final course result
Assignment Brief:
Aims:To create a 20 second animation using drawings on paper
To develop skills in anticipating the timing of an animation
andworking to a set soundtrack
To learn how to use an exposure sheet for timing
Brief:Each student will be supplied with a soundtrack of 20
seconds duration. Thesoundtrack will contain a series of discrete
noises, with no speech.Students must come up with a visual concept
for an animation to match the
given soundtrack. The concept may be narrative based or
abstract.Students may NOT use any other soundtrack than the one
supplied.The frame rate is to be 25fps (television)
Step 1. Students must create an exposure sheet showing the
noises on theirsoundtrack, and the proposed animated movement to
match it, identifyingkeyframes. This must be submitted for approval
before beginning to animate.
Step 2. Upon approval of the exposure sheet, students are to
draw the requireddrawings for the animation ON PAPER (NOT on the
computer!), either using an
animation disc with pegs, or a flipbook pad.Use your exposure
sheet as a guide for the timing of the drawings. Dont
forgetregistration marks for the animation drawings.
At this stage, testing the timing on the computer is NOT
PERMITTED!(Although you probably would as a professional
animator)
Step 3. Upon completion of ALL drawings required, scan the
drawings and
assemble them in order using Flash.Add the original soundtrack.
This is where we see if they match!

Notes:- Dont forget that you are trying to work out the
TIMING.
- You dont need to have a new drawing for every single frame, or
every twoframes. You can hold a drawing for several frames, or loop
drawings for severalframes.
- Try to use the exposure sheet to figure out and plan which
drawings arereally necessary
Assignment Deliverables:
Please submit - Completed .swf or quicktime movie or animation-
Working Flash file .fla- All exposure sheets
- All original drawings

You will be assessed individuallyon the basis of:- Evidence of
planning animation ideas using exposure sheets (40%)- Legibility
and usefulness of resultant exposure sheets (40%)
- Creative and innovative solution to brief, quality of design
and artwork (20%)
