As you’ll see, Larry followed through on his detailed plan quite effectively. Here is my observation:
I joined the Zoom session at the start of the class (noon) to find numerous students already in attendance with Larry joining with them in small talk. He stated he wanted to wait a few minutes before starting his presentation. The session was being recorded for later viewing.
At about 12:02, Larry started his presentation with approximately 18 students in attendance. He started by showing a VR game concept video his team had worked on approximately 6 years earlier. The clip lasted several minutes long and was an impressive demonstration. Larry was concerned that the video and the video’s sound might not work well on Zoom, but as he narrated over the video, his voice was clearly heard as were the sound effects from the video he was playing. During the clip, Larry gave a brief explanation of the character’s development as well as numerous interesting side-notes that gave students an idea of what is expected in the industry.
After the video clip (which gave students a good example of a “finished” character that was developed for a game concept video) Larry then explained in detail the process for developing the character. He showed the students the
numerous rough sketches that had been created as possible ideas for the character. Larry also displayed and explained how reference boards are used as inspiration for character ideas. He then talked about many of the sketches and why they had been suggested and why some had not been chosen. Throughout all of the class, Larry often mentioned time-constraints and budgetary-constraints that students would face on the job.
Before the observation, Larry had told me that the class I would be observing would be covering how characters are developed. When I asked what his game plan was to accomplish this task, Larry provided this very detailed answer:
· Open with video of a VR game concept video (Vertical slice) that my company made for Oculus in 2014-15 so they have some context of where the characters that we're going to talk about come from.
· I use this PowerPoint (he had provided the PowerPoint to me) to use as a walk through, explaining the process of going from an idea, to exploration of ideas based on the premise to focusing on the character design and working through details, to the model's construction. I open the model in Maya during this and explain some aspects of the 3D model/textures, etc. as well as the business end of getting the models made by a contractor; how long, communication and technical targets.
· Go back to the PowerPoint and cover some other characters and creatures and their requirements, use cases and why some used, some not, etc.
· I let people interrupt during the presentations to ask questions, make comments. Even so, I have another open Q&A session when the PPT is done.
· Time permitting, I then open some portfolios from professionals that I've either worked with in the past or know of, to show the level of quality the students should aim for as they go through school.
· I don't cover character animation in this lecture, that's next week

II. Community Service Plan Discussions
About the Locality
General Santos City, located in the 12th region in South Cotabato, or popularly known as the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, is currently identified as a growing city in terms of population and economic development. With a growth rate of 2.01% a year, the General Santos City population as of 2021 is approximately 669, 924 residents. However, taking into account the downside of this growth, pollution and garbage generation also become rampant more than ever and need to be controlled in order to protect our health, the environment, and marine life. One means to address this problem is by conducting a coastal clean-up drive as a community service plan in the city.
One of the coastal areas that need to be addressed in the city is the Queen Tuna Park, formerly known as Lion’s beach. It is a public beach with no entrance fee, thus, mostly enjoyed by local residents during breaks and weekends but this may also have become a beneficial factor to its current state. It has presently become one of the least maintained parks in the locality and had the worst review from both citizens and tourists due to its filth and full of garbage in the
field that led to contaminants such as fecal coliform for several years yet there are still no actions that were taken to successfully alleviate this issue.
Figure 1 and 2: Queen Tuna Park, General Santos City
Conceptualization of the Plan
The community service plan initiative, namely, “Paglikom: Kalinga sa Aplaya”, a voluntary coastal clean-up drive is being proposed in order to improve the welfare of this natural resource that shall be approved by the local government unit. The main goal of this initiative is the mass collection of wastes in the seashore in order to eliminate the waste and the toxic chemicals it brings harm to marine life and to its tourists and recycles most of the waste such as plastics and metals for a better purpose by selling it to the junk shops. This is also a stepping stone in providing awareness regarding the rising rate of land and water pollution and the problem of management disposal in the city, orienting and encouraging the citizens to practice proper waste management and environmental care.
This plan shall be composed of volunteers from ages 18 to 50 years old together with appointed heads by the local government unit. Donations and sponsorships will also be generously accepted to provide quality equipment, conduct seminars, and meetings whilst following the protocols for COVID-19, and cover the cost for transportation services and sustenance, together with the
accumulated funds by the retail of recyclable plastics and metals and aid by
the local government. This project is relevant during summer breaks and vacations so that students may participate without the hindrance of their tight schedules, as well as professionals.
Project Timeline

- Finance and sponsorship committee shall work hand-in-hand with the accumulation of funds through sponsors, donations, aid by the LGU, and funds to be acquired through the collection of recyclable materials.
- Once the registration form for volunteers has been filled, with a minimum number 30 participants, another meeting shall be held for the conduct of seminar on environmental awareness, emphasizing the The Republic Act 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, as well as giving instructions and precautionary measures for the volunteers and members of the committees.
- Finance committee shall procure the necessary materials for the event such as garbage bags, gloves, face masks and shields, and other necessary tools.

III. Conclusion
The project, “Paglikom: Kalinga sa Aplaya”, emphasizes the word “paglikom”, meaning to collect, as collecting the garbage and waste on the shores of the Queen Tuna Park in General Santos City is important, especially to the beneficiaries in the local community. Before the public beach was degraded, it was initially the number one spot for Generals (citizens of General Santos City) to unwind together with family and friends and this project is designed to restore its value. This also contributes to the improvement of marine life in the beach park and the creatures living there. This can spread awareness of how we should take care of our environment so that we will not make the same mistakes twice that led to the degradation of our natural resources.
Through this project, residents can recognize the importance of Bayanihan in order to achieve a large goal which is not only attainable by physically doing the voluntary work in the clean-up drive, as there are some people who cannot do so, but also in simple ways such as proper waste disposal and segregation, apply the 3 R’S (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), spreading awareness, and by being
educated in the most basic principles of being a productive and responsible Filipino citizen- which is to be a steward of the environment.
