(1) create at least a 15 second animation exemplifying this phrase "The Loser" in terms of the idea of dejection

(2) Use the one of the choices for characters or elements provided on the week2 part of my syllabus

You may use your own props and modeled environments if you wish, but try to act it out through the character.

(3) the animation should be software or rendered or hardware rendered playable quicktime movie, HD sized.

bonus renders may include extra views, side, or different perspective views.

(4) the animation is due at the TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY. be prepared to recieve

critique and talk about your intentions and ideas behind your animation.

"The Loser" as I imply it in this assigment, means showing a person or thing being rejected or dejected; prevented from attaining a desired goal by interference by a prop or situation. Please do NOT use SYMBOLS of rejection like a broken heart image or tears. Use your best animation skills to act out an emotion of dejection in your character.

-A man approaching his car gleefully, then noticing a parking ticket has been pasted on his window. The emotions of anger and dejection ensues

model very SIMPLE props if you need

-A person longing to reunite with object of love and discovering it has left for another. there could be a thousand different ideas you can use for this one.

-A very hopeful applicant to a prestigious contest or competition, opening a letter with high expectations, then slowly learning it is a rejection letter.

-Coming home from a long day's work and dying for that last beer in the fridge, then realizing it is empty and the roomate got it. dejected emotions commence.

-A bowler, convinced what he rolled will be a strike, and prematurely walking back to his seat. When not hearing the signature"crash" of the pins, he spins around in disbelief he rolled a nothin'.

-Someone waiting patiently for a Cab in new York, waving down car after car but no one stops to pick him up. He becomes impatient and checks his watch and notices a penny on the ground. He bends down to pick it up, just then a cab stops by him, but he does not see it. By then time he stands up again the cab leaves and he misses his last opportunity.

-A person having to go to the bathroom so badly that....OK, you come up with the rest..

Again, you don't have to show costume, or other characters or props. Use a single character and body language to illustrate the whole story. If you use props, keep them simple.
