Digital Art and Animation
Class: Bobble Heads











These Bobble Heads were drawn
and animated using Adobe Photoshop Elements during Summer U
2008.
Rotoball is an international collaborative animation
project created by high school art teacher David Gran in
Shanghai, China. A group of our Dryden 3rd graders created
a 15 second entry for this project. This tiny animation
took over 2 months of recesses to create. The 3rd graders
drew 79 frames of animation. This will get pieced together
with other student work from around the globe to make one
movie. Each entry has the "rotoball" entering from the
left, transforming, and exiting to the right. The final
movie will be screened at the Shanghai Student Film
Festival April 18th. Great work kids!

Below are three class collaborative animations. Each frame
of motion was drawn by a student and sandwiched together
via a scanner and Photoshop. Look further down to see an
example of Rotoscoping. This technique is done completely
in the computer.
