THIS WEEK: LEICA REEL SCREENINGS & Milestone 5 due

This week we screen the Leica Reels in two separate screenings:

Screening part 1: Groups A-E - J102, Wednesday, 2-4 PM
Screening part 2: Groups F-O - J102, Friday, 1- 4 PM ; NOTE EXTRA TIME! 

Even though we have had to break the screening into two parts for practical reasons, you should plan to attend both sessions. A few of you have a schedule conflict with the Friday screening; if you emailed me about it in advance of the Hand-in deadline your film will screen in the Monday session, regardless of Mentor Group.

You will be able to give written comments on your classmate's films, which will afterwards be distributed to all students. Please be fair, honest and supportive in your comments. Make sure to bring a pen to the screening!


Milestone 5 - This is the first Milestone where the requirements differ depending on the medium you are working in. 

For 2D Films, this is a Two-part Rough Animation test: (1)  an emotional expression change and (2) full-body action analysis for one or more of your principal characters.  The main criteria are: 

• EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE: Effective communication of emotion through acting.
• ACTION ANALYSIS: Believable Weight and Balance, Originality, communication of personality



Since 3D and Stop Motion protects are still building their assets, this Milestone is a Design Package that should include (at minimum) the following: 

• color script
• location design sketches and color studies
• final character designs including costume & textures (3D) 
• lighting studies
• prop designs
