Animation Final Project Blog Specs (Due 5/23/17)

As a reminder, here are the specs again for your final project blog post:

Post #1: References
This post should include at least five visual or technical references used for your project, including:
• still images
• videos (found online or taken by you)
• work by other animators
• tutorials
• articles
• books
• any other online or printed resources used for reference in your project
All links should be active so I can click on them, and include descriptions as to how they were used or are relevant to your project.

Post #2: Analysis and Reflection
When your animation is complete, you will analyze your project and reflect on areas of success/growth as well as areas that need improvement. Your post should include:

• One paragraph summarizing your idea and why you chose that interpretation of the story.
• One or two paragraphs discussing your use of animation principles throughout the project. You should be able to give at least five specific examples.
• One paragraph discussing areas that you felt worked particularly well. Give specific examples and discuss areas of growth/achievement in your skills since the beginning of the course.
• One paragraph discussing areas that you feel need further improvement. Give specific examples, and discuss what steps you would take in the future to improve those skills.
• One concluding paragraph summarizing your overall thoughts and feelings about the project as a whole, how well your strategy worked, what you learned, what you might do differently next time, etc.
