The Movie

Your team will make a 28 second movie with a beginning, middle, and end.

 

You must have credits.

You must have a person disappear.

You must use "keying" technology.

You must use the "lightning" effect.

You must have a person hang upside down.

Plan before you start.

More to come

Sprite

Make a movie with the star of the fade girl video. Cut her out so she is opening her arms, and copy this short video 6 times. Export this as a movie, and recopy until you have 5 seconds of the girl opening her arms. Change the time so it looks like she is flying.

Use the 16 point garbage matte and the chroma key to isolate the girl. Put her on a background and produce a movie which has a beginning, middle, and end.

Watch the "Zit Fairy" and copy that if you do not have a good idea

Fade Girl

Download Movie for fade on the skydrive

Cut out a frame of the background and stretch it.

Fade using keyframes and the fade tool

Put a crawl and a roll on the credit/title.

Premier: Fireball!

1. Down load the firball with Tessa (yes firball) video from the public skydrive. The hyperlink to this is on the pages section of the blog.
2. You need to adjust the size so it fits into the "box" on the video preview screen. Do this by grabbing the anchors of the video and shrinking them, much like you are shrinking a picture with free transform.
3. Cut the video to a good starting point. Lead the action.
4. Lighten the video. (video effects, color correction: brightness and contrast)
5. Cut the video up using the razor tool into proper segments
6. Move the segments you want to have the fire ball to a different video track
7. Use lens flair, lightning or both when needed. Adjust them!
8. Add title.
9. Add credits.

Save, save Save! Premier will crash. You will lose it all.

Dreamweaver and pictures

On a new page in Dreamweaver, place your 6 pictures you created previously.  Space them evenly on the page and have a named anchor which takes you to page one.

You should have two pictures of DreamWeaver on your blog.  You no longer need widgets.

A wow factor of 5% is needed for full credit.

Action Script is so cool

Where the movie can be seen:


http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-downunder/programming-my-button/


 stop();


button.addEventListner(MouseEvent.CLICK,movie);
function movie(e:MouseEvent){
gotoAndStop(1);

}

Buttons

Buttons work like a movie in flash.










They need action script, which we will dabble in.









DO. Make a button with all four stages.









Go to insert and create a new button. Name the button.









You will have 4 requirements: Up, over, down and hit.









Up is the normal stage of the button, over is what the button looks like when you go over it, down is what the button looks like when you click it, and the hit area is where the button is "live"









Put keyframes in each of these stages and change the button.









Press F9 to open the action script. Copy and past this action script:









var numPressed:Number = 0;



btnCount.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, countUp);



function countUp(evt:MouseEvent):void { numPressed++; trace("Button was pressed " + String(numPressed) + " times.");}









Show the teacher what you have done for credit. Put on your blog "Success!!" when complete.

Combining two or more Pictures in Photoshop

Combining two pictures in Photoshop.


Key words:  Rasterize.  Auto Align.  Eraser tool.

Let's set the scene. You are taking a picture of a rock band and you need everything to work out so you can make your millions.  But you only have a short amount of time and very little battery power.  The rock band is all set up, but on all four shots you make, someone is always acting up…that is to say three out of the four on each shot looks good, but there is always someone sticking out their tongue, looking cross-eyed, picking his nose or otherwise acting up.

Also, when you take the picture, you do not line up completely.


So enter Photoshop. You know of a way you can combine pictures and therefore eliminating the bad person. You do this and all works out.


So…how do you do this?

Break up into groups of three or four and assign the facilitator, the scribe, the devil advocate and other. Take four photos of your group, each with someone looking bad. Mr. Mills will use his camera for this when you are ready, or you may use your camera or phone.

Now, go to the internet and find out how you auto-align pictures and painting to eliminate sections you don't want. Do you need to do this more than once?  How will you do this to all four pictures


Post your team name and members and positions. Also post your 4 pictures and the final merged one.


Note: Do NOT use a cut out tool for this project. It will not get the desired effect.

Rubric: 

Are all 5 pictures posted?
Do you show the problamatic elements?
Did you eliminate the prolamatic elements?
Did you post all names and posititions to your blog?

Paper Due!

Greetings!  This paper will be used as a TEST GRADE so make sure you do it!

Write a two page paper in APA format (look on the Internet if you forget) over the purchase/gift of your first computer.

