Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to:

produce design specifications for animation and digital visual effects projects that are:

well documented and clearly presented

supported by appropriate research and experimentation

meet production requirements

generate a range of concepts for animation and digital visual effects that meet cost, technical feasibility and production requirements, in collaboration with other team members

conduct trials, research and experimentation in developing design concepts for animation and digital visual effects

analyse and document research findings based on trials and experimentation for improving concept designs

review design process for improvement.

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

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain factors that impact on the design of animation and digital visual effects
