Week 7: Spring Break on the horizon, and mid-semester crits just after!
Mid-semester crits represent the moment when keen outside eyes (professors and professionals) come in to our class to have a look at pieces that have full, rough animation and sound.
This is your chance to see your piece as a whole, timed out more precisely, and with the feeling of life that movement brings to what was previously just a series of storyboard stills set to a timeline. So catch up over the break and come into crits after having taken a deep breath and having stepped back from the animation grindstone to see what shape your vision is taking.
The best approach to a crit is to behave as an interested observer, listening to the comments made, noting them, and asking questions to find out why people make the comments they do, and then digesting that information. Find out whether your ideas are coming through, and listen to suggestions as to how make things clearer.
After this, it's your choice to decide what to do.
On the plate after this:
• clean up
• color
• compositing
• sound
• editing
Upward and onward!
