*Santa's Bad Trip*

Today's project will be due at the end of class on December 15th for A4 and on December 16th for B6. The name of the project, like always will be entitled first with the class your in A4SantaGifLastName or B6SantaGifLastName and ending with your last name. The project will be a gif, as indicated by the projects title, so you will need to activate the "motion" workspace which is located inside the Window menu tab located at the very top of the Photoshop window. If your time line is not showing up then you will need to access it and it can be find within the same Window menu tab at the top of the screen.

The project is all about Santa in order for us La Sallians to more enjoy the season. Many people around Christmas like to enjoy a cup of cheer, or many cups of cheer, before retiring to their vehicles to drive home. Now we all know that driving while impaired is an absolutely stupid choice but we need to spread this message to people who may not understand this. Santa, for the sake of this project does not understand this notion so we are going to use him to make a public service announcement. Use your creative freedom here to illustrate this message in any way that you want while meeting the following criteria.

The animation must be between 20-30 seconds which will be shown at the bottom of the animation timeline in white font. There must be at least 5 scene changes (different backgrounds) which can be anything that you want. You must show Santa making his bad inebriated choices (driving or flying in his slay while impaired). Santa must get busted by the cops or be shown in jail in the animation to drive home the point that driving while impaired is not a good idea. You must use text in the animation to say that you shouldn't drive/fly while impaired.

You have three classes to work on this so make this as good as you can within that time. This project's point is to make you more familiar/comfortable with key frames and using the scrubber in the timeline because we will be using it everyday in other programs when we switch to Motion Graphics in the second part of the year.
