10:05 Today’s Notes & Attendance

  • Today is a Wacky Wednesday
  • Call Backs: Aidan(History) Ben Martin (College Essay)
  • End of Quarter 1 is Friday. All work must be turned in by 3pm. Then a zero forever.
  • CCV Lunch – Go back to yesterday’s dayplan for the link to lunch if you missed it
  • Sweatshirt Paper Designs are past due. I gave this assignment out almost two weeks ago! Just a quick drawing to see where your ideas are. Then you go to digital – which is due on Monday!
    • Every year students complain about the designs – why? because not everyone gets one in on time for voting. Don’t be that guy. Be on time.

10:10 Last Looks – Organizing for Screening

10:20 Halloween Projection Loop Screening

Each Team will need a spokesperson

  • Tell us about your organizational process
  • How you split up the work
  • What worked well
  • What was challenging
  • What you’d like to do to improve your projection loop

Viewers – your feedback is important. We’ll use Socrative.com (student login) to provide feedback. Share two stars (things you liked) and a wish (something you think requires improvement or maybe an opportunity to improve). You will all provide feedback!

11:00 After Effects – Sleek Slideshow in AE (Part 3 of the Slideshow Series)

By now your should be wrapping up with the LTA Photography assignment. Details are in Google Classroom. There are a number of deliverables for this project so make sure you review.

Ok, this demo is a little more heavy lifting than yesterday. However, once the initial set up is complete, we can quickly assemble the rest of our photos.

So, let’s dig in to After Effects and look at some custom slideshow options we can create using our AE skills. If you have a couple of pictures to work with, great find them now. Otherwise, you can use my examples and since you downloaded to your desktop yesterday, this should be a good place to start. We will be creating multiple compositions in one composition.

I’ve written up the process for your reference. Make a copy for your files.

If there is time we’ll also play around with making a light leak.

The Font I am using is ITC Avant Garde

Alternately (and a level up) is this nice tutorial using the 3Dspace in After Effects for a picture slideshow


How to Learn from your Mistakes and Level Up Assignment

People often describe failure as a teachable moment— a necessary stumble on our way to improvement. Let’s watch a short Ted Talk animation about how learning from our mistakes isn’t always easy.

Next, look over your assignments from the Quarter. Is there one that can use some more improvement? Use this short window to look back at your work and figure out which assignment could use a little more attention. This might be a chance to take an assignment to an A.

Pick One (and only one) assignment (if you are all complete). Rework and resubmit. You can email me the assignment directly for grading. You have until the end of the day Friday for this revision. Use your time well. It will not be accepted after 3pm Friday. I have a Level Up Dropbox for you to drop this in Google Classroom.
