47 – “You Toon” Final Animation

Objective:

  • Produce a complete HTML5 animation that features the student’s original character.
Student-Friendly Objective:

  •  I can produce a complete HTML5 animation featuring my original character.

Link:

  • None. See links attached to Lessons 36 – 46 for review.
Topics Discussed:
  • For a complete list of Topics Discussed, please see the previous lessons (36 – 46).

Assignment:

  • First, create a new 800 x 600 HTML5 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 Animate CC techniques studied in class, design an HTML5 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. (That’s at least 240 frames at 30fps!)
  • Your animation should have an original photograph as a background. You may not use any photographs downloaded from the internet. Alternately, you may draw your own background in Illustrator, Animate, or Photoshop.
  • 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. Go to the File Menu –> Export –> Export Video, and click the “Export” button to convert your animation to a Quicktime .mov video.
  • Turn the finished .fla Animation file and the exported .mov movie  to the Google Classroom “Final Animation” assignment post by end of day on Thursday, May 18th.
  • All completed movies will be viewed at an in-class film presentation on May 19th. Note: All seniors must take their final exam on the 19th.
  • You must have an 8-second movie to present on Friday, May 19th. Failure to do so will result in an “zero” on your final project grade.


Do your best, and good luck!
