The DAD 498 team consisted of Gretchen Larson (Web Design major), Grant Miller (Web Design major), Chris Forsting (Computer Graphics major), Jon Wornson (Animation major), Jamie Grimes (Computer Graphics major) and Tom Smedsrud (Animation major).
For the team project they created a fictional company called 'Armature Science' and developed an Identity, Logo and fully functional web site. The web site showcased 2D and 3D graphics and a 3D animated commercial, featuring their company's robotic mascot.
The Animation department was represented by Jon Wornson and Tom Smedsrud. Jon skillfully crafted 3D models of the company's robotic parts and Tom created a great animated robot. The animated robot had a lot of personality thanks to Tom's brilliant animation.
Overall, the project was excellent and it was presented in a professional and engaging manner that was very accessible to the audience. Each of the team members were obviously passionate and knowledgeable about their respective areas and it was a great showing for each of the DAD departments (Web Design, Computer Graphics and Animation). It was also great to see the team's hard work displayed up on the big screen in the new Science Center auditorium.

Travis Bentley was one of the audience members, and like all good animators he had his sketchbook with him and was storyboarding a personal animated project :)
The DAD 498 team was led and mentored by Prof. Scott Mackenzie (Animation), Prof. Linn Nelson (Computer Graphics) and Prof. Dan Weinstein (Web Design).
