Content
In this unit students create an animation project. Under staff supervision, students individually or in groups advance their ideas through development and final presentation in the form of a major animation project. This unit encourages students to engage in professional creative production tasks involving: (team) management principles, research methodology, project development, pre-production and production management on animation projects. Peer review is an important part of the professional development of creative arts practitioners. Students are expected to work toward folio standards to produce a work that could be accepted and screened in a number of industry contexts.
