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:

create a short animation using traditional animation processes and a range of 3-D modelling and animation software.

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:

describe a production brief

discuss the use of animation keys

discuss the application of traditional animation processes to digital animation

outline the process for:

the development and recording of ideas

the production of 3-D animations

the production of a storyboard

the production of scene layout

filling media and paper-based assets

outline the principles of animation

discuss the scheduling of production components.

Range Statement

This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Twelve principles of animation must include:

anticipation

appeal

arcs

exaggeration

follow through and overlapping action

secondary action

slow in and slow out

solid drawing

squash and stretch

staging

straight ahead action and pose to pose

timing.
