Animation Assignment #1- DOT

Animation Assignment #1- DOT


Develop your idea
Make your DOT do something... it can turn into something, go somewhere, or... dot dot dot...

1st Play with toonator.com and develop your Dot animation idea. Try 3-5 variations of your dot on "Toonator" and post a least 3 to the Class Sharing Space. Then select your best idea and turn it into a flip book...

Flip Book:
You will be given a little flip book/note pad and a pencil. Some pages of the flip book may have graphics, some maybe blank. You can incorporate the graphics into the animation or not.
  • Save the first page for your name and title, but do that last.
  • Best to start from back to front.
  • Consider what you want your dot to do. Choose your favorite/best from your Toonator idea development. Maybe ask some of your classmates to help you decide from you top 3 ideas.
  • You can alter your concept from your digital draft if it works better for your Dot concept.
  • Draw a dot on the last page.
  • Then flip a page and draw the dot again, but alter the placement, size, or shape of the dot slightly.
  • Flip the page again and continue until your dot does something or goes somewhere.
  • To make the movement slower, keep the changes very tight/close to previous. Alternately, to make the movement more rapid, draw the dot further from page to page.
  • Have fun!
  • You can use color too!
  • Be creative! 
  • Remember that you have no limits other than your imagination. And the length of pages in your flip book.
  • Draw minimum of 50 pages...
