Welcome and Final Flash Project

Welcome to the second semester of Animation!  I am really looking forward to working with you all this semester.

Over the next three weeks we will be completing out final Flash project.

• Animation 1 students will create a music video
• Animation 2 students will create episode 4 of their animated cartoon

Here is the time line for completing the projects

•  Friday Jan 21 - storyboards are due.  Animation 1 students need to have their music imported into flash.

• Friday Jan 28 - the first 40 seconds (480 frames @ 12fps) are due.
• Friday Feb 4 - the second 40 seconds (960 frames @ 12fps) are due.
• Friday Feb 11 - the last 40 seconds (1440 frames @ 12fps) are due.

Requirements:

Music Video

• You may pick a song of your choice - it must be school appropriate (no profanity, drug, sex, alcohol, gang content).  If your song is inappropriate you will score a zero for this project.
• You need to edit your song so it is 2 minutes long (use audacity to do this).
• This needs to be a animated video - not a slide show - this means things have to be moving and changing throughout the video.

Episode 4

• Episode needs to be 2 minutes long.
• Make sure that you are not making a slide show - things should be moving and changing.
• You do not need to do sound in this one unless you want to - Let me know if you need the laptop and microphone.

Whichever project you do, make it your best effort.  This is your time to show what you have learned this year.
