Lydubs1405241537 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Create an Animation With Powerpoint Get your idea for the animation. Estimate how long this story will take you and how many slides it will be and see if you still feel like doing it. If you still want to try, create the layout for the first scene. Draw whatever background is necessary for your story. Create/Draw the character(s). For the second slide, you don't have to redraw the whole thing. Just duplicate the slide and move whatever needs to be moved for the desired animation! Continue duplicating and repeating these steps for however many scenes you have. Watch your animation often to make sure it is exactly the way you want it and you didn't mess up somewhere. Watch it by holding down the space bar or the right arrow key. You will see each frame in succession. (If you have a slow computer, it may look choppy. Choppy animations can be fixed later though. If your computer is very fast, you might want to add extra frames so you can read any text you might have your characters saying and it won't look like everything is rushed.) When it is done, call your family into the room to marvel at your work! If you just want to leave it at that, fine. If you want it on Youtube, however, you can download "Cam Studio". Cam Studio records your computer screen and it can ever record sound! If you have a webcam, the sound recording feature can be very useful! Tell Cam Studio to start recording then click "View Slideshow". Then play your slideshow animation by holding the spacebar until it is done, then stop recording. If you want your characters to have voices, you can set Cam Studio to record the sound from your webcam. When the animation is over, stop recording and wait for Cam Studio to process it. Ones with sound will take a little longer. Watch and edit it. You can edit out the part where you are clicking "View Slideshow" and the black screen when it is over. Also if your animation was super fast, you can slow it down. You don't need a complex multi-million dollar movie editor for this. You can use Windows Movie Maker, which is what I did. Then you can put it on Youtube for all to see! If yours is especially long, you can upload it to Google, which is what I did with one of my extremely long ones. Here it is by the way, if you want an example: http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/video.google.com/en//googleplayer.swf?d=en&fs=true It is an animation about British Slang that I did for my People to People project.
