Review a demo reel of student work from past semesters of 334 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsZQu5q_N_k&feature=youtu.be).
The purpose of this exercise is to put together a collective list of what you and your classmates consider to be “cool” in terms of animated short subjects. It could be a music video, a Pixar or Disney short, or some student work from a similar class at another university, an advertisement, etc. Copy the URL into the Google Form, and then add a sentence or two about what you liked about it.
Examples -
“All Creative Work is Derivative”

I’m an art history buff and I love how the animation was made using only photographs of artifacts from the Met. The music track is awesome and syncs very well with the animation.
“Redrawing Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Rotoscoped”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et1Zv4PWjLQ
This is a collective animation project by students at the University of Newcastle, Australia. I love the different approaches and techniques the students used in rotoscoping this music video. A real tour-de-force!
