Critical Performance
By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the 
ability to utilize 2D digital animation concepts and methodologies.

Learning Outcomes
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated 
the ability to:

1. Apply the basic components of 2D animation, 2D production practice 
   and work flow procedures to animation pieces.

2. Compare vector, raster and hybrid 2D digital animation processes.
  
3. Incorporate appropriate traditional and digital production 
   terminology to the 2D animation process.

4. Construct a 2D animated sequence that employs overlays, underlays, 
   props and cycle animations.

5. Construct a leica reel with animatics.

6. Explain z-axis space and its application and implementation in 
   camera setup, and in scene lighting, for 2D animation.

7. Discuss processes (methodologies) inherent in typical and classic 
   2D animated sequences.

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 arrangements
have 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.
