3. FINAL PROJECT

4. WHAT IS THE FINAL PROJECT?
Whatever you want… as long as…
It represents a challenge for you—new techniques used / existing skills expanded on & refined.
It is a project that will take at least 2.5weeks of hard work to finish (with possible participation points / each week)
It showcases several different types of techniques and skills that make it interesting and sophisticated.
I approve a short synopsis of your idea, giving specific details about your story, techniques, types of animation, etc. in no specific format, but at least 5-7 sentences (and will be worth 30 points).

5. IDEAS? A narrative cartoon with different shots/angles/characters
A short film that features special effects like motion tracking, explosions, chroma-keying, 3D titling, CC effects, particle systems, etc.
Kinetic typography
A movie trailer for a fake, animated or live action movie that features tons of different techniques.
Add animation, special effects, text, kinetic typography to “found footage”—old videos found online, etc. to reimagine them.
Something that can be applied to another class, a job, a resume, animations used for SVTV, etc.
