Q. What’s a Rotoball?
1. Rotoball is a black ball that transforms into something different for each person who comes into contact with it.
2. Rotoball is a collaborative animation project developed by David Gran for Advanced Video students at Huntington High School in 2005.
You each will make a small movie but together they will make a big movie!
Check out this video from his students to get the idea.
Rules:
The animation must contain:
You catching the ball from the left side of the screen
The ball transforming in some way
You interact with the transformed object
The ball returning to normal
The ball leaving the right hand side of the screen
Each stop motion animation must be made from about 200 frames
1. Develop an idea which follows the above criteria. Type it out and post it to your blog.
2. Print out this story board and sketch out 6 stages of your story, write what’s happening in each drawing below. Remember, this is going to be a movie, so make some pictures far away to show setting and some close up to show details. Go over with pen so its dark, then scan the storyboard and post it to your blog.
3. Create your main character from a photo. Use the paintbrush tool and paintbucket tool to color over the photo, making it more cartoony, and more importantly, making it yours! I recommend drawing different limbs in different layers so that you can move them separately later (just like the last assignment).
From this:
To this:
4. Make your first background the same way, by painting over a photo. You should have at least 3 different scenes. Make your canvas size 6 inches tall by 8 inches wide.
