Week 7 Day 1 - Tuesday, Feb 24 - Homework
1. In preparation for the final exhibition, all students should include a credit title that displays for 5 seconds in duration immediately following then end of your animation (be sure to fade out your visuals and audio levels before displaying this credit title). This should be rendered as a quicktime (h.264 format) and submitted to dropbox "Proj 1 final" no later than Friday, Feb 27 at 10am for grading.
Please use simply font for this (arial, helvetica), or Cooper Hewitt font (provided in "for each group" Dropbox folder)
2. One representative from each group will need to merge all animations from your group members with the Proj 1 intro and outro clip (in the dropbox "for each group" folder). This way you will play a single quicktime file on a loop during the exhibition.
Be sure to manage your time before Thursday afternoon to compile a single composition with the Proj 1 intro clip, all group member's animations, and Proj 1 end credits.
3. THURSDAY, Feb 26 SCHEDULE
***Since the exhibition will run from 5:00-7:30pm on Thursday, Feb 26, we will not be meeting formally during our usual class time. However each group should plan to start project setup no later than 3:30pm (for those of you with complex setups, I recommend start setting up at 2:30pm).
