First Diploma: Walt Disney Presentations Continued

Last week you all made great progress creating your presentations using the new Prezi software (if you weren't in last week, sign up and get an account here).

To improve the presentations that you created last week, make sure your presentation contains the following:

1. At least 5 points about Walt Disney's 'background'.
2. At least 5 points about his 'successes.'
3. At least 2 points about his 'failures'.
4. At least 5 points about how he will be remembered.

(If you don't have all of the following information on your Prezi, then please do some additional research, either using the internet or the library.)

In additional to the factual elements of your Walt Disney presentations I would also like you to include the following:

1. At least 1 relevant picture.
2. At least one video (either as a link or embedded on the presentation - If you are not sure Jordan Williams can show you how, as he did it last week!).

Flick Books

Turning your Flickbooks into a Video Loop

Using a video camera, tripod and Stop Motion pro capture each hand drawn image.
Start a new project in Final Cut Pro; make sure the settings are ‘DV Pal and Standard 48 Hz.’
You are now going to make a video loop of your clip. Select the original video clip, copy it, and paste it at the end of the original clip. So you have two copies of the same clip.
Select the pasted section and set it to play backwards. You do this by pressing ‘ctrl,’ and clicking on the clip. Then click on ‘speed duration,’ and click the ‘reverse clip,’ box.
Now you have a loop of one forward and one backward repetition.
To make a longer loop, copy both clips and paste them at the end of the first loop. Repeat this until the loop is as long as you want.

Pixilation Animation

I think this Pixilation video is pretty exciting:
