Practise your animatin skills on one of these:

  2. Sketch out a storyboard and mini-script to tell the story/scene
  3. Decide on the following
    1. How many scenes?
    2. What moving part do you need?
    3. What backgrounds do you need?
  4. If you are using an animation app that uses the camera, make your backgrounds, characters and props for your scene (make them simple, big and bold)
  5. Create your animation!

Share your animations

  1. In JIT5 click “save as gif”.  Or you could include your JIT5 animate in a mix page with text and audio.
  2. Gifpain you can save as a .gif file then upload to j2e files
