Instructions for using Windows Movie Maker
Follow EVERY instruction carefully!
Open Windows Movie Maker (Start > All Programs > Windows Movie Maker)
When Windows Movie Maker opens, on the left side of the screen there is a section called Movie Tasks. Under 1. Capture Video, Click Import Pictures.
Your files are located under the local disk on the computer. You can find them by going to My computer – Local Disk C – the folder with your name on it
Control + A will select all – Click Import
All of your images should be in the collections section. Press Control + A one more time and it will select all of the pictures again. Drag the images down to the storyboard at the bottom to begin making the movie. (This will take time to load.)
Now you should see a line of all of your images of your animation. If you click Tools on the top menu bar, you can find a list. First, click Options. Under the Advanced section, you can choose your time durations for your animation. Make them as low as possible.
Next, under Tools, click Video Effects. Towards the bottom of the group, there is an effect called Speed Up, Double. You must add this effect to ALL of your pictures six times. To do this, right click the image in the storyboard and click Video Effects. Click on Speed Up, Double, then click Add >> to put it in the next list six times. This will speed up your animation to the proper speed.
There is not a faster way to do this step. You must place that on all images.
Next, if you would like to have a title for your animation, it is under Tools, Titles. Give your animation a title and intro!

Reminder about Sketchbooks w/Examples
Sketchbooks are a major part of the art class. This marking period, the goal is to have one theme for all of your sketchbook entries.
Please remember that you need to have at least two done per week. The work must be ORIGINAL work - you may use other images for reference, however you need to change the image considerably to make it your own.
Ten sketchbook pages are due on Friday, Feb 8th.
Examples below.

Handmade Paper Animation
The 7/8 Art final last semester was the completion of their components for their paper animation. The animation is based off of the allegory that they had written during Mr. Ferguson's class, personifying different aspects of their personality.
These components are:
3 12x18 Watercolor Backgrounds (paper was provided in class)
5 Characters from their allegory with moving parts
In the case of not having five characters in their allegory, the students were require to make other objects in their story move, up to five.
This week we are shooting the animations. Important things to keep in mind from the presentation today.
1) Always use a tripod for shooting animation.
2) Keep your camera set on Manual. 1/80 Speed, ISO 800, f3.6. This is to assure that each image taken is exactly the same.
3) Make sure to zoom in enough that the rest of the table is not included in the images.
4) Tape your background down in one spot.
5) Make sure to "finish your sentence" before the end of class, aka, complete your thought. It will be very difficult to come back the next day and have to figure out EXACTLY where your characters were the day before.
6) You are working in groups for a reason. The artist is in charge of moving the characters. The assistants are in charge of helping organize the next move and shooting the camera when the artist tells them to.
The students need to make sure to grab the same camera.
We will be loading the images onto the computers into the 7/8 Art class folder under their own name.
