Add Text To Flash

Today we sketched, "high five" with a logo.

After our sketch, we are going to add text to a flash file. Include the words,

"You deserve a high five" (You are not limited to the text above.)

Use 5 colors and
5 fonts
List the fonts and colors on your blog.

Finish before class ends. Post to your blog. If you can't post the flash file, just post the five fonts and five colors.

"Voca-Pella" Self-Evaluation

You worked in a group and created a vocal performance. I called it "voca-pella." (I have no idea if this is a real term... I probably should have checked.)

What did you think of your performance? What did you think of your group's performance? What did you learn from this experience that you can apply to your own animation project?

On a separate piece of paper, answer these three questions.

1. How well did you do?

2. How did your group perform?

3. What did you learn about creating sounds for your own animation projects?

After you answer the questions, find one person from a different vocal group to read and sign your paper.

The Little Things ...

Add up

When you create your animation projects, consider the title. Will we want to watch it? Will we be confused by the title? Will the font distract the viewer? What will the first few scenes reveal? Will you create your own "animation studio?" Had you considered credits?

Will you have music? Will you have a theme or story? 

Intro

Font (credits, both opening and closing)

film company?

music

setting

story/theme "love story"

metaphors or word choice - the tribe, clumsy ballet, the lone penguin, tightrope performers

Homework - describe three images from the first two minutes of "The March of The Penguins." How does the image help move the story forward. (for each image, give three reasons.)

Movie Monday - Musical Mayhem

For Movie Monday, you will watch AND LISTEN to Tom and Jerry's The Cat Concerto and Tom and Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl.

Choose your five favorite sounds and identify how they were created.
Post your answers in a blog post. Title your post, "Identifying Sounds"
Share your answers with a partner; respond to your partner's answers in the comment section.
