Introduction and Design Brief

Introduction

This project is entitled Tsu-Vis, after Tsunami Visualization (based off the Technology-Student Association Competition event Scientific Visualization). The goal of the project is to create an informative video educating people about how tsunami waves are formed and the damage they can do to civilizations as well as protection measures those civilizations can and have taken. The video should include as much information as possible while still being understandable enough for children at least 12 years old. My role in the project is to design and animate the second half of the video, a wave's damage and ways to protect against them, while my partner, Kelsey (link to blog in side bar), designs and animates the first half, the different types of tsunami formations. 

Team Design Brief:

Create a visualization of tsunami waves, how they are formed and the methods of protection against them, for instructors and professionals to broadcast.

Individual Design Brief:

Design and animate the possible damage of and methods of protection against a tsunami wave for educators and professionals to broadcast.
