Project 4.0 {Dynamic.Elements}

Beyond modeling, rendering and materials it is also possible to create animations that are both illustrative and performative. When creating animations it is important to consider the speed, scale, and relationship of moving parts and changing conditions. It is possible to mimic or exaggerate change in order to illustrate specific conditions.

You will create a single animation that will explore the topic of construction and/or deconstruction. The animation should interpret the terms construction and deconstruction in a creative narrative. The animation will be 30 seconds long at 30fps (900 frames) @ 480×270 pixels.

{Animation 001} The animation will use one of the provided student models with your own materials lit by a daylight system. The camera can move during the animation but pay specific attention to the composition of the scene allowing the viewer to have an interesting view of the reconstruction and/or deconstruction process. You should incorporate your knowledge of modeling, materials, and lighting to develop a compelling animated scene. You can create a base for your model in order to allow it to cast shadows, this can be an infinite plane to the horizon or another pedestal of your choice, the base is optional.

Your animation will be assessed on creativity, clarity, attention to detail, and quality of craftsmanship.
