Assignment 9 and up: Open Season

This is the section of the course where you get to choose the assignments that you will be completing.  There is no required amount to complete other than you are working.   Of course, every time you post a project on your blog it is dated.  Soooo... if your animation assignment is posted today and then you don't post another for another week I'm really hoping the project you post is worthy of a weeks worth of work!!

The more you do, the more prepared you will be for the final project.

Below you will find a list of many tutorials and links to tutorials.  Feel free to search out your own tutorials as well.
