Project Overview
Dundee College has recently moved into their brand
new, state of the art, flagship campus at Gardyne in Dundee. The campus serves
19,000 students and more than 300 staff with cutting edge facilities and a
spacious, contemporary open plan learning environment. To celebrate Christmas
in style they would like to commission you to create an awe inspiring, 3D
mapped projected Christmas art installation within the buildings social nexus
atrium space.
This is a seriously quick turnaround project. With
only 2 weeks until this project goes live this is an excellent opportunity for
you practise the cool headed, decisive, and creative practise often required in
a commercial setting.
You will be working in small teams of 4 throughout
this project. Each team must submit 4 sets of individual 30 second clips for 3D
mapping. It is imperative that you clearly divide tasks across your team to
ensure you make the very best use of the skills and talents available to you.
• Your animation must convey a strong sense
of Christmas using abstract shapes, forms, tone, colour, and movement. There must be no representational aspect to your animation other than this.
• Your
animations must use both surfaces separately and as a whole at some point in
the animation. So you should be submitting 3 separate rendered animation files
each.
• Your animation
must be designed to be effective once projected in a location with fairly high ambient
light (so highly contrasting forms and tone/ colours should be used at all
times).
• All 4 short
films submitted by your team must have a clearly consistent visual style.
• Your animation
must bring these 2D surfaces to life in 3D.
• Consider using
sound or music as the driving force of your movement. As there will be no sound
playback to accompany the projected installation you will not have to be
concerned with copyright issues in this respect.
• KEEP IT
SIMPLE! ;0)
Other than this you have creative freedom
on this project as far as choosing which 3D tools and techniques to use. It
would be sensible, wherever possible to ensure you are only using tools and processes
that you already have experience with so that you can be confident they will
work the way you expect, and quickly!
Your final animations must be output with the
following specifications:
• Resolution: 72
dpi
• Frame Size:
T.B.C. (Square pixels)
• Frames Rate:
30 fps
• Aspect Ratio:
Square Pixels (1.0)
• Deinterlace:
(No Fields -Progressive Image)
• File Format:
.mov
All your Premiere Pro project and source files must
be submitted on DVD to exact specifications as instructed by Aaron McCloskey.
This will include proper labelling on the DVD with your name, project title,
date, and all the source materials.
