Blog posts are automatically mailed to the 4thYear Mailing list, so keep an eye on your official Sheridan email for new postings.
==================================
What does this course consist of?
ANIM 45436 is the course to help you make your Senior Project Film. It's made up of three components:1) The Lecture Series, which takes place on Wednesdays at 11 am, in S235
2) The Workshop Series - optional, Wednesdays at 2 pm, in Lab A151
3) Mentor Group Meetings - various times through the week, mostly in A360A and B
In addition there are several highlights to the semester:
4) SCREENINGS - All film works-in-progress are screened twice in the semester; the Leica Reel in Week 8, and the Animatic Reel in Week 14. These screenings are CENTRAL to the production workflow and are therefore required of all students. There is a 20% Grade Penalty for not submitting your film for screening.
5) GUEST CRITIQUE - During Week 7's Mentor Group Meeting, a guest, normally from the animation industry, will be present to view and critique your Leica Reel. This is a valuable opportunity to have an experienced pair of eyes view your film - make the most of it!
6) UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO "Composing For Film" CLASS VISIT - Each year about 40-50 animation students work with musicians from the U of T Faculty of Music to have music written specially for their films. The first step of this process happens this Fall (normally in Week 10 or 11) when we travel to U of T for a "Meet and Greet" session.
7) VISITS FROM MAJOR STUDIOS
Monday of Week 4 is already slated for a visit from our friends at Disney. Other studio visits through the fall are possible. More details TBA.
The Lecture and Workshop Series
You can get a very good idea of what we cover in the Lectures and Workshops by browsing through this listing. Note that most of the Lecture and Workshop bookings are still tentative and are subject to change. This listing also shows Milestone deadlines for the semester. More details will be available at the first lecture:Fall Lectures & Workshops
The Milestones
Grading for this course is determined by meeting the Milestone requirements as laid out in the 4th Year Handbook (link below - see especially the section titled, "Part 2 - SEMESTER 7 MILESTONES".) You'll get a very good idea of where you're going with your film project over the next few months by browsing through this document. More details at the lecture:
What workflow do we use?
You might enjoy watching the video below. It's a compilation of several films from recent graduating students, shown in four stages of development, from Leica Reel to Final Film. It should give you an idea of the overall workflow we use in the 4th Year Senior Project films. I'll show this video at the lecture and we'll have some time to discuss what it means for you.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday at 11 am.
