digital art : experimental animation

PROJECTS:

1/ Digital Storytelling: Due 2.23
Using a digital camera (of your own or from the lab), shoot photos that tell a story using only still images. Then using the suite of iTools or FinalCut, make a photo album or movie with a soundtrack that illustrates the story.

2/Character Study:Due 3.16
For this project, you will concentrate on developing a great character (person or animal). The person must talk or make sounds and must move. The character can be made from clay, cut paper, or any other physical materials. We will create the basic animation in iStopMotion.

For the final piece:
-the character must have a voice (sampled or recorded)
-the animation must be 20 seconds minimum

3/Sound and Image Due 4.20
Create a motion graphics animation in which the images express and synchronize with the audio element. The sound may be sampled from another source or original.

4/Text Animation: Due 4.27
Using Flash, animate an original or found piece of text and set it to music.

5/FairyTale:Due 5.28, EXAM PERIOD, 8-10am
Choose a fairy-tale. Then find a sequence which is cinematic in feeling. Create a short animation which depicts the sequence in an original way. Consider this an adaptation.... your graphics should interpret, update, even change the meaning or feeling of the original tale. You may also use music, text, or voice-over or any combination of the three.
