Final Milestone: Cinematics II

Final Milestone: Cinematics II DUE TUESDAY APRIL 16, 2013, by 10:00 pm.

Finished Cinematic: In-Game or Render

Individual student submissions must be uploaded to the dropbox folder CinematicsII_FinalMilestone (folder will go live on Monday April 15, 2013), or IN PERSON. Lastly, if your dropbox is full or you find that you cannot upload your assignment, you may email me your assignment with an explanation to cferadaymiller@georgebrown.ca.

Create a folder and title it:  CineTitle_YourName_FinalMilestone

• eg: GhostHunterIntro_CathyFMiller_FinalMilestone

Each student must hand in:

• Folder named correctly containing:
• Playblast/.avi/.mov of final cinematic render or link to cinematic in a document (double check your links! If they do not work, the work will not be considered as submitted). 
• note: I am expecting to get the SAME version of the cinematic from each group member.  This is to ensure that everyone in the group has access to the same files, and knows and understands which is the latest version. 
• Statement Of Work
• Statement of Work should include images or avis of individual contribution (especially if assets were not used in final cinematic, or if student wishes to showcase their work more prominently), created from January to April.

Milestone Criteria: Complete In All Areas

Production

Sound

• Sound will not be graded as GBC does not have access to a sound lab, but makes a much better cinematic! 
• BONUS MARKS may be given for sound. 

Written Statement of Work

• Each student must include a detailed list of all assets that she/he created for the cinematic THIS SEMESTER, from January to April 2013, with an estimate of how much time was spent on each task, as well as an evaluation of their personal contribution to the cinematic project. For example, if a student was responsible for rigging complex characters, but also spent 50% of their time with production-related tasks and scheduling, this is where you would show this. Wherever possible, support this document with images, diagrams, charts and links to project websites. 
• For some of you this may be a re-iteration of what you have already handed in last for Milestone 2. Please submit the document again, and take care to note what was done in the last 2 weeks of the semester.
