ASSIGNMNENT: ANIMATE PROJECT – ANIMATION & SOUND
It’s now time to launch Adobe Animate and to translate your storyboard into an animation. Use the principles we covered in class to make your motion engaging and convincing (squash & stretch, exaggeration, timing, spacing etc.)
The settings for your .fla document should be:
- Width: 1920px | Height: 1080px
- 24 fps (frames per second)
Also start working on your animation’s soundtrack. Use sound/music to enhance your piece (i.e: make the actions of your character clearer/more dramatic, to add emotion, humor etc.). Freesound.org, Internet Archive: Audio Archive, and Creative Commons tracks on SoundCloud are good resources for CC licensed audio. Don’t forget to keep a list of author’s name to credit them.
Deliverables (on Blackboard before next week’s class):
- Your animation should be at least 70% complete. Submit your .fla file.
