This hands-on workshop guides educators and students through the process of setting up an animatic and teaches them how to create a short story using traditional and computer-aided methods. The presentation includes:
? Story ? how to structure around a given theme or music.
? Storyboarding ? written as well as drawn visualization.
? Key framing ? posing out the characters and scenes.
? Timing ? guessing at what it should be (theory vs actual).
? Premeire ? using the software to marry the visuals with sound; putting
?theory vs actual? to work.
? Scheduling ? how do you estimate the time it takes to do the work?
? Budgeting ? if this were a real job what would it cost?
? The business ? how students should think about marketing themselves.
The workshop also teaches the teachers what they need to set up a similar situation for their own teaching purposes. It includes samples of completed works and works in progress, to illustrate the process more completely.
