Stop Motion Animation Bump

This will be the first of many creative endeavors for this class.
With any creative project, you will need to take the time to think about what your final product will look like.
I cannot emphasize enough how important the 'Pre-Production' portion of any project you create in this class, will be.
You will use our class time today to ponder what your Video Bulletin Bump will look and sound like.
My expectations are higher for this class, this year, than what they were for my last year's Computer Animation Class.
Remember, these Bumps will be seen by the entire school, so make them visually interesting and entertaining. This is an opportunity for your creativity to be appreciated by the masses.
While you finish brainstorming today, think hard about what type of Sound Effects (SFX) we'll hear in your Bump, along with what song you will add to your final edit.
You can also spend time building your sets, backdrops, or characters out of any of the materials you are using. Once you have completed that, you can begin to film your Stop Motion Animation.

YOU MUST CLEAN UP THOROUGHLY AT THE END OF EACH CLASS PERIOD BY POLICING AND CLEANING YOUR DESK AND THE FLOOR AROUND YOU. YOUR SUBSTITUTE WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE UNTIL HE IS HAPPY WITH HOW WELL YOU HAVE CLEANED UP YOUR AREA.

Your Brainstorm or Storyboard will include the following information:

1. Explanation of what will happen in your Bump.
2. What props/action figures/materials will you use?
3. What type of SFX will we hear?
4. What song will be used as your Soundtrack?

Your Video Bulletin Bump will be 10-15 seconds long.
