Animation With Audio:

Animation with Audio

For your final you will be responsible for animating in 3D (and 2D if you'd like) to the accompaniment of Music.  The animation must be timed to match the music.  This will require a bit more planning on your part in regards to choosing a fitting piece of music to the theme of the animation that you are hoping to pull off.

You may use any of the models that have been provided to you in class or model something new.  You may also do the entire animation through MASH and UI/HUD elements if you'd like.  There are plenty of good examples out there of such animations.

I want to see evidence of all of the techniques and principles of 3D animation that have been taught up to this point in the semester ie... Squash/Stretch, timing, exaggeration, primary/secondary movements, framing, camera movement, lighting animation, animated materials and the MASH network.

You will be responsible for creating a story board for this project showing the desired scenes, camera changes and estimated timing either in seconds or frames as well as a brief explanation of what is happening in each board (one sentence will suffice).  The presentation of this Storyboard must be professional looking.  

• Must have a well planned, Neatly crafted, Organized Story board with frame and scene descriptions

• Animation must include music and be timed with the soundtrack

• Must be a min of 60 seconds long at 30 fps

• Must include a min of 5 camera changes with a min of 3 different cameras

• Cameras must be animated

• Must make use of depth of field in at least one camera

• Must include at least one animated material

• Must include at least two animated light sources

• Must make use of MASH network

• Must demonstrate skills in Squash and Stretch, timing, exaggeration, secondary animations, scene framing

• Must make use of proper grouping and parenting where necessary 

• Render the frames using Maya Hardware (at minimum)

• Combine and edit your image sequences into a final animation inside After Effects or Premier Pro 

• Export that movie to a .mov, or .mp4 in H264 formatting
