Flash

For those of you who are finished with your flash tutorial I want you to watch these one minute videos by the artist Saul Bass. Your next project will be something similar to these title sequences so look for similarities in the videos and be mindful of Saul's unique, minimalist style because I want you to execute the same.

After you watch those video links I want you to watch an example that one of my friends made a couple of years ago, a title sequence made in Flash.

New Flash Project Sunrise

Since last class I literally explained instructions on how to tween 9 times in a row we are going to watch a tutorial in order to complete our next project. Your assignment is to watch parts 1 and 2 and create a sunrise which will be due at the end of our next class. Here is video one:http://youtu.be/D2U7Dh56CIw and here is video two: http://youtu.be/wsK7wPC1QW8. Intro videos to learning new programs are always boring but are worth it in the end for those of you who are creative and love to have an infinite number of different outlets to express yourself which usually translates into dollar signs down the road. Those of you that this does not apply to you are just going to be doing this because you don't want to get a bad grade. You are to save these files as "Sunrise_Lastname" last name obviously referring to your last name so do NOT save a file literally using the word "Lastname" because I will delete the file. Projects that are not labeled correctly will be deleted and not looked at.
