Description:
In this project, children?s drawings are?used to create a 3D animation. It?begins with a workshop that asks children a series of questions about a?story: Who is this story about? What is?it about? Where does it develop? The?workshop results are used to prepare a?script, then the script is adapted for a?storyboard, and the children draw the?characters and places where the story?happens.??
Portions of the children?s drawings (for?example, the legs of one drawing, the?head of another, and the ears of a?third) are combined and scanned, then?colored by the children. The colors are?used as textures for elements of the?story, and the scans are used to make?the 3D forms.??
Finally, the storyboard scenes are prepared for animation, and characters,?locations, cameras, lights, and other?elements are organized to form the?final edition of the story.??
