Going to have students continue working on their puppet warp animations. Needs to be 20 frames at 12 FPS, and then they need to work on the audio. I forgot to mention I have a free storyboard sheet in my TPT for download as a PDF.

For my smaller groups they will learn how to record their own audio and foley work using Audacity. Why Audacity instead of Adobe Audition. Audacity is so easy to use, FREE, and launches quicker on the computers then Audition. You have students trying to run Premiere and Audition on the computers and it is a recipe for disaster. Audacity launches faster and it’s simple interface makes it easier to learn. Plus if it is good enough for Marques Brownlee  then it is going to be good enough for what we need to use it for. I brought my USB microphone to school, and we have some headsets that will record audio as well. It’s harder with those because you have to make sure you have the adapter on it the plug and then they need to be plugged into the correct jacks on the computer.

Post-production is always difficult for students because it isn’t everyone’s thing. If you don’t do that step then you have an animation that is boring, even with the best visuals. I’ve got an advanced student that is blowing it out of the ocean with his ability to edit and create his own tracks. Pretty amazing stuff.
