Horse Power

Facilitator: Dr. Christine Veras 

Semester: Spring 2021

Description: Each participant will create their own unique frame from the galloping horse animation. The frames of Muybridge’s Galloping Horse will be distributed among participants. 

Guidelines/Instructions: 

Week 1: The first 12 frames were assigned. The submission deadline is next Monday [Feburary 8th, 2021] @1pm. Here are the details about the submission: 

  • Submit 1 frame of the galloping horse
  • Aspect ratio is 16 x 9, resolution 2K   
  • File format PNG   
  • Name your file following the format with you name and frame number: LASTNAME_NAME_frameXX   
  • You can change colors, add elements, using different techniques, the sky is the limit! As long as you keep an identifiable shape (of the horse).   
  • Inspiration: Check the Johnny Cash Project to have an idea of a similar project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwNVlNt9iDk&feature=emb_logo 

Week 2:  This round we will continue to animate the galloping horse and you will be assigned different frames. There are different (and optional) guidelines this round. A color palette is suggested and you are invited to select a 0.5 second sound for your new galloping horse frame (this is a new experimentation that we are adding on to the project). Sound files should be submitted in MP3 format.
