<p>I do a lot of 3D modeling work, and want to submit some of my work for the MIT Maker supplement. The problem is, the maker supplement requests that you only send one piece of your work representative of what you do, rather than multiple things.</p>
<p>The problem is a lot of my work consists of things just like a random flower, or destroyer, or whatever I feel like making on a specific day.</p>
<p>I mean, the longest animation I've made so far is a 20 second animation of some jets dogfighting, and that seems lacking when you have three minutes of video to submit.</p>
<p>So should I make a video with maybe two or three animations, a little over a minute long, to try and reflect some more of what I do? How exactly would I write about that in the short answers? Advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Some people make a website or online portfolio that shows a little more of their work. That could be a good idea for you.</p>
<p>There is no guarantee that they will thoroughly look through your website, but a link to an online portfolio (that is well organized and not full of “filler” material) might be appropriate. I’d still advise you to only present work you are proud of – while you might make lots of small, quick projects, the admissions officers may not have time to look through a long portfolio. :)</p>
<p>An online portfolio is a smart idea, but I have a question about that. My html is rusty, and if I were to make it I’d need a few more days than what’s left before the early action deadline.</p>
<p>Could I simply put one animation/scheme on the maker profile for now, and then if I get deferred in December make a website then, and add it to the application for the RA deadline?</p>
<p>You could also split your videos together. 3 minutes is the max for one video. </p>
<p>You should also not feel the need to fill 3 minutes just because it is 3 minutes! If you can tell just as compelling a story in a shorter period of time that’s actually better.</p>
<p>You can continue updating your application even after the due date. It’s just not guaranteed that the Admissions officers will see your updates - but if it’s done early (if you only need a few more days), there’s probably a good chance they’ll get to see.</p>
<p>I would do what Chris suggests, and then build the website as a backup and send that in when you get the chance.</p>
