What
follows are instructions for your crit presentations and reminders of
what you need to present and submit. Please use your network of
creative partners to ensure that everyone has seen this information and understood it. Any queries, please leave a comment and I'll clarify where necessary.

You will present on crit day from a single presentation blog post comprising your 'Art Of' publication, animatic and Maya pre-viz. Your presentation should follow this order:
- Art Of
- Animatic
- Maya Pre-viz.
While you will present at the crit from your blog, you must also submit a submission disc to me, which must include:
- Art Of
- Animatic
- Maya Pre-viz
- PDF archive of blog. For instructions on how to export your blog as pdf. go here.
You need to take pride in every aspect of your creative submissions and the details do count.
In terms of branding, you should consider building a visual
relationship between the submission disc and the crit presentation
itself, so that everything pertaining to your project is clearly
'yours'.
Important: please note, your From Script To Screen crit starts at 10am sharp - at which point the doors will close. Latecomers will be disallowed entry after the crit has started, but are expected to join the crit at a convenient interval. Latecomers
will join the 'back of the queue' in terms of crit presentations and
will present their work at the end of the day in order of their arrival.
Students who have been in attendance since 10am or before will be
given the opportunity to leave the crit at this time. The order in which you'll be presenting your work will be randomised, which means any one of you may be presenting first!
If circumstances beyond your control* prevent you from attending on time, you must contact Jackie Andrew before 10am. Lecture Theatre 1 will be open at 9am.
Students should seek to arrive in advance of the start time to ensure
they are prepared. Your project management and professionalism counts.
Please prepare for your crit as you would for an interview or pitch.
For some 'Rough Guide' style advice re. the stuff of engaging crit
presentations, please go here.
And finally...
And
a note to any 2nd/3rd years - your input on crit day, as always, is
welcome.
*But not issues
in regard to last-minute technical problems (including writing of discs etc.) that reflect poor project management.
No student should be printing/writing discs/rendering etc. on the
morning of crit day. Thursday is your deadline, not Friday.
Good luck people. Work hard! :)
