Due Date: Thursday, November 9
NOTE - If you need a camera email Marianela ASAP.
Project #3 - Animation/iMovie
Objective - to make a simple animation from "still images" using imovie.
What you will need:
- digital camera with tripod
- remote shutter control (not essential)
- Photoshop (in the lab)
- interface to mac computer
- access to imovie (use mac's in the lab or your own)
- sound files you can import (from CD, mp3, ...)
- cd burner to save the quicktime movie you make
Steps
- create a very short scenario or story ("dog eating food")
- draw, shoot, create pictures showing "increments of time" (you don't really need 24/second)
- process, edit, crop, adjust each picture in Photoshop as needed
- capture these pictures and load into imovie
- load audio track into imovie
- adjust start time and duration for each still image
- playback your animation and adjust until you like it
- create quicktime movie (render)
- burn movie and project folder to CDROM to submit
Write a 2 page (max) document outlining your procedures (Work Log like Project 2). What worked well? What were the limitations or frustrations? What issues emerged regarding image resolution, image processing/editing, timing and layout, connecting the music/audio tracks to the movie? Animation vs video?
