Introduction to Showreel Project

'This project is designed to enable you to finalise, present and reflect on all project work produced during Year One. As an introduction to the post-production process you will create an edited showreel, 75 – 90 seconds in duration, set to a sound track of your choice. This process will enable you to present your work in a professional manner while demonstrating knowledge of the showreel form. The final output will be presented as a showcase of your developing specialist skills in animation.'
