Lev Manovich ---> manovich.net
Articles ---> Understanding Hybrid Media
Graphic Design: structuring information in order to communicate
Motion Graphics: animated, non-narrative sequences that appears as part of larger piece ---> opening credits of "Catch Me If You Can"
Hybrid Media: previously separate media ---> typography, graphics, photography, animation that is now merged into one hybrid media which is the norm ---> Coldplay's music video "Don't Panic"
Deep Remixability ---> remix culture

Class Animation 01.03.2010
The above images shows the animation that I created today in class. Essentially, the pantagon is a button that once you click on it, a short animation brings the letters of the word 'sound' onto the stage. The button also trigger music to start playing.
Class Notes 01.03.2010
Objectives Learned Today in Class:
Sound ---> new layer ---> import ---> import sound to library ---> drag sound to stage
Background Sound - can be used just to have background music playing during animation
Button Sound - can start or stop sound with clicking a button
To get change status of button sound ---> Sym. Edit Mode --->Properties ---> Sync ---> Start/Stop
Streaming File from Outside:
- has to be mp3 file
- has to be linked with where the sound file actually is
STORYBOARDS -
Storyboarding: an exercise in effective communication -- what is there and what is not there -- balance between information and communication
Evidence of Research: inspiration for animation -- other Flash animations that have things you want to do in your own animation
Planning:
- should include a frame by frame breakdown (or scene by scene)
- MUST HAVE timetable!
- could also have a flow chart
Design: make sure it looks professional and is easy to navigate
Production Timetable: shows what you are going to accomplish week by week
Aim/Rationale: explains what your project is all about and what you want to accomplish
Things that NEED to be in the Storyboard:
- production timetable
- aim/rationale
- final visual style -- including fonts and colors
- description/narrative of navigation
- show 'hot spots' of what is actually being interactive
