- All applicable work you have accomplished this quarter (Photoshop pictures, B&W photography, photocubism, alphabet, illustrator/ indesign projects, etc)
- Add transitions between pictures for smooth transitions
- Have the entire video timed to music of your choice (school appropriate of course)

There will not be a demonstration for this project. iMovie is a very intuitive program. Open up the program and find your way around. I will be willing to help with any specific questions.

After you have completed the bouncing ball tutorial, create your own animation with flash. You can still use the ball if you want, but make it more complex. Have it bounce back and forth or off a wall, add a second ball or other object, bounce it into a basket, etc.
