Blog Assignments Due 09/30/18

Animation:
This week, instead of your usual post about an article or video, you have a special assignment based on the screening and related assignment we did this past Friday. For this post, identify and discuss at least SIX principles of animation that you observed in WALL•E. You should be detailed in your description and analysis.

Don't forget to also complete the Weekly Comments post, as usual, along with commenting on others blogs.

Animation Extra Credit:
If you want to earn up to 10 bonus points this week, feel free to do an extra post commenting (a couple paragraphs is fine for this one) on this cut of Pixar examples illustrating the importance of color in storytelling: http://nofilmschool.com/2014/09/pixar-supercut-will-remind-you-how-important-color-storytelling
