Concept Development Class 11: Midterm

So earlier today, I had my Midterm for my Concept Development for Animation class. We had to completely storyboard the classic Tortoise and the Hare story in two hours. It's designed to show us that we are capable of creating a storyboard sequence in such a short amount of time. It also shows us the surface level knowledge we have because we were forced to draw quickly to meet a deadline, so we resort to things we definitely know how to draw. We also needed to take from it the concept of setting deadlines for ourselves and actually achieving it. Why were we able to get our midterm finished? Fear of the Deadline? Random Subject? Whatever it was, we have to try and apply that to our regular routine so that we are able to keep a good work ethic in our artwork.

I somehow, actually enjoyed working on this. Even with the pressure on to finish within 2 hours. I never knew 2 hours could go by so quickly, but it was fun. I had to constantly edit myself so I could make the deadline and at least tell a complete story. There were more boards I wanted to add and details here and there, but I had to work fast...so obviously there will be mistakes. So without further a due, here's my Midterm in all its hastily drawn glory.
