Two-person teams will create a stick-figure animation to demonstrate how two particular
characters would move (in contrast to the opposing character) – choosing one Hero, and the corresponding Villain from Project One. Each person in the team will be responsible for ONE of the characters. Characters may appear on screen at the same time (or you may make two separate animations). Each character must demonstrate emotion and motivation through color and movement. The background audio for this assignment should be a song from Project Five. Teams must present their work in lab, followed by a 5-minute Powerpoint explaining their creative process.

First: Gather one Hero and one Villain from Project #1. Make sure to use their shape and color
design as a base for your stick-figure characters.
A) Utilize TWO elements of color: Hue, Brightness or Saturation to create emotion
B) Utilize light/shadow to create Mood;

Second: In STYKZ, prepare a 90 second animation (if they are on the same screen together; 2 x 60 seconds if you create separate animations), demonstrating how the characters move. The animation can be simple stick figures, but must contain color and shape that differentiates the characters from one another. Animations should contain:
A) A demonstration of HOW your character moves in contrast to the other character
B) Contrast of Color and Shape to differentiate the Hero from the Villain
C) An element of “weight” or “squash and stretch”

Finally: Prepare a 5-minute Powerpoint presentation that
a) introduces your animations to the audience,
b) explains how you used color light and movement to differentiate the characters from each other and
c) explains how your animations attempted to address the concept of “weight” and/or “squash and stretch”.
