Creating Quality Animations

These are the criteria we have agreed on that we will use to assess the quality of our final product:

Our animation will be quality if:

  • we have 30 still shots for each second of footage
  • effective lighting and realistic background images and props are used
  • it has relevant dialogue that fits within each clip
  • we use authentic accents for our characters
  • the meaning of the plot has to be inferred by the audience
  • our main character shows the traits of a 'super spy'
Your task now is to complete the mindmap and then work in your teams to complete the storyboard phase of your animation.

I am looking forward to some amazing creativity!

Finish That Book!

It is great to see that you are all going great guns to get the book finished. I am suitably impressed again. Remember to spend some time on the paired reading cards and finishing the mindmap.

I will see you again on Tuesday.

Start collecting lego characters or figurines for our animations which we will do in the last week.
