Assignment #1 – Photoshop Animation, 2 Parts

Part 1 – Students will use the Sponge Bob graphic file (or find one similar to the one used in the tutorial from the web – white background is key) with the Puppet Warp animation tutorial to learn how to use this basic animation feature in Photoshop. After successfully completing the tutorial and up loading the resulting animation to their ePortfolio, students will then make an animation of their own (Part 2).

Part 2 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-I had the best time with the second assignment the most. I feel good about it. I used a stick guy that I got of the internet I also got the background off the internet as well. I used puppet warp to manipulate the co and the stick guy! Hope you like it.
