“Five Swingset Smiles”
Upload all of your 10 background story Illustrator files you created for After Effects and JPGS with the characters to this folder (do not make a new folder with your name)
Save your AI & JPG background files
CA1 Last, First Name BG1
CA1 Last, First Name BG2
Also save your AI & JPG files of your characters as
CA1 Last, First Name Characters
Finally, save only your self portrait vector AI & JPG file as
CA1 Last, First Name Self Portrait
When finished, take a screenshot of the AI & JPG files in that folder.
Now that you have created your own story, we will use our collaborative efforts to create one story with the class. Since it is a joint effort, you only need to make one background with a partner. The challenge will be to make sure the story has a similar look since all of the students will be contributing to it. Because it is a class story, you may use AI designs made from your previously made story or you can use someone else's design, just email them to be courteous and let them know. It is a big compliment if someone else chooses to use your design for the story. Although, make sure the backgrounds and objects fit the story description.
Talk and plan with the groups that have similar characters and scenes of yours and use collaborative efforts to make sure that they all match.
For the characters, we will all use the same or similar style characters. You may use these files to make your characters but then change the character to fit the description.
Sign up with a parter for one of the backgrounds. Your partner should be in the same CA class. Make sure you have uploaded your AI & JPG and then look through the files to see if you want to reuse any backgrounds, objects, or characters.
