Image Ready Animation- April 5, 2011

(Students:  please be aware that when you are absent you have to make up all of the work that you miss.  This means classwork such as DIN's and TOD's.  With illegal absences you are not granted an extra day.  If you are legally absent, you get one extra day to turn in your assignment.  You will need to do back work outside of class because when you are in class you need to do the prescribed lesson.  Don't forget to check your grades regularly.  I am fairly consistent posting grades.)

Essential Questions:
How will ImageReady be used to create an animation?
What is due today and how will you label everything correctly?

1. DIN – online -   
Block 1-  What will you accomplish today?
Block 3,4-  Write a paragraph about the person in your image.
2.  Finish your Hockney/Cubist piece.  Is due 35 minutes into class.  See last class agenda.  If you finish early, please bring your flattened image and your animation image to Mrs.Thomas's computer to upload it there.
3.  Teacher demonstration for animation in ImageReady (see below):
4.  Student work at computers.
Create an animation that shows creation of your image: DUE AT THE END OF THE CLASS
Open Photoshop.  Click the very bottom of your tool bar.  You’ll go into Adobe Image Ready. 
Open your lastnameanimblock# image , the smaller version of your image with the layers intact.
Go to FILE, EXPORT, Layers as Files.  In the dialog box, under File Options, click CHOOSE, create a new folder call it hockneyframes. (to save each layer as a file.)  Click OK.  Close the open photo. 
Go to FILE, IMPORT, Folder as Frames.  
Open the ANIMATION window by selecting it from the WINDOW tab at the top.
Look at your LAYER palette.  If your white layer is not on the bottom of your LAYER palette you will need to drag it to the bottom.  Go through make sure your layers are in the correct order.  If you need to, and drag layers in number order from one to 16 (for example) to the top.
Keep the EYE on that bottom layer during this whole process, making it visible the whole animation.
You will see an animation box at the top and the layers in a larger box.  You’ll see an eye on the white background layer. 
Click on the 2nd animation slide, go to the Layers palette and turn the eye on for the bottom 2 layers. 
Click on the 3rd animation slide, go to the Layers palette and turn the eye on for the bottom 3 layers. 
Continue this same process until the last slide has all of the eyes showing.
On the ANIMATION box, select all of the slides (click first slide, SHIFT Key, and the last slide).  Click the tiny arrow next to the “O sec.”, select 1.0 sec. for your delay.  On the bottom Left of the ANIMATION box, preview your animation by clicking the ARROW.   Click on the bottom left arrow to make the animation go only ONCE.  
Go to FILE, EXPORT, and select MACROMEDIA FLASH SWF.  Name it lastnameflashhockblock#
IF you finish early, please help someone else in the class.


WHAT IS DUE at the beginning of next class? 
You will need to Print your lastnameflathockblock# photograph.
You will need to use your flash drive to give Mrs. Thomas a copy of your lastnameflashhockblock# (animation).  You can delete your original large resolution piece with all of the layers because it’s large and using room on your drive.

6.  TOD: What did you learn today?  What else would you like to learn in Photoshop?
