Bubble ProjectYou will use Photoshop and the tutorial attached to the right to complete this project. Remember you must right click on the tutorial and choose save file as. or save file to downloads. You should complete 3 images: easy, medium, and hard.
inspirational speech project
Choose someone or a group of people that has delivered inspirational speeches. An example of these people include Martin Luther King Jr., Jim Valvano, etc. Using YouTube (which I will need to unlock on your computer), download a couple of their speeches and import the .MP3 files into GarageBand. Cut and splice the clips down to compile a mix of phrases and quotes that inspires and motivates you. Finally, add in a dramatic background music track to bring everything together and make it sound complete. Make sure you monitor your levels and make them even from start to finish!
When you have finished your project, save it as a GarageBand project file (.BAND) and name it lastname + speech. Export it using the .MP3 encoder and name the output file the same name (ex: fursespeech.MP3). Submit your exported project using the form on the right. |

T.V. Ad project
Find images of the cast, characters, and logo for the channel that your show or movie comes on. Cut out their background to make them look better and import them into a Flash Project - remember, it is important to import only .PNG files into Flash so they will be symbols that you can correctly animate. Use your images combined with some descriptive text to create a commercial that closely resembles what you would see on TV. Finally, add audio of the show or movie's theme song to the background and incorporate other sound effects.
When you have finished your project, save it as a FLA file and name it lastname + TV (ex: furseTV.FLA). Every time you preview your animation, Flash automatically saves a .SWF file in the same location as your project. Submit only the .SWF file with the correct name - furseTV.SWF - using the form on the right. Use the rubric to make sure you are meeting all of the project requirements! |

Creature Creation
|
Using Photoshop, create a creature from two or three different animals. Merge the animals together so it seamlessly looks like a real animal. For full extra credit you will create two creatures and put them in a a believable scene. You will most likely use the magnetic lasso, magic wand, clone stamp and layer mask.

Historical Audio |
You have been hired by History.com to produce 1:00 long audio clip for their site. You will be using Garage Band to create these natural sound pieces. First you will find five audio clippings from a historical event. (WWi, WWII, Vietnam, a presidential inauguration, Sept. 11th, etc.) You will edit these clippings together to tell the story of the historical event. Also you will find music that is appropriate to the event.
Save the project as an Garage Band and export these Nat Sound pieces as .mp3. Last name +first initial + history .mp3 |
Animated Short
You have been hired as an animator to design a frame-based animated short by Onion Skin, Inc. They want you to create a 7 scene animation of a topic of your choice. (examples - kids going to school ona school bus, cars racing, skateboarder in a state town, surfer catching waves, etc)
you are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project. You will be creating a Adobe Flash animation with multiple scenes. You must have at least 5 scenes but you can have more. The size should be 550 x 400 pixels with a frame rate of 30 fps. This will be a frame based animation so you will have keyframes on every frame with slight movement each keyframe. Each scene must be at least 120 frames, but you will probably go much longer. |
