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...
