Animation (Wick Editor)

What is Wick Editor?

Wick Editor is an online site that allows you to draw animations and cartoons and turn them into a movie.

THE CHALLENGE: Use wickeditor.com to draw and an animated cartoon frame by frame like the pros do! Think of this project as creating a digital flip book.

THE DETAILS:

Watch the 5 minute tutorial to get started (below).
Using wickeditor.com and a drawing tablet, begin drawing your animation. This is much like creating a digital flip book. Draw a character and scene one frame at a time. The nice thing about creating a digital animation is that you can copy much of a drawing from one frame to the next.
Be sure to save your work at the end of each day.
When finished, be sure to export your animation as a Mp4 file so it can be put in your google drive and then onto your presentation slides. The tutorial on how to do this is below and here.
