Shortly after dawn on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japanese warplanes launched an all-out attack on Pearl Harbor
[wiki], the major U.S. military base in Hawaii. Within two hours, they
had damaged or destroyed 18 warships and more than 200 aircraft, killing
2,403 American soldiers, sailors, and marines, and wounding 1,178.
Americans were stunned and outraged.
Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was one of the most dramatic incidents in
U.S. history - and the source of persistent questions. Did President
Roosevelt know the attack was coming?

The Brief
You will work in small groups (3 or 4 students) to the following brief:
Introduction
Just before 8 on the morning of December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The barrage lasted just two hours, but it was devastating: The Japanese managed to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleships, and almost 200 airplanes. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors died in the attack, and another 1,000 were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan; Congress approved his declaration with just one dissenting vote. Three days later, Japanese allies Germany and Italy also declared war on the United States, and again Congress reciprocated. More than two years into the conflict, America had finally joined World War II. – [http://www.history.com/topics/pearl-harbor]
Your Brief
In teams of three or four, using 3D Studio Max, you are to produce an animation to show how the attack on Pearl Harbour unfolded. You are to produce an informative documentary style video which accurately depicts the attack with reference to thorough research which must also be documented as part of the module.
This mark will form 100% of the overall mark.
