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.
