IMD I - A final day to animate

You will have today's rotation to make sure your Dino animation is complete. If your Dino is done find a simple illustration online and work on a little bezier practice. If your entering the reflections contest please see mr. D about finishing matting and paperwork. We have to turn these in by 1:30 today.

IMD I - Animation Review

Here are the steps for animating the dino body!

1. Duplicate the body symbol in the library, edit the copy to close the mouth.

2. place the mouth open graphic on the stage and convert it to a movie clip (this will place the graphic inside the movie clip)

3. Edit the new movie clip and add animated waving arms.

4. Duplicate the waving arms mc, edit this copy and use swap symbol to open and close the mouth.

IMD II - A Day For Planning

We're going to spend the week working on interactive resume. This will be your only day for research. Gather detail images from flickr and google for your main menu. Save them in a folder in your login. You should also be thinking about the illustration style you are going to use for your interactive resume.

You should have 30-50 images for class tomorrow!

I've been working on getting audio sfx together. I have several gig of MP3's ready! Here's a link to a sfx audio montage so you can hear some of the ambient sounds.

REMINDER: YOUR REFLECTIONS VISUAL ARTS ENTRY IS DUE TOMORROW!!!

I'm going to give audio entries an extension so we can complete recording. Visual arts entries are still due!

Stay focused! Have a good day! I should be back tomorrow.

IMD I - A Little Shade!

1. Make sure your dino is finished!

2. If dino is complete, work on drawing the alien above. The shape is relatively easy, but creating the shading can be a little tricky. Use separate layers to add the highlights.


I'll be demonstrating the technique in class tomorrow. If you get stuck work on your reflections entry. IT'S DUE TOMORROW!
