4/22-4/26

Students began and continued to work on their Flash Animation project.  Requirements are listed below :)

Thursday 4/18

Today we will being our Flash Animation Unit.  Due to the snow we are going to postpone our picture taking project for the next unit. 

Students will learn how to make a Motion Tween, a Shape Tween and an animation using the Timeline, frames, key frames and onion skin.

Today will be all full class instructed learning.  Next class we will review and try our first assignment in Flash: Making a ball bounce realistically.

Tuesday 4/16

Due to the snow, we can't start our new project that requires taking photos outside.  Instead, we will have a make up day today.  This will give students an opportunity to work on any projects they are missing so far.  Only 5 weeks before Finals start!  Make up work now so it doesn't pile up later!!

Friday 4/12

Today we edited any last minute slides/photos for our stop frame animation.  (30 Minutes)   Then as a class we counted how many pictures we had imported and figured out timing for our animation based on 24 fps (frames per second).  Essentially we had 24 pictures per second of video.  Please see slide below for timing.  Once everything was complete, students graded themselves on the Stop Frame Animation Rubric and then turned it in via posting in under 2D Graphics-Duffy on the StudentShare Drive (S: Drive)

How do I get to the StudentShare Drive and how do I save my project there?

1. Go to your "Start" button
2. Open "Computer"
3. Click on OHS Drive or S: Drive
4. Click on StudentShare
5. Click on 2D Graphics-Duffy
6. Right click and create a new folder
7. Name that folder with your own name
8. Save your Stop Frame animation AND save your pictures. 
9. When I open your Name folder, I should see two things
1. Stop Frame Animation
2. Photos

Monday & Wednesday 4/8 & 4/10

Pictures are due at the end of Wednesdays class!   You will have all day both days to complete your picture taking.  When you are finished, see me to import your pictures and then edit any pictures that are in need of editing or cropping. 

On Friday we will put timings to our photos as a class!  Just know how many pictures you have!

3/26 & 3/28

Students will begin taking pictures for their stop frame animations!  They will have 4 days to complete the picture taking process: Tuesday, Thursday, Monday & Wednesday.  The following Friday, as a class, students will determine how long their animations should be.
