Introduction to Conceptual <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the conceptual unit, we learned to develop our communication and abstract thinking skills by using unconventional forms to express ourselves. This unit focused on taking risks with our art in order to convey our opinions. We developed technical communication skills by learning how to use professional equipment and applications like DSLR cameras, audio recorders, a variety of Adobe applications, Pro Tools, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animation Works <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phenakistoscope Wheel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For our first assignment, we created an early form of animation known as phenakistoscopes. A phenakistoscope is a rotating disc that shows images through slits. When the disc is rotated quickly and person looks through the slits, it creates the illusion of motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We created these by dividing a paper disc we cut out into 16 parts. We drew a frame in each part and then attached the center of the disk to a stick so we were able to spin them and see the animation. To create the digital version, we rotated the disc in Photoshop and turned it into a gif. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoetrope<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A zoetrope is another early animation device. It is a cylinder with slits in it that has images on the inside. When it is rotated and a person looks through the slits, it makes it seem like the images are moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
