So, first day of an animation class, first time I ever hand- animate something, and the teacher shows us a contest for a 4-6 minute animation they really want us to try for. Having animated less than a second of anything in my life, I am taking the challenge. It’s sponsored by two of our colleges around here, we work in teams, and there’s a large award for best animation.
The thing is, the reception where we get out teams is during a class of mine, we are supposed to have a pitch and Ideas to show to the other potential team mates. I’m not really sure what to put in this “presentation” having done so little animation. My artwork I guess. The teacher said that this contest was for beginners anyway.
Here’s an idea I might follow:
Make up a resume with my art training, and bring a few pics, or a small “reel” on my Windows movie Maker. It’s the only thing I’ve got!!! I know it’s not the pros stuff, but all the programs are at school. Too darn expensive.
I also want to have a list of animation ideas and stories to get us going. Whoever the us may be.
And it’s project time. I am still trying to find the best idea generation process.
