Critical Performance
By the end of this course students will have demonstrated the ability 
to apply both digital drawn animation and symbol animation to create a 
finished scene. 

Learning Outcomes
1. Apply paperless workflow techniques to transform rough animation 
   into a cleaned and coloured scene.
2. Produce animation to specifically identify the kind of animation 
   with a digitally rigged character.
3. Construct multiplane layouts (digitally) with an understanding of 
   correct resolution.
4. Implement image and video standards to control quality.
5. Design a planned camera move with the pre-created layouts while    
maintaining quality in the camera view.

Students demonstrate their learning in the following ways:

Assignment #1:  Cleanup and colour				                      10%	
Assignment #2:  Symbols and Tweens				                     10%
Assignment #3:  Cutout character				                             10%
Assignment #4:  Paperless Scene				                             15%
Assignment #5:  Multi-Plan Pan					                     10%
Assignment #6:  Composite scene with animation and layouts	     35%
Assignment #7:  Export: Demo reel				                            10%
Total                                                                                                        100%

Late Policy for all courses in the program: 

All assignments are due within the first 15 minutes after the start of class on the due date.
Late projects, submitted after the first 15 minutes of the start of class will receive a 20% 
grade reduction. Late projects submitted the following week will receive a 30% grade 
reduction. There will be no submission of work after the last day of semester unless 
arrangementshave been made and documented by the professor. 

Work that is more than one week late will not be graded unless a prior arrangement has 
been made with the professor; the arrangement must be documented on email or a memo, 
with the new due date identified. There will be no resubmission of work unless, under 
exceptional circumstances, this has been agreed to or suggested by the professor. Again, 
a hard copy of the agreement is necessary. 

If there is a valid reason for the late project, the student must email the professor at least 
3 days before the due date.  If the reason is deemed to be valid, there will be no late 
penalty. A new due date with be set by the instructor. 

The basic late policy as laid out above will be followed, except in the 
instance that an instructor requires a variation in policy. That variation will
be provided to the student in writing as part of the actual assignment, which will be 
handed out by the instructor.
