Storytelling

Homework 2/16/23


Follow through with any suggested changes or additions to your cleaned up storyboard. Modify the storyboard as needed and import the additional frames etc into your image stack that you will then import into After Effects.

Once in After Effects, create a 10 to 20 second sequence that runs the frames one at a time and in order. Attempt to address the length and timing questions that arise as you consider each segment. We will discuss rendering and uploading at the start of next week's class. Be sure to bring to class the After Effects AEP project file, the Photoshop Image Stack file, and any additional footage files that may have been used in your animation.

Follow this link to setup a free Vimeo Basic account for posting your video homework assignments, as per our syllabus. Without the ads or visual distractions of YouTube, Vimeo offers a professional setting for showcasing your animation portfolio. The Basic account is free but has a monthly upload limitation of 2 videos. An upgrade to Vimeo Plus will be required to upload larger or multiple projects - it has a 5 GB limit and offers unlimited bandwidth at a cost of $12 per month (or $7 a month if paid $84 annually.)

We will discuss these options in class AFTER you have already setup a Vimeo Basic account.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When following the link above, you are NOT interested in a free trial of one of their upgrade tiers. You want the small Vimeo Basic link that is hidden in plain sight in the top heading that says "Choose a plan. Try a plan free for 30 days, or get started with Vimeo Basic." .
