Craig Frazier sketchbook online

Speaking of sketchbooks (or at least we were in class), look at 98 pages a site with a flash slideshow of sketches by Craig Frazier. It will make you completely jealous of his insane ability to show complicated emotions and concepts in the most elegantly simple way. . . AND it will probably make you want to draw more, which is a good thing.

Assignment 3
Animate a Nested Symbol

Animate an object with at least one moving part. This is your chance to break away from the tutorials and animate something that you want to do!

Due: Thursday, April 17 (at the beginning of class!)

Objectives:

Design and create 1 animation of your own
Use keyframes, tweening, motion guides, ease in and out, sfx, nested symbols, and other techniques we’ve been learning.

Requirements:

Part A: Plan

Sketch your basic idea in your sketchbook. Determine what objects need to be drawn, what animation techniques will be used, and what happens over the course of your ten seconds.

Part B: Animate

1 ten second animation, 24.0 fps and 550 x 400 containing a moving symbol with at least one moving part. (Ie. A butterfly moving around the screen while flapping it’s wings.)
Create vector graphics either in Flash or in Illustrator
Incorporate some of the principles of animation: squash and stretch, anticipation, staging, etc.
Add a sound clip or sound effect.

Graded on:

Technical requirements (listed above) 60%
Timeliness 20%
Aesthetics and creativity 20%
