Collaborative Animation by Art 41

Involuntary Movement (Seinfeld Redux) from jeanrobison on Vimeo.

Here  is the collaborative animation created by the Intro to Computer Graphics class at Long Beach City College. The Fall 2010 Art 41 crew were each assigned ten frames from this television clip to be processed using Adobe Illustrator. The inspiration comes from thejohnnycashproject.com. The footage we enhanced is a clip from Seinfeld: the frozen yogurt episode.

Sorry for the delay! I reposted with  (a little) better video quality.

Using Illustrator to make an animation

Here is just one animation tutorial for Illustrator. Our project is unique in that it is collaborative and will have a static, printed outcome as well as a jittery, moving group animation but this tutorial may help you get started.

Consider that your personalized frames will be viewed every tenth frame in the final animation. This means your work will be seen roughly 3 times per second. How will your work stand out in the crowd of frames composed by the class? Your printed piece will have a unique composition that disrupt the "timeline" of sequential images. What way will you display your detailed work on the animation frames?
