30 Frame Animation
animation needs to be more complex (at least 30+ layers), use at least 3 animated objects using the Puppet Warp tool, other objects/artwork/backgrounds brought in from the web and/or created in Photoshop that may be both static or animated using “Frame by Frame” animation. Complex means that the animation must tell a story – stories will not be violent, random, or otherwise inappropriate. A short paragraph(s)/narrative describing the storyline along with animation ideas, will be written in MS Word and PDF’d to the ePortfolio. Storyboards must be drafted and approved by the teacher BEFORE design work in Photoshop begins. This assignment should be completed in 4-5 class sessions.
This project was a lot of fun to make and complete. I started by making a story board (which was the hardest part.) Next I had to gather resource images for the animation. Finally I had to make all my frames and put them together. This was also very time consuming moving the arrow from frame to frame. Overall I am very satisfied with this animation and I am excited for the next animation.
