  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

It primarily refers, of course, to film forms of “neomedievalism,” or cinematic remediation of medieval subject matter and literature. However, I hear in it, too, a film made in the Middle Ages, if that were possible, most resonantly in the title of the 2014 anthology The Medieval Motion Picture,1 as though illuminators were somehow bringing their illustrations to life within 1.

  • CEET Itunes U Moviestorm Made Easy
    Moviestorm Made Easy– from the Community of Expertise in Educational Technology – CEET http://ceetbc.ning.com/ CEET iTunes U Moviestorm Made Easy This collection is derived from a March 2013, CEET MoodleMeet: Moviestorm Made Easy, originally designed by David LeBlanc with Clint Surry and additional content by Elizabeth Wellburn. You can go to http://ceetbc.ning.com to participate in a community where these ideas are being discussed. This document is an introduction to using the software “Moviestorm” to enhance learning. Moviestorm is a fast, fun, easy software application that lets anyone make 3d animated movies on their computer. The CEET Meet in March, 2013, showed how you can make a simple movie from start to finish. It covered set building, character creation, directing, dialog, filming, editing, visual effects, sound and music, titles & credits, and rendering. This document gives some context for why you'd want to do this, examples of completed student projects and highlights of the processes involved. This document also links to detailed explanations provided by the software creators. Everything you need to get motivated and to start creating! A Case for Filmmaking in the Classroom Gail Desler has written a compelling post describing six reasons you'd want to use filmmaking as a tool for learning in the K-12 classroom. She cites six important reasons: • Addressing ethical use of the Internet • Promoting critical media consumption • Providing students with multiple ways to access core content Page 1 Moviestorm Made Easy– from the

  • Free Applications
    1 Free Applications Hundreds of Apps with Potential to Enhance Professional Development, Technical Assistance, and Dissemination Activities and Results By Larry Edelman [email protected] Note: This document (v. 9 – 2/28/11) is updated frequently. Updates and related discussions are posted at: http://exploringtech.wordpress.com/ Why should we use technology for PD, TA, and Dissemination? • In particular, technology can help us to efficiently, effectively, and creatively: 1. Create content; 2. Share knowledge; and 3. Build and support relationships. We should consider ALL applications that are available to us. This includes applications that are expensive, moderately priced, inexpensive (shareware), and free (freeware). This includes software that we download to our computers and software that runs on the web. Some expensive applications enable us to us to communicate in very unique and effective ways, while the functions of other expensive applications can be easily replicated, or even improved upon, by the use of freeware. Likewise, some free applications are all we need to get the job done, while other free applications have significant limitations or involve the use of paid advertisements that detract from our purposes. I use some relatively expensive applications for tasks such as video editing and authoring online learning modules. But I also use many free applications for things such as document sharing, web conferencing, video conferencing, media transcoding, audio editing, screen capturing, media posting, and building and hosting wikis, blogs, and web sites. Why, in particular, should we explore free applications? • Sometimes, free applications are all that we need. Why purchase or license expensive software when there are free solutions? • The budgets in PD and TA programs are being dramatically reduced.
