Assignment 1- DOT

Animation Assignment #1- DOT

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

Experiment with frame to frame animation with toonator.com and develop your Dot animation idea. Try 3-5 variations of your dot on "Toonator" and post your favorite to the Class Sharing Space.

Toonator Animation

• Start with a dot on frame 1
• Then go to the next frame and draw the dot again, but alter the placement, size, or shape of the dot slightly.
• Flip the frame 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 frame to frame.
• Have fun!
• You can use color too!
• Be creative! 
• Remember that you have no limits other than your imagination, and the length of frames in your animation.
• Draw minimum of 50 frames...
• Post your best animation to share with the class: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDtAjQpT3Ofr_pkD3r1pZsPUueuCQCZrB9dGz0Q_pmQ/edit?usp=sharing
