The rubric outlines criteria for evaluating animation projects at four levels - novice, apprentice, proficient, and distinguished. At the novice level, there is no clear storyline, characters are random and confusing, and animation is choppy with no sound or music. The apprentice level shows some storyline and basic storyboarding, but information remains confusing and animation is choppy. The proficient level has a clear storyline aligned with characters and sets scaled appropriately, with smooth animation and inclusion of sound effects and music. The distinguished level exceeds expectations with fully developed story, characters, sets, and smooth animation integrated with relevant sound and titles/credits.
