WEEK 4: Game Project Development DESN 3010: Assignment 1 Due Today, Assignment 2 starts

Your first assignment is due today at the start of class. We'll have a one-on-one critique to discuss the outcome and make a plan for your next milestone.

Remember that your project must be approved by me before proceeding. Please dig right into the planning process as soon as you can.

Here's the level of what's coming out of animation programs of just 8 months:

Spend some time looking at demo reels from around the world on Vimeo. You need to reach that target and that requires focus. Animation is your focus. Forget about all else for this class and dig into the details. Plan, test, and build your scene in layers and along the way seek feedback - it's what your tuition pays for :)

Please upload your progress to Trello's Milestone 2 board.  Use handbrake or adobe media encoder to compress files under the 10mb file upload limit.
