You will present on crit day from a single presentation blog post comprising your 'Art Of' publication, animatic and Maya pre-viz. Your presentation should follow this order:
- Art Of
- Animatic
- Maya Pre-viz.
Important: please note, your From Script To Screen crit starts at 10am sharp - at which point the doors will close. The order in which you'll be presenting your work will be randomised, which means any one of you may be presenting first!
Please note - the crit venue is to be confirmed; more details to follow.
If circumstances beyond your control* prevent you from attending on time, you must contact Gayle Baldwin before 10am. Students should seek to arrive in advance of the start time to ensure they are prepared. Your project management and professionalism count. Please prepare for your crit as you would for an interview or pitch. For some 'Rough Guide' style advice re. the stuff of engaging crit presentations, please go here.
And finally...
And a note to any 2nd/3rd years - your input on crit day, as always, is welcome.
*But not issues in regard to last-minute technical problems that reflect poor project management. Thursday is your deadline, not Friday.
Please use your social networks to ensure everyone has seen this information. Many thanks.
