Exercise 1: Blink
Complete the exercise started in your lab section that uses the eye drawing created with Adobe Illustrator from homework #6 to make the drawing blink.
Exercise 2: Cut Up Cinema
• Create photographs of yourself or friend(s). Be sure to photograph against a high-contrast solid background to make it easier to “pull off” the figure.
• In Photoshop cut the person out of the image to create a digital puppet.
• Use Puppet Warp Tool to animate the cropped photography
• Duplicate your person into various frames.
• In each frame create variations of the person using the Puppet Warp tool.
• Open the Timeline panel and create a “Frame Animation”.
• By presenting each layer on different frames create an animation of you or a friend in various positions.
• Add background layers or more people or text… Have fun with it.
