FINAL CULMINATING ACTIVITY
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the final project is to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate the 3D
Animation skills they have developed over the course of the semester.
Students may work alone or groups of two. Each student must take full responsibility for meeting all the
requirements and expectations of the final project. For students who choose to work in groups of 2, it is
absolutely imperative that each member takes an active role and works co-operatively in completing all
aspects of the project. Furthermore, the final project should effectively communicate and integrate
the Catholic faith tradition, in the critical analysis of the arts, media, technology, and information
systems to enhance the quality of life.
CGE2e- An effective Communicator who uses and integrates the Catholic faith tradition, in the
critical analysis of the arts, media, technology and information systems to enhance the quality of
life.

3D Animation Video
This CPT’s main focus is to tell a story through expressive 3D characters. The structure of the project will
be based on the given theme “LETS GO”. The first part is to create a detailed storyboard outlined on
paper. The second part is to bring their story to life by creating, animating and compositing the scenes
outlined their storyboard. The character may take the shape of any object but the main character should
be the main focus of the production. There are no limitations as to the realism of the characters;
however, the ability of the characters to express emotion is a major component of the production.
