    Cyclical Hand-Drawn Animation



    After students get a taste for and practice in hand-drawn animation doing their flip books, they are then able to utilize their knowledge to make a larger, more complex animation.

    Students are shown examples of character studies, character model sheets and animated sequences. Hand-outs are given showing the walking cycles of animals and people so students understand how simple cycles of animation can be made. Because of the amount of drawing involved in this project it is worth twice as many points as a normal project.

    Each student's drawings will be photographed and put into iMovie so they can add sound effects and loop the animation. Neatness is important because if the drawings aren't sharp and clear they will not show up in the photographing process.

    Students must email the finished ".mov" file to Kulzer when it is completed.
