PROJECT: Stop Motion Study
DUE: Thurs 2/10
(terminology from artist David Crawford here)

Using Adobe Imageready, create a simple animation that functions well as a loop - when we watch the sequence, we may see repetitions, but these repetitions must be possible to read as distinct events in time.

The goals of the project are:

  • further mastery of Photoshop, digital imaging, the Macintosh environment
  • addition of Adobe Imageready to your technical skills
  • experimentation with the illusion of movement
  • exploration of the loop as a formal device
  • further exploration of modes of depicting time
  • effective connection of form to content

Your final should be in the form a .gif formatted image, with the largest side no larger than 400 pixels, a resolution of 72 pixels-per-inch. Post your file to the WEB folder of our server, and create a opic that links to it, as we did in the last project.

Most importantly, make sure your chosen subject matter relates to our form in an interesting way.
