Week 12 Set: Capstone work session

Supervised set time to finish Direct a Slop Feature and the director's statement drafted in week 11

10 May 2027

Last set of the semester, and it’s work time, not new material: the same three-check-in structure as week 9, timed around finishing rather than assembling. Bring the piece in whatever state it’s actually in, the story bible it’s supposed to obey, and the director’s statement draft from week 11.

What the check-ins are for#

The check-ins exist to catch the specific way a capstone fails at this stage: not “the individual clips look bad” but “the individual clips no longer agree with each other,” which is the sustained-coherence problem from week 10 showing up under deadline pressure, when it’s tempting to ship a shot that breaks the bible’s colour rule because re-rendering it would blow the timeline. Say so out loud in a check-in if it’s happening; a story bible you knowingly broke and can explain is a stronger submission than one you quietly hoped nobody would check against.

Update the director’s statement to match whatever the piece became, not what you planned in week 11 — a statement that describes a cut you abandoned is worse than no statement, because it’s the first thing a marker checks the piece against.

Afterwards#

Submit Direct a Slop Feature. There is no week 13.