Write a bit about your computer.  What type of processor does it have?  How fast is this compared to how fast they are now?  Elaborate.

Go to bibme. org and set up a bibliography page.  Use this page to put some isbn numbers of some books you find on the Internet on this site.  Save this in apa format.

Turn this paper in OR post it on the pages part of the blog (so one has to click on it to see it)

Brush ...downloaded

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 Brush Day Two


Remember, if there is a tornado go to Cowboy Stadium because there will be no chance for a touchdown.




Brush day TWO: Go to deviantart.com or somewhere else on the web and download brushes. Install them this way:



1. It may be automatic.



2. start, my computer, local disk, program files, adobe, adobe photoshop, presets, brushes, and drag and drop your brush file into this file.



3. Make 10 compositions changing brushes, opacity, size, and flow.



NOTE: For full credit: 1: Use the brush to cover all of the background. 2. Use Opacity. 3. Use Size 4. Change the mode 5. Change the flow 6. Write the name of the brush somewhere on the picture.

Photoshop! 3 pictures today

Post a picture showing the following with the Pen Tool:


Picture 1:

Show that you can cover a circular object using shape layers. Make the fill a bright pattern from the given swatches.

Picture 2:

Show that shift adds to a shape and alt takes away the shape on the pen tool.

Picture 3:

Use the magnetic lasso tool to cut out an item from a picture from the internet. Make a new layer and past that item 10 times. Use the

Rule of thirds.

Merge

Your post should look like this:

Mail Merge

You are in a negotiation room where two opposite entities are fighting and no one is leaving until issues are resolved. You have an idea. If you create a list with 15 names in Excel.

Then you write a document in word with a watermark which has a greeting, a color background (see if you can use this feature, you may not be able to,) a border, a picture from the Internet in the shape of a heart.  The document should be written in  a funky font and explain how you will save the world.


Now you use mail merge to merge correctly the two documents.


In your groups, create the excel document and the word document. Mail merge the two and show Mr. Mills the final project.
Print it to the XPS printer (which just saves the document) and take a screen shot of it, post it, and blog about the experience.

Make sure you name your team and assign members roles. Facilitator, scribe, devil's advocate, gatekeeper.

It's OK to share information between groups.

Word 07

Today I will give you a few terms from word 07. Learn what they do and blog about them. We will have our student led open discussion over them.

Rocket Launch

Today we are going to learn about action script 3.

An Event Listener is an “if/then” statement which tells flash things like “if this event happens, then do “x.” An example would be if you clicked on a button then the event listener would tell the button what to do.

Like go to another frame.

AS3: In this class, to use action script 3, create a new layer on your timeline and label it AS3.


Do the following:

Open flash and make these layers:

AS3
Rocket
Button
Sky

Copy and paste the action script below in frame one of layer one.... by clicking on the AS3 layer and pressing F9. Paste the script into the large text box area and then close the editor.

Make a movie clip symbol of a rocket with moving flames coming out of the tail. The rocket may look like you want it, but it must have at least red and orange flames, and at least three fins. Name this movie clip Rocket.

On the Rocket layer:
Put a blank key frame on frame one, and a key frame on frame two. Put the rocket on this layer and move it from the bottom of the page to the top of the page on a guide. Remember, you are just making a simple motion tween with a guide so you will have to think about how to do that! It is easy!

On the button layer, make a button symbol,name it ”button launch.” This button must have a new layer named TEXT and you must have the words “Go” on the “up” stage through the down stage. Do this by inserting a key frame at each state of the button, and change the state of the button at each stage ( color, or shape )

Put an instance of the button on the stage ( drag a copy of your button symbol to the scene 1 ). Look at the properties inspector box at the bottom of the screne. Now click on your new button once and You must tell flash what you want, and you want to tell it to line everything you’ve done up to work, so in your action script, you put “launch_button” so type that into the rectangle under the word “button” at the bottom of the screne area, and it must be lower case letters.

On the Sky layer, Import/create a sky background. Remember to use keyframes the length of your movie! The sky must have at least three different elements, make it interesting.

On the AS3 layer : Do the following

Click on frame one of this layer, then press F9. This opens up the action script dialogue box.

Copy / Paste this into the text dialog box area.



stop( );

launch_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,launchRocket);

function launchRocket(event:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}


Look at the script. It uses an event listener with directions to tell flash that once the button named launch_button is pressed, to stop what is going on and go to and play the second frame, which starts the rocket.



