Assignment: Bring in a type of Halloween candy to inspire a 10 to 15 second animated Candy Jam.
2. "TRICK or TREAT" (partners)
Animated Halloween Spot: Use the Halloween candy that you and your partners brought in as inspiration to begin brainstorming. How can you use Halloween candy to animate a 10 -15 second animated spot to celebrate the season.
Take time in class to brainstorm with our partner. Together you should come up with a 6 panel scenario (or pitch) that you can post to Basecamp.
Be sure to exchange contact info with your partners. Also, you'll want to set some time aside for adding audio in Premiere.
