Description: 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.
Reflection: This is my second project of the year. I did have another one but I think I forgot to save and couldn’t find it. First, I had to think of an idea for a animation. Then, I bought in all of the stuff I needed from the web. Next, I put them into Photoshop to get rid of the white backgrounds. In turn, I started making my animation with everything. Lastly, I exported as a gif and brought it onto my ePortfolio.
