Assignment - Make VIDEO!!

Create a 30 second video using still images you gathered for your "Documentation and Spatial Annotation" project (from here forward called your "DSA".) You will do this by using the Animation palette in Photoshop. This video should attempt to visually highlight the specific phenomena that you have been attempting to capture for the "DSA" project. Please do not make arbitrary edits to accomplish this assignment. Instead, think about how you can communicate to the audience your line of investigation through photography and animation.
You must fulfill the following requirements:
  • Use a minimum of 5 of the still images that you took for the "DSA" project. You may use more than five, but use a curatorial eye and only use the images that you think best convey your idea.
  • You must add text in at least one place
  • Consider rhythm and tempo as a way to direct the viewers attention (what is the focus of your investigation)
  • You must save your raw animation as a .psd
  • You must export your animation to a .mov file
  • You must post your video on an online video management site like Vimeo or YouTube
  • Last, you must embed your video into a post on your blog

I have created step-by-step tutorials for each of the new skills above. Please use them to guide you through this process.
