You will be animating a known fairy tale, myth or folk tale. This is NOT a story that you make up. If you are having a hard time thinking of a story, check out this list from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fairy_tales
All worlds must use appropriate material. No profanity, nudity, strong violence or anything else inappropriate. Your story should feature bipeds (humans and animals that stand on 2 feet in Alice) so that you can create walking and other realistic procedures. You will start with the FinalProjectDesign, after each lesson, you will add to the design document and the final project. By the end of the semester your project will be almost complete.

We will be using Jack and the Beanstalk as an example throughout the course, so you may NOT use the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.

• Review the Final project checklist below
• Your animation must be at least 2 minutes long without filler that doesn't add to the story. (required)
• You must create an MP4 file of the movie to submit in Blackboard in the discussion. (graded separately)
• In the discussion, give a synopsis of your story. Tell why you chose this story.
• Put the MP4 only in the discussion section of Blackboard. Do not put the .a3p file in the discussion area. Note: the free version of ScreenCast-O-Matic no longer lets you record the computer sound. Don't worry about that, as long as the a3p file you submit to me has sound.
• You must watch the videos of classmates and comment on 3 in discussions.
• View all the .mp4 files from your classmates in the discussion section.  Respond to at least 3 classmates. Tell them something you liked and also offer a suggestion for improvement.(graded separately)
• In assignments submit the a3p file and your final project design.
