audi has a very effective video for their new 2010 TT car. the "form edits" (remember those from the editing lecture? cutting from a plane propeller to a ceiling fan, etc) are amazing. check it out.

4D :: opener/data :: final crit requirements

deliverables

• final .mov file, 720 x 480 (basic digital video resolution) or  1280 x 720 (hdtv resolution).
• filenames: "na_lastname_opener.mov" or "na_lastname_data.mov"
• place your file in my CAS dropbox ten minutes before the start of your class friday. note that a timestamp goes on the folder when it's uploaded, so make sure you’re on time or your grade will suffer.

presentation
we wil handle crit the same as last time, for the sake of time efficiency and quality of feedback. respond to the following bullets with a brief statement on your blogs. title it "statement for show opener" (or data presentation, as appropriate), post a screen shot, and label the post "NA". your statement will count toward your final presentation grade.

• explain hierarchy of and relationships between the communication channels. what takes priority, if anything, and when does it do so?
  
• why you used the media/production techniques you utilized. what did that rendering style or formal approach add to your story?
• what, if any, new things did you learn through this process? was it more difficult to orchestrate things with all your options open?
  

class time will consist of demos of your projects with no formal presentation. we want to share all of the great results you will have achieved.

the actual critique will consist of each student providing written criticism of two peers. your criticism of your peer’s project will count toward your participation grade. post your crit as a comment on the appropriate classmate's blog post titled "statement for show opener" (or data presentation).
