Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Develop or source story or concept
   • Research ideas for the animation sequence
   • Produce treatment of an animation sequence
2. Develop plan and determine components required for the animation sequence
   • Produce and work according to the production plan
   • Develop a storyboard detailing the 3-D animation
   • Create concept drawings for 3-D models
   • Show evidence of the reference material used for storyboard and concept drawings
3. Produce the animation sequence using 3-D software
   • Use the production plan to create the animation
   • Select appropriate frames per second to use for the animation
   • Use references to create assets
   • Create a 3-D animation project using 3-D modelling and animation software
   • Animate components of the 3-D environment to reflect the planned animation sequence
   • Using 3-D modelling and animation software, produce high-end lighting techniques
4. Render and finalise the 3-D animation sequence
   • Select the appropriate resolution and aspect ratio
   • Employ 3-D modelling software to render the animated sequence
   • Review the rendered frames against the initial storyboard concept

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

show the reference material used for concepts and storyboards

develop storyboards and concept drawings for 3-D animation and models according to plans

apply a variety of strategies to create an animation sequence using a 3-D environment

develop a finalised frame of the animation in an appropriate resolution.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
