Slide 2: THESIS STATMENT

Include a compelling still from your animation.

Revise and type your movie blurb here (this has likely evolved from your mid review)

The statement of your animation should start with "Title of your movie is a .."

Template Instructions:

This template is meant to help you organize your mid review presentation. to grab images from other slides, you can copy the entire slide over, then move things from there.

Each slide has text to the side explaining what the content should depict.

it is your kuleana to make sure all the content makes sense. This means paying attention to captions, titles, formating, and not leaving behind traces of the weird gray boxes in the template.

Meaʻai shows the evolution of the diet of Native Hawaiians throughout time and draws connections between access to healthy food and the prosperity of the Hawaiian people.

In ancient Hawaiʻi, the people grew and harvested their own food. They would work very hard and resulted in lots of calories burned everyday. As more missionaries and immigrants came over to Hawaiʻi, creating the title of the Melting Pot due to the wide range of cultures all in one spot, also came the mixture of meal creations that were made. Many families never had enough money to support their families, and had to get foods that were easy to make, cheap, and had lots of shelf life resulting in canned, processed foods. 

Then life became faster paced with advancements in technology and everything became more efficient. The rise of processed fast foods became the ideal cheap meal that anyone could buy. This caused many health problems such as heart disease and diabetes as the leading cause of death for Hawaiians. Luckily many have made the change of incorporating local and organic produce and replacing it for the unhealthy foods. An example is ʻulu for potatoes and poi for rice. By incorporating culturally appropriate foods that our kupuna and our bodies used to eat and was used to eating, our health has improved slowly but surely we could go back to how our people used to be.

Slide 3: Animation Sample ( from mid -review)



Show your animation sample from the mid review and speak to Key feedback pointes you recieved at the mid review., Breifly comment and how your group wanted to synthesize that feedback in the next animation version. .

Feedback:

-strong research

-good symbolism

-going back to balanced diet

-imports

-gov. perspective, vs hwn perspective of balanced diet

-indigenous food pyramid

Possible improvement areas:

-Narration/sound effects

-Adjust thesis and prototype to research point (make it clear on what we are trying to convey)

Mid-Review Animation

Project Roadmap

Slide 4: Animation Sample ( from mid -review)





Brefly describe some of overarching animation strategies (approaches to your animation) while showing your project roadmap (ie. are you alternating between micro and macro views from scene to scene?) Is the whole animation approach to contiuously zoom in. The strategy for how you frame your animation and how you transition from scene to scene should support your narrative. This is is the opportunity to emphasize this.

You can duplicate this page for additional project roadmap pages. - do not go over these in detail at all- just speak to the big points outlined above.

Slide 5: Asset Development

This page highlights the key assets that support your animation

Capture photos or gifs from the asset deveopemet phase- dont go into detail on each one. Just highlight the key assets that your team thinks are critical components to your story- and which ones you spent the most time on or were the most challenging and why.



Adjust this layout as appropriate to speak to the key assets

Asset Developement

Kealoha

Background

Building, houses, trees

Nutrition Graph

Slide 6: Asset Development

This page captures the supporting asset components for your animation - an opportunity to feature the additional assets needed to make your animation

Fish and Poi Meal

Spam and Rice Meal

McDonalds Burger

Big Bowl with ʻUlu Stew

Mauna Background

Hawaiian Islands- Intro/Outro

Animation Process

Slide 7: animation process

Include animation process photos.

these are process shots - behind the scenes look at the animating process.

What to say?

This is an opportunity to reflect on the experience of the studio, challenges the groups faced along the way, anything leading up to the animation itself which you will show next.

We went through multiple changes throughout our animation process. We changed the name of the animation, the visualizations, the scenes, the assets
