OVERVIEW OF FSO/2DA PROJECTS

PROJECT #1EVEN TIMING: THE MORPH

APPROXIMATE TIME: This project will take approximately 1-2 hours.

MATERIALS:Animation paper, pencil, light table with peg bar, scannerSoftware: Photoshop, Toki LineTest, QuickTime

Objective : To understand the basic process of creating movement and even timing.

Problem : Create a simple animation that begins with one shape and then changes (morphs) into another shape. This movement should happen in place in at least one second of time (24 frames); drawings should be shown for 2 frames each (animated on 2’s).
