In "THE WILD ALTERCATION" You may artistically interpret this phrase, and come up with your own approaches and ideas to drive your animation.

There should be some kind of conflict, problem, dramatic event, or situation that is presented, or solved in the artwork, animation or the (implied) story.

You may also leave any kind of conflict unresolved.

Do not think LITERALLY, think ARTISTICALLY about the concept of altercation. You may decide to use abstract shapes, and or use dramatic lighting to make this effective.

You should aim for at least 20 SECs OF ANIMATION PER PERSON. You will have the ability later to digitally edit your work.

Here are your production guidelines:

-Using a table, your teammates will place all of their cutout 2D artwork that they have gathered (about 10 pieces per student)

-You will discuss with each other a strategy for animation, and for your team idea.

-You may choose a director or directors in your group. You may choose a cinematographer, lighter, animators, and digital post production people. You must work as a team and with the best efficiency, while maximizing your individual strengths.

-You are expected to work the entire class time (not including break) on your animation.

-No paper story board is necessary, but you're expected to use the classroom whiteboard, card supplies, brainstorming ideas, concepts, and team strategy.

-Keep story ideas simple, indeed there need not be a true narrative in your project.
