First Animation in Film: FUNNY FACES

Mickey Mouse (Carnival) Mickey Mouse (Horse) FROZEN Summer Song For the Birds (Short Film)

Your Project: You will create your own basic 10+ frame animation using Excel (to create images) and PowerPoint (to animate the images). You will gain an understanding of how to rotate, reflect, translate, and dilate and image using its coordinates.

Process: Monday, Jan 27-Tuesday, Jan 28: Show clips of various styles of animations (Entry Event)and have students complete Transformation Investigation in Excel. Wednesday, Jan 29: Continue Transformation Investigation Thursday, Jan 30: Students will plan their animation frame by frame using a storyboard with at least 10 frames (Student choice). Animation must include at least 10 ordered pairs and three of the following: translation, rotation, dilation, reflection. Complexity in the animation will earn extra points (i.e. more than one object in animation, more than 15 frames, etc). Friday, Jan 31: Storyboard should be completed in class by end of period. Monday, Feb 3-Tuesday Feb 4: (Revision) Students will use post-it notes to make constructive comments on classmates’ storyboards. Students will make revisions to their storyboards. Wednesday Feb 5: Students input basic points in Excel Thursday Feb 6-Tuesday, Feb 11: Students use Excel and formulas to transform their basic points to achieve their desired animation as planned out in the storyboard. Wednesday, Feb 12-Thursday, Feb 13: Students insert each frame on its own page in a PowerPoint presentation (scaled the same with coordinate plane showing) and set up a slideshow with timings. Friday, Feb 14: Students load Excel and PowerPoint file to their Digital Portfolio.

Culminating Event: Animations will be played on the computer in the front office. AND Advisories will view animations and vote for their favorites in the following categories: CREATIVITY ACCURACY BEST OVERALL (extra points awarded to winners!)

Rubric: The student will demonstrate…. Distinguished (3) Proficient (2) Developing (1) Needs Improvement (0) Persistence Class time was consistently used wisely to complete the project. Class time was inconsistently used wisely to complete the project (1-2 days off task a majority of time). Class time was not used wisely to complete the project (2-4 days off task a majority of time). Class time was not used wisely to complete the project, and the project was never completed. Compliance Followed ALL project requirements. Followed MOST project requirements. Followed SEVERAL project requirements. Followed TOO FEW project requirements. Striving for Accuracy All math concepts were appropriately applied and all computations are correct. 1-2 math concepts inappropriately applied OR computed incorrectly. 3-4 math concepts inappropriately applied OR computed incorrectly. Five or more math concepts inappropriately applied OR computed incorrectly. Innovation and Creation Extreme use of creativity in design including color and artist inspiration explanation.

Student made constructive comments on at least 5 of their classmates’ storyboards. Student made constructive comments on at least 3 of their classmates’ storyboards. Student made constructive comments on fewer than 3 of their classmates’ storyboards. Time ManagementAll deadlines met.One deadline missed.Two deadlines missed. More than two deadlines missed. Actual Scores for the following criteria will be doubled: Persistence Compliance Striving for Accuracy

Want full credit for COMPLIANCE? Animation must include at least 10 ordered pairs (entered and clearly labeled in Excel) Animation must include three of the following: translation, rotation, dilation, reflection. Storyboard should have at least 15 frames. Formulas were used in Excel to transform points to achieve your desired animation as planned out in your storyboard. Each “frame” should be clearly labeled in Excel (color-coded would be best) with before/after points and “rule” used to transform points clearly labeled. Each frame in Excel has its own page in a PowerPoint presentation (scaled the same with coordinate plane showing). A slideshow is set up with appropriate timings. Excel and PowerPoint file loaded to your Digital Portfolio.
