Monday: 11/26
Hi everyone. My apologies, but I'm not going to be in class on Monday – my wife's stepdad has been very ill this semester, and I'm in Arizona to spend some time with him before he passes on. I'll be back by Wednesday's class. I'll want to view your "3D Environment" project on Wednesday, so please post it to the youtube account before then.
Including this Monday 11/26, we have four class periods left. I'm sorry for really breaking momentum around the thanksgiving week by missing a class on either end – but please dive in this monday, so that we can close out on a strong final project. I'll want to check in on wednesday about your concept for your final "short film" (or, alternately, the tutorial you will present at our final). Remember, your "short film" can be quite brief – creating special effects is usually time consuming, and I'd much rather see a really tight 1-minute film than a really half-assed five-minute one. The running time is far less important than the feeling it has a beginning, middle and end – that the film seems to come to a satisfying resolution, and doesn't just feel like an exercise.
See you in a couple days - and looking forward to hearing your concepts.

What's due Wednesday, Nov 6th
Bring at least two finished layers to class wednesday - they can be photo composites or drawings – they should simply be two layers in the virtual environment you are creating. The environment itself should have at least three layers, but have two of them finished in class so I can step you through distributing them in 3D space.
