Saving your final Project

IPR, once you have completed your final project do the following:

1. Save the file as a powerpoint project: ex: cterleskicartoon
2. Put it in your member folder.
>IPR
>Members
>Your personal Folder

3. You also need to copy and paste the files you used in your powerpoint cartoon into that folder. If you have not embeded the files, the files will not play unless you do this step.

I am still missing final projects from:
- Andrew
- Lance
- Ty
- Jordan
- Ariel
- Danielle

Presentation & Cartoon Information

IPR - Be ready to begin presentations this Thursday - June 9.

I'm seeing a lot of creative and original work being done with your Cartoon Projects. Remember to try a combination of effects with your cartoon:

• Add audio and sounds (findsounds.com)


• Try out fireworks or photoshop as editing programs


• Try online photo editing programs like Picnik.com, Big Huge Labs, Dumpr.net, fotoflexer.com or others


• Go oldschool and use Paint


• Be sure to use a storyline that was provided in a previous blog entry - your cartoon needs to make sense!

Good luck and keep up the good work!

This is your final project and your FINAL in this class! Take this project seriously, because this project will really affect your grade. Work hard and come to class everyday. You will need the time!

STEP ONE: PROPOSAL
1. Detail your proposal for your cartoon. Hand this in before you begin to create your cartoon.
Include in your proposal:
- Topic: What is your cartoon about?
- Theme: What is the message of your cartoon?
- Characters: How many characters will you have? Who will they be?
- Introduction
- Rising Action
- Climax
- Falling Action
- Conclusion

STEP TWO: CREATING THE CARTOON
2. To organize your files, make a folder called 'Cartoon' in your IPR folder. Keep all your files (pictures, sounds, etc) in this folder.
3. There are a few ways to make a cartoon in powerpoint:
A. Old School - Move the character across the screen, frame by frame. Place your character on one slide. Copy and paste that slide. On the pasted slide move the character over with an ARROW key once or twice. Copy and paste that slide. On the third slide, move your character over once or twice with the ARROW key. Copy & paste. You will eventually end of with a whole bunch of slides, but when you hit play, the character moves.

B. Right click on the character, choose "Custom Animation". Choose Entrance, Motion Path.... you have many options.... you can make a character move in a straight line, diagonal, backwards, or you can draw the pathway. This is very very easy, but can get confusing with the ORDER of animations.... But you can figure it out!

D. A combination of both... I encourage you to try both ways of animation. Frame by Frame and Motion Paths.
