production scheduling
resource management including human resources
team leading skills
budget management
project management
report writing
principles of negotiation
information management
costing, budgeting, liaison
principles and techniques of design and script (text) breakdown
research
visualisation and interpretation of creative concepts
preparation of design briefs
communication and presentation techniques
copyright legislation and regulations
understanding the capabilities of other collaborative designers or contractors
understanding the artistic elements of a production
exercising a high level of creativity and ingenuity
maintaining design integrity
colour theory, line, dimension, depth and their application on the screen
the behaviour of various materials, finishes, painting techniques and colours under lighting
principles and techniques of animation, layout and composition
ability to create style or look consistent with direction of director
ability to select and style colours
ability to select colours for characters and match to background colours
perspective and technical drawing
Linkages to other units
This unit has linkages to the following units and combined training delivery and/or assessment is recommended:
CUFANM02A - Coordinate the production of animation
CUEFIN2A - Manage a budget
CUSGEN04A - Participate in negotiations
CUFGEN05A - Make presentations
Critical aspects of evidence
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
the development of creative animation design concepts which meet practical requirements including type of production and resource constraints, in particular budgetary constraints
effective verbal and written communication with a range of individuals/organisations
knowledge and application of research techniques
presentation skills
Method and context of assessment
Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a mix of both of these. However, assessment of this unit would most effectively be undertaken on the job due to the specific workplace environment requirements. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
work samples or simulated workplace activities
oral questioning/interview aimed at evaluating the processes used in developing and realising the creative concept
projects/reports/logbooks
third party reports and authenticated prior achievements
portfolios of evidence which demonstrate the processes used in developing and realising the creative concept
Resource requirements
Assessment requires access to a range of equipment currently used by the cultural industries.
