personal art and production process! We have 3 weeks before spring break, a week and a half before Midterms, and a really good opportunity to finish the first half of the semester in a really good spot. Happy Monday, and work hard, everyone!
Good luck!
