1. Animation Programs: Scenarios and Storyboards
Alice

2. Step 1: Design Decide on the problem to be solved Design a solution
Often the problem to be solved is given to you by your instructor, team leader, etc.
Other times, you get to make it up!
We will practice both
Design a solution
We will use a storyboard design

3. Example The scenario is: The problem is:
Several snow-people are outdoors, on a snow-covered landscape. A snowman is trying to meet a snowwoman who is talking with a group of her friends (other snowwomen.) He says "Ahem" and blinks his eyes, trying to get her attention.
The problem is:
How can we create this animation?

4. Create Initial World
Active Learning: Students create initial world. Illustrate use of quad view to position objects relative to one another.

5. Storyboard Option 1: Sketches
None

6. Storyboard Option 2: Screen Shots
Initial scene
Snowman tries to catch snowwoman’s attention
Snowwoman looks around

7. Storyboard Option 3: Text
Animation Artists sketch their storyboards
You may not have such expertise, so here is a textual form that can be used:
This is like a "to-do" list.
The Learning to Program in Alice textbook puts a textual storyboard in a box.
Do the following actions in order
snowman turns to face snowwoman
snowman “blinks eyes” and calls out to the snowwoman.
snowwoman turns around.
