	________________________________________________________________________ Assigned: Feb 8 Due: Mar 14 Turnin: Playblast of your shot with the correct camera(s) in: \\preproduction\student_data\cse459_wi05\_Project_Turnin\Project_5\ Firstname_Lastinitial ________________________________________________________________________ Clarifications for Project 5 (Motion) ******Shot Scene Planning Sheet -- For the Shot Scene Planning Sheet (which is a bit more involved than the Action Planning sheets), include text descriptions for your shot, thumbnail drawings (from acting yourself and your video reference), action breakdowns including line of action, motion paths and force lines (for difficult or unusual actions or as necessary). I've left a sample shot planning sheet on the window/door to my office in 332. This is just a sample – yours doesn't need to be identical. If you plan to change anything from the animatics you'll be provided, just indicate on the planning sheets what you are doing...and why. Remember, we're looking for great acting here. We want to develop the style for the movie as early as we can. The larger and more accurate the drawings are, the better the feedback .... You will need to use the shot descriptions as you get them, for direction, but you can change some actions and some timing to make your acting look better and communicate what you want.... It's important to try out many ideas before you start animating so videotape, draw, and act it yourself. Whatever works. It will save you enormous amounts of time and stress later...and result in a better looking shot... honest. I really want you all to spend time thinking carefully about what the characters are thinking, how they move based on their personality and the descriptions you came up with collectively in class. You WILL be animating all of the characters in your shot. You will not have to worry about intricate lighting or shading or anything else for Project 5 (motion) however.
