PRJ 300

Limited Scope 3D Production (5 Cr.)

Prerequisites: CG 275, PRJ 251

Concurrent Courses: ANI 300, ART 300, CG 300, FLM 201, PHY 115

Description: PRJ 300 addresses two of the more serious emotional challenges facing commercial animators: professional focus and realistic expectations. Animation is a team effort, and it requires a significant commitment of time and resources to accomplish even the most mundane tasks. During this course students will face a series of choices. First, they must choose one area of focus within 3D animation and spend the entire semester working on a project within this narrow scope. Second, they must limit themselves to a production scale allowing for extensive professional refinement. This course will introduce students to the realities of commercial art direction and quality control in conjunction with production deadlines. Students should be prepared to repetitively revisit the same material with a relentless attention to subtle detail.
