There are myriad ways to attack the problem. Essentially all we need is a way to string a series of individually drawn images together. We could use Flash, Fireworks, Imageready, and others. Over these 10 weeks we will attack the animation problem a variety of ways.
Today we will use Photoshop (and maybe some Flash).
Helpful links: www.adobe.com/go/vid0027 for an introduction to the video layer.
The Exercise:
Using either flash or photoshop create the following frame by frame animation.
Exercise 1
1.a. Some thing traverses from left to right
1.b. Some thing else traverses with a different kind of locomotion and interacts with it.
Exercise 2
2.a. Rotate a head (species of your choice)
2.b. The head does at least one expression
