multimedia video- what to focus on this week!

1. Script your multimedia video. The script details every line of text on screen or spoken, every visual, every action. Create a finished version of your multimedia video using only words. Anyone should be able to pick up your script and envision your video. Be detailed but also be concise! check out the sample in the blog post below. Post your script on your blog. Due this Thursday 03/04/08

2. Storyboard your video. Create a finished version of your multimedia video using only simple drawings. Focus on the information being communicated through the drawings, not the artistry of the drawing. Check out the sample in the blog post below. Post your storyboard on your blog Due this Thursday 03/04/08

3. Create the visual assets for your multimedia video. That means hand drawing images, creating vector artwork in illustrator, manipulating images in photoshop, designing product and company logos, creating motion type in after effects, modeling and rendering out 3D elements in Maya, shooting or collecting video footage, manipulating video footage in after effects, or any number of other processes. Start generating the elements that you will be working with.