Everything should work when you "test" this movie. If there are problems, wine LOUDLY to Mr. Warren and say “this doesn’t work 10 times “ in a high pitched voice BEFORE he can say anything.

Check your button properties and make sure the instance of the button is named correctly. ( lower case letters with the underscore )

NOW: Snazz it up. Make your rocket beautiful by using Photoshop to create it.
For you GT people, I will define beauty, but I will tell you this, it will take time to create. Have the fire FLOW. Make Giraffes waving.

Make your button move so you can have a game trying to hit it. Make the rocket have a button as well which ejects the driver.

What will you do to it?

Enrichment: Make your own button when pressed blows up a building.

Project: 3 days in flash.

buttons

Buttons work like a movie in flash.

They need action script, which we will dabble in.

DO. Make a button with all four stages.

Go to insert and create a new button. Name the button.

You will have 4 requirements: Up, over, down and hit.

Up is the normal stage of the button, over is what the button looks like when you go over it, down is what the button looks like when you click it, and the hit area is where the button is "live"

Put keyframes in each of these stages and change the button.

Press F9 to open the action script. Copy and past this action script:

var numPressed:Number = 0;
btnCount.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, countUp);
function countUp(evt:MouseEvent):void { numPressed++; trace("Button was pressed " + String(numPressed) + " times.");}

Show the teacher what you have done for credit. Put on your blog "Success!!" when complete.

Illustrator 3d

Goal: Make a dart board with 10 3d push pins.


Make a push pin shape like this one shown. It is actually in two pieces and when done, the left sides of both objects line up as one straight line. (The revolve effect will create the 3d around the left most axis.)

Group them in the correct spot. (object, group)

Effect. 3d. Revolve.

Now undo the 3d effect and and copy this graphic 10 times, change color on each one, change the 3d effect on each one, and put them on a dart board you create. Post this on your blog.

BuBBleS AgaiN!!!!

To Make the bubbles just follow these steps.

All it is: 2 circles, feather, 3 bananas, and 4 highlights

1. Make a circle and color it purple.

2. Duplicate the circle (control c, control v), lighten the color, and shrink it a bit

3. feather it at .64 (effect, stylize, feather)

4. place the small circle over the other circle

5. make three “bananas” with the pen tool. Fade one from white to purple, fade another from purple to white, and color the third one the same purple as the first circle. Remember the pen tool! Click a node holding the alt button so you can "start" a new line.

6. make four highlights (rounded squares) with the pen tool and use the gradient tool to fill them.

7. group all of the pieces together so they move as a single unit.

8. When creating another bubble, play with the color scheme: Edit, Edit Colors, recolor artwork. Then play with it.

9. copy several times.

This is an art and not a science...but just because the project doesn't look excellent does not mean you should not strive for excellence.

Once again, Mr. Warren was on x-box live until 4am. He kept on saying "just until the sun comes up..." His log in is Longhornfan22222, so look for him.

The line tool and the rectangle tool!!! YEAaa!!!!!!!

The Line Tool and the Rectangle Tool

Lets create some art today!

NOTE: If your line keeps disappearing check to see if you have your stroke on!

Do you have your stroke on? Ask your neighbor!

Using the above tools create a piece of refrigerator quality art work with the following:

3 Flair tool instances (use the flair tool three times. Manipulate it!!!)

10 straight lines with 10 different qualities (some thick, some thin, some thicker, some green)

4 different colored rounded rectangles

4 different colored ellipses

4 different sized polygons

5 curved lines using the arc tool. Reflect at least two of these (right click, transform, reflect)

5 different colored and pointed stars (left click, adjust the number of points)

3 spirals

1 grid with solid filled circles in the corners

1 polar grid with words around the inside or outside

2 Closed colored spirals:

To close them….make one, then copy it (click it with direct selection tool then alt and drag) then shrink the new one (proportionally: selection tool then hold shift when shrinking) then with the direct selection tool close both ends (make a box around the end then object…path…join.

Color these closed spirals different colors (direct selection tool make a box around the spiral…then use the paint bucket.)

Mr. Warren played Modern Warfare 2 until 4am this morning on X box live. Ask him about it.

I want to remind Roger that it doesn’t get any better than this, and that he’s very excited to be here. Ask him to say HOOOOO RAAAAAA! When you see him today....
