IMD I - Farewell to Max and hello to RIA!
When I'm back we will continue with our we3 comic work, put this on hold today. The content students have created so far is amazing, I can't wait to see the finished product.
By early next week we will be moving into RIA development. RIA stands for Rich Internet Applications and we create them using Adobe Flash.
1. Look at how RIA websites can benefit a company.
2. Watch the video to see an example of a RIA developed website
3. Get a preview of the application by completing this step by step tutorial. - SAVE YOUR WORK!
The tutorial introduces some major concepts. TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ ALL CONTENT CAREFULLY. This is critical for success with any tutorial. If you get stuck ask a friend for help.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Get ready for film festival friday, we're going to be watching the src and chess set shorts!
No Lunch of Rock this week :-(

Steve Jobs 1955-2011
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. - Steve Job

IMD I - 3rd Hour
We worked with some interesting new tools in lab today.
Use third hour to practice the concepts using the animation from your SRC project.
1 Animate Gaussian blur in and out on your clips.
2. Add two or three titles.
3. Add directional blur on the titles to animate them.
4. Can you figure out how to animate the position of a title on screen.
5. Can you animate changes in opacity for a title.
6. Explore a few different video effects. RANDOMLY ADDING VIDEO EFFECTS CAN CRASH YOUR COMPUTER! Exercise caution.
7. Use the entire lab to work on this assignment. I will take a grade from on screen before the end of lab.
