Stop motion assignment

Since we will start our stop motion assignment on Tuesday I would like you to search the Internet for some ideas. This is a two part assignment.
1. Find 5 videos you like that are stop motion and copy the links to those videos. Post them on your blog AND email them to Julie.Mcinturff@ksd.org.
2. Script your idea for your stop motion video. How many people will you need to make it? What objects will you need? What are the basic story lines? Send this information as the second part of your email.

Finally, if you are not caught up on your webpage, get the code from a friend and make sure you have everything ready for us to finish on Monday. We will put in 2 more page animations and then make the contact boxes editable.

5.       Repeat this step for the front tire and back tire layers

6.       Go to the car drawing layer at frame 5 and move your car a little bit

7.       Do the same thing for your front and back tire.  Remember to use the free transform tool to rotate the tires so it looks like they are moving

Step 8: using 3-d animation

1.        With the car and tires you will need to slowly start a 3-d animation to rotate and skew them to make them look like they are driving down the road and away.

2.       Click on the 3-d tool and click on your car in frame 5.  Rotate or skew it on multiple axis to make it look realistic.

3.       Repeat this process for steps the front and back tires

REPEAT STEPS 7&8 EVERY 5 FRAMES UNTIL YOUR CAR REACHES THE END OF THE ROAD.

If your chosen clip begins at the starting point of the song, click on your chosen ending point, drag your cursor to the end of song, and hit the "DEL" button on your keyboard. Your clip will remain in the waveform workspace and the unused portion of the song will be removed. If your chosen clip is located in the middle of the song, select and delete each unused song section before and after your clip.

Create your own Movie Banner!

Similar to how you did the movie banner with masking, you are going to create a movie banner for your own made-up movie. Remember this must be school appropriate and include only topics or objects that would be considered school appropriate.

Think about movie ads you have seen previously. Think about font, colors, slogans, etc. when you are creating your banner.  Check the internet for examples:

Details about how to create your banner:

1. Use at least one masking technique per shape
2. Use at least 3 text effects - these could include fill, shape, direction, filters, etc.
3. Use a background color or gradient to fill in the background
4.  Include the name of the movie and at least the star actor
5.  Include a slogan for the movie

Due by the end of class on Thursday posted to your blog.
