I have just under 5 months to create a whole portfolio to apply for university (to study BA in CG & Animation), which is quite hard when I want to specialise in stop-motion...so five months its really only a few moments in the grand scale of individually shot images...However, onward & upward, I've never been defeated by a deadline yet and do not plan to start now!
I plan to split my work to do into categories to ensure I cover everything they could possibly want to see to an admissions portfolio:
Human & Animal (and botanical) Drawings
Storyboards
Project on self exploration - create an alter ego (insert dossier) and create a maquette/armetuer to practise basic moments
Sculptural evidence
People in motion
Sketchbooks & Research
Graphic Design evidence (easiest part!Im that much of a geek im always editing something on the computer)
Concept Art
Completed Scripts / Ideas / Mind Maps "The art of storytelling"
Evidence of using and understanding programmes such as Photoshop/Maya
Photography - also Soundscaping
Character Designs
Evidence of previous animations / tests/ works in progress (I plan to also use some old fine art installations & films)
Thats the main ones....I think a bit of each will be a nice mix - lets just hope I can pull it off! If anyone has been on an animation course or would know what they are particularly looking for in such a portfolio leave a comment! Would be greatly appreciated, thanks
