Overall Objective for this Semester:

Create a short animation that contains a polished story, layout, models, rigs, and animation.

Shading, lighting, effects, and compositing will happen dependent on the progress of these other parts of the pipeline. We plan on taking Spring semester and possibly the following Summer to continue to fine-tune everything, in the hopes of having a finished piece that will be submitted to animation and film festivals around the country.
