Lip Sync Project Name:______

STEP ONE: LOOK at the following mouth movement diagram to get an idea of the possiblities for your animation.

STEP TWO: CHOOSE either a song or joke to create a lip sync animation. (The song/joke must be approved by the teacher first and be appropriate for a Catholic school – no swearing or foul language)

STEP THREE: - CHARACTER DESIGN: begin DRAWING your Model Sheet for your character. You will be responsible for drawing them with all 9 different facial expressions as pictured in Figure 5.18 (No copies of pre- existing characters!)

STEP FOUR: SCAN your 9 different facial expression into the computer using the scanners. REMEMBER: scan each picture at 72 DPI Size: and NAME: each scan numerically 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, into a folder on your U: drive.

STEP FIVE: Using the Macromedia program Flash - Import each individual jpeg image to the Library .

STEP SIX: Once you have imported all the individual images begin assembling them on the stage area – one at a time – by dragging and dropping them - into individual key frames. REMEMBER: Save your working file often and even create a backup file.

STEP SEVEN: REFLECT on your animation once its finished by answering the following questions in your Media Journal: 1. What aspect of your animation do you find most successful and why? 2. What aspect of your animation do you find least successful and why? 3. If you could do this project again, what changes would you make to improve it?

/20 A1. The Creative Process: apply the creative process to create media works, individually and/or collaboratively; A1.2 develop plans, individually and/or collaboratively, that address a variety of creative challenges (e.g., reflect on and filter their ideas to select a feasible one as the basis for their plan; use storyboards, thumbnail sketches, production notes, scripts, choreographic notes, and/or notes to help develop their plans), and assess and revise their plans on the basis of feedback and reflection A1.3 produce and refine media art works, using research, exploration, input, and reflection A1.5 use an appropriate tracking tool (e.g., a sketchbook, a journal, storyboards, a checklist, production notes, a “making-of” video) to produce a detailed record of their application of the creative process, and use this record to determine, through reflection, how effectively they applied this process A2. The Principles of Media Arts: design and produce media art works, applying the principles of media arts and using various elements from contributing arts (dance, drama, music, visual arts); A2.1 analyse how media artists use the principle of hybridization, and apply that principle in the design and production of media art works that explore elements from contributing arts A2.3 analyse how media artists use the principle of duration, and apply that principle in the design and production of media art works that explore elements from contributing arts A2.4 analyse how media artists use the principle of point of view, and apply that principle in the design and production of media art works that explore elements from contributing arts A3. Using Technologies, Tools, and Techniques: apply traditional and emerging technologies, tools, and techniques to produce and present media art works for a variety of audiences and purposes. A3.1 explore a wide range of traditional and emerging technologies, tools, and techniques, and use them to produce effective media art works A3.2 create and present media art works that are appropriate for specific audiences and venues, using various technologies, tools, and techniques (e.g., projection, broadcast, the Internet, computer monitors) A3.3 communicate their purpose and artistic intention when creating and presenting media art works, using a variety of approaches, tools, technologies, and techniques B1. The Critical Analysis Process: demonstrate an understanding of the critical analysis process by using it to monitor the creative process, and by examining, interpreting, assessing, and reflecting on media art works; C1. Terminology: demonstrate an understanding of, and use correct terminology when referring to, elements, principles, and other concepts relating to media arts; C1.1 describe the stages of the creative and critical analysis process with reference to media art works, and explain and use correctly and appropriately a broad range of terms related to the conventions, concepts, principles, and elements of media arts when creating or analysing media art works C3. Responsible Practices: demonstrate an understanding of responsible practices associated with producing, presenting, and experiencing media art works. C3.4 identify a range of positive character traits associated with media arts production, and exhibit these traits in both their independent work and their interactions with others (e.g., show respect for their own work and the work of others and for their tools and work spaces; demonstrate sensitivity towards their subjects; show responsibility by completing tasks and meeting deadlines; display encouragement and support for team members)
