Midterms Checklist For AN200

Upcoming Dates:

Monday, October 1st: Bring to class a video of your first walk cycle, completed.  Also bring sketched out ideas for your next character walk cycle!  Your midterm project will be to create a walk cycle with PERSONALITY! Give your character an interesting walk! For this project, you are allowed to design a character to animate. I will give notes on character design for animation next week. Check out the rest of the "Walks" section of Animator's Survival Kit for ideas on constructing interesting walks!

Friday, October 5, 2018: Turn-In for midterms assignments. (All assignments due before 4:30 PM. Key Animation for your walk cycle with personality should be completed by this date!)

Be sure to CONVERT ALL VIDEOS! Midterm grading will be determined by the following:

1: Clarity of Action and Storytelling (At a glance, do we understand the story of your sequence?)

2: Composition/Spacing/Staging of Action: (Are you using the camera frame to the best of its ability?)

3: Timing of Action: (Are your sequences well-paced?)

4: Craftsmanship: (Clean lines? Clear lineart?)
