Goals
Students will create a animation advertising an organization using complex shape tweens. This assignment is for 2D animation.
Skills
- Shape tweens, shape hints.
Assignment Details
Create and advertisement for an organization (zoo, biopark, aquarium) using shape tweens to animate between objects related to the organization.
Your advertisement animation needs the following parts.
- A background that does not change. Background objects can be in a single layer or multiple layers.
- Text explaining the organization. The text does not need to animate.
- Shape tweening object
- One main object will animate
- The main object will morph between 4 different objects during the animation using shape tweens.
- It starts as one object and animates into the 2nd object, then the 3rd, 4th, and finishes by morphing back into the 1st object.
- This object is a complex outline of an object without any details.
- Use shape hints to make the shape tweens clean.
- Object details
- Include details of the object that do not animate.
- Details should be in layers other than the main object.
- Details should give the object appeal.
- Animation length
- The animation should be around 100+ frames long.
- It should be long enough and play at an appropriate speed to see the animation clearly.
- One main object will animate

| Shape Tweens Animations |
At least 4 objects have shape tweens between them. Shape tweens are between complex objects. Shape tweens have been cleaned up using shape hints. The animation returns to the first object and repeats. The animation is long enough and plays at a speed appropriate for the animation. |
At least 3 objects have shape tweens between them. Shape tweens are between somewhat complex objects. Shape tweens have been cleaned up using shape hints, but could be cleaner. The animation returns to the first object and repeats, but not cleanly. The animation is long enough and plays at a speed appropriate for the animation. |
At least 3 objects have shape tweens between them. Shape tweens are between simpel objects. Shape tweens have have shape hints but are not clean. The animation does not return to the first object. The animation is too short or plays too fast or slow to see things properly. |
| Other Details |
All animation objects have good details to highlight the object. Drawings have good appeal. A simple background helps highlight the advertisement. Text exists to explain the advertisement and is readable. |
Most animation objects have good details to highlight the object. Drawings have OK appeal. A simple background exists but does not help highlight the advertisement. Text exists to explain the advertisement and is somewhat readable. |
Object details are very simple. Drawings do not have good appeal. A simple background exists but detracts from the advertisement. Text exists to explain the advertisement but is not readable. |
