Ode to opposites -
flipbook / animation

description:

Create the flipbook:
Choose two words with opposite meanings, then create a flipbook and a twenty second sequence that shows a logical and interesting transition from one word to the other. You can use up to two colors. No photography or illustrative imagery is allowed. Rule lines, shapes, and fragmented letterforms are encouraged. The flipbook must consist of no less than 16 images. These 16 images must be arranged in order to create the illusion of action.

Create the animation:
This is part two of the flipbook. You will use the ideas from your flipbook and translate your idea to digital media. Time represents itself differently in the digital space. You are expected to recognize the differences and adjust your animations accordingly in order to keep your idea from the flipbook consistent with the digital animation.

You will need to...
a) make sketches of the concept
b) build the flipbook as a lo-fi prototype
c) objectively review your prototype
d) note keys for digital translation
e) build the digital version

  analysis:  
  >> create and show thumbnails
  >> In multimedia imaging the most challenging aspect can be the sequencing of an idea and maintaining message consistiency and clarity.
  >> intended to encourage your experimentation and problem-solving abilities
  >> gain a better understanding of the concept development and motion
  >> The project must reflect an central and communicative idea or thread.

note:
The repeating of the images will be important to the recognition of these frames. Selecting a sucessful idea while meeting the necessary physical parameters of the assignment demonstrates the to use the static image to transmit a motion related idea to the viewer.
