11 Second Club Submission by Jinng Hwee Tan
Below is an example of a strong submission for DA702 PR1 by Bucks MA student Jinng Hwee Tan. Jinng hasn't lit and rendered the shot, so he will have lost marks for post-production, but the quality of his animation is very strong, and the camera work also works very well.
11 Second Club entry by Victoria Bailey
Below is an strong example of a submission for DA702 PR1 by Bucks MA student Victoria Bailey. It is also a good example of a two character scene in which the second character is offstage. To see more about how to handle a two shot (two characters acting together) see this blog post.
