JavaScript Students will deconstruct a more complex Web site and experience some hands-on exercises. Emphasis will be placed on real-world tools, techniques and strategies for managing medium to larger Web projects. Dennis Zagurski Computer animation uses sequential images to animate and create special effects for artists, films and cartoons. Most filmmakers and animators now use computers as their animation tool. With this course, students create action using the Macromedia Director program on the Macintosh computer.
Participants use the computer to draw, paint and sequence figures in transitions.
Storyboards, character generation, sets and stages are a part of their work. A scanner is used to facilitate backgrounds. Students also incorporate ways to loop film, show transparencies and stretch and squeeze images. Final results will be shown on the last class date. Students receive a videocassette copy of the class animations.
