Assignment 1

REMINDER >>>> HAVE 5 minutes of animation for sharing posted before class on Monday. Have at least 3 different examples.

Software: Adobe Photoshop (Timeline Animation)

Duration: 2–3 weeks

Final Output: Short looping teaser animation (5–10 seconds)

 Assignment Goal

Students will design and animate an original 8-bit, vintage arcade-style teaser for a fictional game. The animation should feel like it belongs on an old arcade cabinet attract screen—simple, bold, pixel-based, and nostalgic.

Students will demonstrate:

• Pixel-based character and environment design
• Basic frame-by-frame animation
• Visual storytelling through motion
• Understanding of timing, looping, and limited color palettes

 Concept Brief

Create a teaser animation that introduces:

• A game title
• A main character or enemy
• A simple action or loop (walk, jump, blink, attack, etc.)

Think: “INSERT COIN,” “READY PLAYER ONE,” flickering text, looping action.

 Project Requirements

Animation Specs

• Canvas Size: 1920 X 1080
• Frame Rate: 8–12 fps
• Length: 5–10 seconds
• Loop: Must seamlessly loop
• Color Palette: Limited (8–16 colors recommended)

Gabriella Anderson (Spring 2026) Intro.

 

Hello, my name is Gabriella Anderson. I major in Computer Art & Design. My focus is on graphic design, but I love learning new elements that align with my future career and expanding my knowledge. I am excited to learn animation this semester! Fun fact: during my childhood, I played games on Kizi.com using an old Apple iMac computer. My favorite game to play with my siblings was Fireboy and Watergirl.

Luca Bowling Intro - 2026

 Hello! My name is Luca/Luc, and I am going to be majoring in Animation, specifically hand-draw/2D animation! One fun fact about me is I like to play D&D and other TTRPGs so alot of my projects will probably revolve around those characters!
