Title:

    Collaborative Animation Production from Students' Perspective

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Massive Collaborative Animation Projects (MCAP) was founded in 2016 by Dr. William Joel (Western Connecticut State University) to test students’ collaborative abilities and provide experience that will allow them to grow professionally and academically. The MCAP 1 production is a children’s ghost story designed to test the massive collaborative structure. The goal of MCAP 2 is to create an animation for use in planetariums worldwide. Currently, there are nearly one hundred student contributors from universities in Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Japan, Michigan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
