You are creating the backgrounds for this checkpoint and your partner is writing the story. If you want, you can submit this checkpoint up to 24 hours after the due date/time of this checkpoint if you want to wait for your partner to finish the storyline before you draw your backgrounds. Each paragraph of text in their storyline represents a different scene and there are ten total. Remember, you are not allowed to meet physically with your partner for this project but you can meet online if you are efficient online.
Directions
In your CA Book, sketch ten scenes, one on a separate page, to match your storyline. Watch the story above which is a good example of creativity. Make sure your backgrounds are the following:
You will use about ten to tell the entire story so choose wisely. You do not need to color your sketches, just draw them with pen, marker, or press hard with a pencil so it shows up clearly since you need to take photos of each background and later insert them into Illustrator to help you as a guide when creating your backgrounds.
When you draw, make sure you use arrows to show the animation of the characters and backgrounds you plan to use. When you are finished, draw an idea you have for your title page. Example.
When you take the photos, make sure there is plenty of light and they are clear (important). After you take the photos, rename them bg1, bg2, bg3, etc. in the order they would appear in your story. Post the photos to a new Picasa album. In the caption, write bg1 (for background 1), bg2, etc. In a comment, describe which parts of your background and objects will be animated and what sound effects you will add for the scene.
Sunset: The sun will set in the background while changing the sky to a sunset
Tree Branches: The wind will get stronger & the branches will shake from the wind
Car: The car will move down the street from left to right while the wheels spin
(separate comment)
Sound Effects: birds chirping, car engine starting, coughing
Post
Insert the Posterous link to the Google Doc of the story that your partner wrote and the Picasa link to the photos to Posterous and the link to the spreadsheet.
