Media Art: Animation

In Media Art we are beginning to work on our big animation project and we are currently in preproduction writing and storyboarding the film.  The final animation will be due the in 3 weeks right before our December break so make sure the foundation is strong so you don't end up lost in the process later!

Media Art: Animation

In Media Arts class we have been drawing our 50 page animation and today the 50 drawn pages are due (40 pages of your story and 10 pages which morph your story into your classmates).  After the 50 pages are complete each student needs to scan their index cards (3 at a times is most efficient and make sure to remember to save them to your H drive in a folder) and the use Photoshop to clean up any errors and adjust the brightness, contrast, and levels (all which are found under IMAGE - Adjustments) then crop each image separately and name them alphabetically (a1 a2 a3, ect.)  After your frames are all separated and ready they can be animated in Windows Movie Maker (as well as iMovie and other similar programs).

In Media Arts class we have been looking at the history of Walt Disney animation studios and PIXAR in order to prepare for our short hand drawn animation.  Friday we'll have a short quiz on the material but check out the short clip above showing the PIXAR animators discussing their student films!
