ANIMATED SHORTMelissa Wiley Final Project Proposal
CREATING AN ANIMATED SHORT Currently I am interested in modeling
or animating. My portfolio has some models, but no
simple character animations. For my final project I will create an
animated short focusing on the animation of a simple character.
JUNK YARD DAWG This is a animated short about a junk
yard dog, literally made from junk. Story begins in a junk yard, parts scattered around. When a sudden explosion occurs, the scraps form a animated scrap metal dog. The short shows character animation, using a simple model so focus can be animating the inanimate.
SCRAP BIKE PARTS
JUNK YARD DOG FROM SCRAP BIKE
SCENE: JUNKYARD
SUDDEN EXPLOSION
THE BICYCLE SCRAPS PIECE TOGETHER AND CREATE A JUNK YARD DOG!
DOG SLOWLY WOBBLES UP. HE HAS VERY STIFF LEGS.
DOG SHAKES HEAD FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
AS HE FINDS HIS FEET… HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR…
LANDING IN A PILE OF PARTS!
SLOWLY HE STRAIGHTENS.
AND DOES WHAT DOGS DO, RELIEVES HIMSELF OF EXCESS BREAK FLUID.
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Completed work
Storyboard finalized. Completed movie approximately 30 seconds long. Scene file should be modeled and textured. Lighting should be accurate. Model should be complete and textured. Model should be rigged and animated. Movie should be rendered and complete as a viewable
movie file. Movie file, storyboard, concept sketches should be
placed together in a form so it can be presented on a website.
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Animation should give the essence of a scrap
metal dog. Textures should can be cartoon quality, but
should look like what they are, scrap pieces. Scene should be balanced artistically and
inviting to look upon. Lighting should be clear. Model and rig while simple, should create
interesting shapes and be realistic for the character that it is.
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Movie should be short, as it is an
animated short, but still have a beginning, middle, and end.
End result should show abilities to animate, model, texture and light a scene.
However, more importantly it should show ability to animate a simple character.
Should be an end piece that I would put in my portfolio.
