RTF 319 Final Projects — Wednesday Lab Section, Fall 2012
I am very pleased to present the final projects of the Fall 2012 RTF 319 Introduction to Digital Media class. In this section I’ve grouped similar items, starting with Animation, followed by visual effects projects, and culminating with a group of Video Projects that have left me astounded.
This page features 16 of the students’ projects from the Wednesday section, and I hope you get as much enjoyment from these as I did. I am really proud of the work done by the students in the class. (A seventeenth and eighteenth project will be featured soon!)
Animation Projects
Shark Week
Connor Adams leads off the animation projects. His work in Maya 3D captures the terrifying adventures of Shark Week.

St. Stephen
Dylan Carter put together this fantastic 2D project in Flash. It’s a music video for the song “St. Stephen.” Dylan spent the entire semester working on this project, starting from storyboard and concept and working through the stop-motion capabilities of Flash to tell a truly compelling story. This is one of the more beautiful projects to emerge from this group.
