Project 6: Ransom Note

Part 1 Due:  Nov 29 (Week 10)
Part 2 Due: Dec 13 (Week 11)


Description:
Using all techniques we learned in class, create a 30 second animation of a ransom note to the soundtrack of your choice. The ransom note can be anything from an "I stole your cat" letter to a metaphysical concept. It does not have to be a literal "note" but rather a message in animated form. Go wild with it!

You must have: 
3d layers/camera/lights
AE animated text (technique of your choice)

Part 1:
Create 3 – 5 style frames (submit as a pdf)

A Style Frame is a visual guide to the way your final animation will look. Unlike a storyboard, which lays out the animation from beginning to end, style frames illustrate the look and feel (colors, lighting, visual elements, etc) without locking in specific shots. This exercise will help you brainstorm the effects you might end up using before you get into After Effects.

Use Photoshop or Illustratror—NOT After Effects.

Below are links to some style frame references:
