Periods 3 & 7:
Today you'll complete your Animation Script.  Follow these directions:

• Retrieve your copy of the storyboard, and a pair of scissors and glue.
• Cut out each frame of the storyboard, including shot types, and attach in chronological order to the left side of the Script form.
• On the right side of the Script form, add in your 3 layers of Audio as appropriate:

1. ADR (Dialogue)
2. Foley (Sound Effects)
3. Background/Soundtrack

• When complete, hand in with team members' names on the document.  Be sure to clean up after yourselves.

Next, you'll be completing a "Practice Sequence" shoot, to get the hang of shooting multiple frames for stop-motion.  Follow these directions:

• Check out a camera, tripod, and new SD Card.  Label the card with team initials.
• Teams will work in the cafeteria area.
• Devise a simple, 3 to 5 second motion sequence.  For example, a person walking, or two people meeting and shaking hands.
• Your team will shoot between 10 and 15 frames per second of "real time" action.  This requires basic math and a bit of practice on your part, to determine how you will "break up" the action.
• Once complete, you will download the footage into your DP's computer and return equipment.
• I'll demonstrate how to "speed up" your footage to evaluate the quality of your work.

Period 5:
Today is the last day to work on your sets and characters.  Anything not completed today will result in 5 points off PER DAY until it is finished.  We begin shooting tomorrow.
