You have been hired as video animator by ILM. They want you to create an animated video advertisement for a beverage company. You are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project. Once complete then you should review the checklist for grading criteria before turning in your work. Complete and submit the online rubric for this project once it has been completed. Click on the link and follow the tutorial to create the Dancing Can After Effects project. You can alter the project any way you like, but must have a can that dances, an animated background, and animated text. The length of the animation should be 30 seconds long, but can be longer to fit your song if you like. You choose the song (must be school appropriate) and you choose the can (must be school appropriate). You will have to edit your song in Audition and make as a MP3 to import into AE. Make your audio fade up/down in Soundbooth/GarageBand before you export as an MP3. You must include a catch phrase or original slogan as well that must be animated. You can use the tutorial to animate the text or use any of the pre-made text effects in AE. Make a new project in AE, make a new composition with the NTSC DV setting (720×480) and change the duration to the length of your song. Then follow the steps in the tutorials.

Flying Airplane
Flying Plane Animation
You will need to downloand the plane and the helicopter to animate in a simple motion path in Adobe Animate. This will give you a warm up for animation. You will need to create a sky background with clouds that move using a classic tween with different levels of alpha. You will also need to add additional elements to give your animation a well rounded look. Each animation will need to done at 24 FPS and you will need to use a minimum of 60 Frames.
Look at the example to give you a general idea of what to do. HOWEVER, your animation should be much more complicated with additional animations and effects to give your animation depth and interest. YOURS SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE MINE, at all!
As you work, save your project and name it lastname + firstname + period# + flyingplane. When you are finished, export your animation to a .mov. You will turn this in by showing your animation to Scales
