Try drawing lightly with a pencil first to test the movement of your drawings, when it is right you might want to trace over with a marker. You can use color or black and white.<\/p>\n<p>You might create a transformation of some kind (a ball turns into bird, which turns into the sun, which turns into an airplane, etc, etc), or depict a cataclysmic event, like a tornado or a volcano. Try and focus on the movement, don&#8217;t worry about each drawing being perfect. Animation is the <em>relationship<\/em>between the drawings.<\/p>\n<p>Planning is important, think about the story you want to tell with your drawings, the scale of objects, timing of changes.<\/p>\n<p>Bring your completed flipbook with you to class next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The grading rubric for this assignment can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1nCjaGh_78ReE1HtsHI-zIgXga1lkclQ8eOzh5nTP-yU\/edit?usp=sharing\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SLIDES http:\/\/bit.ly\/mmp260-topic1 SUGGESTED RESOURCES &#8220;Things &#8211; Zoetrope&#8221;&#8211; Short video by Bre Pettis showing a Zoetrope in action &#8220;The MultiPlane camera&#8221;&#8211; Short Disney documentary from 1956 Animation history: George Melies, \u201cA Trip to the Moon\u201d (1902) Emile Cohl, \u201cFantasmagorie\u201d\u00a0(1908) Winsor McCay \u201cGertie the Dinosaur\u201d\u00a0(1914) Otto Messmer, \u201cFelix in Hollywood\u201d\u00a0(1923) Animation today: &#8220;A Man too Good to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/1-what-is-animation\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;1.What is animation?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":185,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25\/revisions\/185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-1301-s2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
