This week: Finalizing our Preproduction and Moving on to Animation!

From this point, everyone will adopt a different timeline for their respective projects! We will go through a check making sure people have the following contents:

• Quality Character Design Samples
• A Great Animatic
• Clear Storyboards
• and Interesting Environments!

Don't start animating until you have each of these things! The development process is something you need to learn and understand fully! I will do my best to communicate the nuances of animation production to you in the following days!

For Wednesday:  Bring in any reference materials you need to either

A: draw environment drawings

or

B: Start animating your characters!

Also, Check out the AN225 Server folder. I have dropped in a video file called "The Making of Little Witch Academia."  The movie is 45 minutes. Watch it so we can talk about it next class!

Notes from class today:
Today, we did a storytelling exercise with a card game called Joking Hazard, where you could pull cards from your hand to make interesting stories!  This game, as we mentioned today and we will show Wednesday, is a great way to see what the animation process is like!
