Module will be independently driven with students organising and negotiating use of facilities, support, and technologies.
Regular supervision meetings will help guide students thinking and problem-solving solutions (10x30mins)
The Post-Production phase of given projects may include processes such as scoring, foley, colour grading, VFX, and will require careful co-ordination with third parties and collaborating specialists.
It will be understood by students that outcomes form Module 6 ‘Animation Production Consolidation’ will be pre-requisite to this module – the ‘raw’ material needing now to be processed using appropriately selected methods in line with industry expectations and presentation parameters.
Students will be positively required to ‘our source’ certain processes that are not in their own specialist skills set.
The Presentation component of this module will take the form of a ‘Mirco Festival’ event conducted both in person and online as appropriate/required by circumstances of participating individuals.
Students will be encouraged to promote own work and activities to gain interest and attention from relevant industry and animation ecosystem figures – personal ownership of the event will be crucial as part of an ethos of professional practice and autonomy.
Direct opportunities for cross-level learning and knowledge exchange by participation of undergraduates and Alumni.
Live Q+A will form one basis for feedback and creative dialogue in preparation for ‘real-world’ events as students exit to industries and animation ecosystems.

Post-production Process Reel: Student may include some of the following: comparative ‘wipe-throughs’, ‘behind the scenes’ documentary footage, articles of planning, verbal, or written statements, explanation of collaborations.
Presentation Event Participation Reel: will may include footage of the individual’s participation, audience responses, pieces to camera, Vox pops - with attendance and contributions monitored and outcomes from feedback/reception of animation works captured (video/digital platforms).
Production Reflective Report – A written document offering an overview of activities, including visual references, and reflective and conclusive statements regarding learning aims and attainment.

Regular and strategic supervision meetings.
Seminar discussion and knowledge exchange.
