Spring 2016 – 45 – Final Animation

Objective:

  • Produce a complete Flash animation that features the student’s original character.
Student-Friendly Objective:

  •  I can produce a complete Flash animation featuring my original character.

Link:

  • None. See links attached to Lessons 35 – 44 for review.
Topics Discussed:
  • For a complete list of Topics Discussed, please see the previous lessons (35 – 44).

Assignment:

  • First, create a new 800 x 600 ActionScript 3.0 animation running at 30fps.
  • Use File -> Import -> Import to Stage to import your character’s front and side views to separate layers. Your characters should be imported to a single flash layer, and should appear as a group of symbols (the symbols you created in Illustrator in the previous lesson).
  • Using the Adobe Flash techniques studied in class, design a Flash animation using bone tweens and embedded animation to have your character “walk” onto the stage, perform some action, then leave the stage.
  • Your animation must have a working “Replay” button that rewinds the animation to the first frame, and should stop at the end of the animation (not play in an infinite loop).
  • Your animation must be a minimum of 8 seconds long, without titles.
  • Your animation should have an original photograph as a background. You may not use any photographs downloaded from the internet.
  • Your animation should have an audio soundtrack. I will provide music clips to use, but you may import music that you have available as long as you use less than 8 seconds of music. You may create sounds using Garageband if you have experience with this software.
  • You may only use audio, images and text that you have created yourself. This includes music, artwork, photographs and animations. Anything you did not create yourself may not be used.
  • When your animation is complete, export it as a movie. See Mister Marmolejo for details on how to do this.
  • Turn the .fla Flash file and the exported .mov movie in to folder number “45 – Final Animation” by end of day on Thursday, May 12th.
  • All completed movies will be viewed at an in-class film festival on May 13th. Note: All seniors must present on the 13th.
  • You must have an 8-second movie to present on Friday, May 13th. Failure to do so will result in an “zero” on your final project grade.


Do your best, and good luck!
