- 3)
You have your (each individual) team evals are due Thurs Apr 22 by Noon. see all instructions below.

 

 

-- Final Projects be in the following format:

 

1 CD-Rom with 1 top level folder on it marked TEAM## where ## is your number, ex: Team01

TEAM ## - In this folder is:

Team##report.doc

Data ( a folder containing the data used to create the work)

Team##.avi (or .mov, .mp4, …)

                            Or a folder call Team##final for those doing a non-linear  work.

 

 

Please follow these rules, for instance on the cd I only want to see one folder with your TEAM## at the main level.

 

1) Your movie ( if that is what you have) should be no larger than 250MBs and should be at least in the 500x500 range depending on your aspect ratio ( ex 640x480). Use a good compression such as dvd-mp4, sorenson3 or divx(xvid). Do not use a compression scheme that needs an esoteric decoder. Do not give me a video DVD. Do not go crazy with very long credits - we are showing this to the real public and they do not want to sit through minutes of credits. If you are doing something other than a movie, make use the folder option and have a README instructions file to explain how to view your work.

 

2) The team report is in doc format named Team##report.doc.

 The top of the report should have all the members of the team. The report should include issues you had making the piece, roles of the team members, an explanation of the piece and things to looks for in the piece. You are generally reporting on the production, what the team did, how it went in reality and what was made as well as what you want viewers ( and graders) to notice about the piece and the production. Only one report is needed for the whole team. IMPORTANT: YOU MUST STATE ANY DATA ( animation, sound, texture, model, ...) THAT YOU DID NOT MAKE YOURSELFS AND WHERE GOT IT FROM or else you are plagiarizing. It is fine to use music, sound, textures, even models from somewhere else BUT you must specifically state what you took and where you took it from in your report. We of course grade you for your specific contributions.

 

-- Team Evaluation: (Due Apr 22)

            This year we would like you individually, to rate you team. You rate you team with a 100 points for the whole team. That is when all totaled, the scores equal 100. You do not rate yourself. Start by dividing 100 by the number of your team members, say 25% for 4 members, than redistribute up or down based on if a member did more than there share or less.

            Susie:  25

            John:    35

            Frank:               (no score cause that’s me)

            Jane:    20

            Sara     20

 

Note they always total 100. If your scores do not total 100, they will be disqualified. We will use your and your team mates rating as a guide only with all the other information we have on your project. Download this excel sheet: teamXXratings.xls (rename the XX to your team number and only fill in for your team (leave out a score for you). Then email it to kla8@sfu.ca.
