Blog Supplemental Assignment for 5/15/16

Since it appears that your Pluralsight accounts have expired already, and many of you have still not completed the blog assignment, I am posting this alternate assignment for you to do instead (or in addition if you want extra credit).

This will be a traditional blog assignment, with two resources to analyze and respond to, as well as a weekly comments post. If you have already completed the Pluralsight post, you can still do this one to either replace a previous blog grade this quarter, or for extra credit. I would recommend this, as the resources this week are particularly helpful.

The first is about posing characters, but much of it can apply to actors as well:

Note that your response should include much more than a regurgitation of the bulleted list that is already there. Much, much more is covered in the video, especially regarding the Tracer character.  There should be some good discussion/opinion with this topic.

The second is about editing, mostly in relation to film, but could also apply to animation, and could be especially helpful in polishing your final project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q3eITC01Fg

This will be your last blog assignment, aside from the class evaluation (instructions to come), so make it count!
