Change in Homework for Thursday

no animatic for Thursday's class. We need to step back and get the imagery/graphics, type, color palettes set. And you need to finalize your concept and what you want people to "take away" after they see your motion graphic. what do you want them to remember? do? how do you want them to feel? ie: empowered. what is your information/stat... how will you show it in a graphic, dynamic manor?

1. refine your storyboards, make the "frames" in the proportion of 640x480 pixels (points) not inches. refine images, type, color, information, and ADD at the bottom of the frame how you want the transitions to work.

2. Project Brief/Process Book a doc (indesign or illustrator) that follows this (will be handed in as a pdf at the end of the project)
-- cover
-- title page: your name, project name, semester
-- project description
-- your fact/stat/piece of information
-- associated word list
-- key words (defined)
-- define: emotional qualities on the content and the context of a message. For example, if the content of a message is optimistic, the motion’s emotion must convey a behavior that people can identity as being positive. Yet, the behavior would ‘remind us’ rather than ‘tell us’ in a literal sense.
-- define: personality: attributes such as color (literal and figurative), size, type of imagery and typeface…
-- define: rhythm: where should you pause for dramatic effect, which words do you stress, what voice quality do you use, etc.
-- to suggest list (design objectives)
-- to suggest (mood/feelings, actions, reactions...)
-- color palette
-- image palette: images/graphics that you are going to use
-- moodboard (as it was today)
-- storyboard 1
-- storyboard 2
-- refined storyboard
