The film unwound, revolved, sparkled, outside of me, solitary, unfeeling, far-off as a heavenly body. It had killed me. It now rejected me and lived its own life. The only thing I could see in it were the memories attached to every foot of it and the suffering it had caused me. I couldn't believe that others would be able to find a story line in it
... from Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast: Diary of a Film.

Your final exercise will be a movie/animation of approximately 1 to 3 minutes. It may be developed from any of the themes and experiments that you explored during the term, such as experiments about lighting, conceptual or physical assembly, or other themes. It should be developed according to the following guidelines:

1. It is a movie that conveys a visual or spatial idea.
2. It should provide a primarily visual rather than a spoken narrative.
3. Your movie should optionally reflect the potential of moviemaking as a means of design speculation.
4. The media which are incorporated into your movie should be any one or a combination of the video and computer animation tools within your repertoire that we have examined this term.
5. Plan to meet with Earl Mark and Eric Field and with the graduate teaching assistant of your section for ongoing advisement on your work as may be helpful.

The final screening of all work will be held during final examination week on the evening of Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m. in the new VR theater in Exhibition Room "C" (or alternatively in Campbell Room 158 ). See special submit instructions on formatting and the process for handing in the final project, to be submitted in both 1. Playable DVD Video and as a 2. CD-ROM or DVD (data) disc.
