DEVELOPMENT & PRE-PRODUCTION
Step 1) Form a group of 1-3 students and fill out the group plan form.
Share individual ideas and narrow them down to a list of your top 3. Final idea descriptions will be pitched out loud to the rest of the class for initial feedback. You should be able to describe your ideas in a few sentences.
Step 2 ) Storyboard your animation. (click here to learn more about storyboarding)
Collaborate on 1 final group storyboard for your best idea only. Blank storyboards are available from Mr. Matuch or by clicking here.
Step 3) Fill out the group clay form. Read the form instructions carefully.
Step 4 ) Build your characters - Make sure they are stable and able to be repositioned frame by frame without falling over or falling apart.
