Interactive Multimedia Production: Course Description
Adobe Flash Player is at the heart of this course. Students either buy the program or download a free month's trial. Professor Andrew Walker leads students through the development of animations and vector graphics using the program Flash. Students also learn how to use the programming language ActionScript.
Students first learn the basics of drawing, lighting and shadow. The next step is to create a 'tween' or animation using lighting and shadows. The course goes on to consider onion skinning, easement and movie clips. Assignments and a final project are designed to test students' skills and understanding.
The course includes lectures in streaming or download video formats, PowerPoint presentations, handouts, spoilers, assignments and many links to instructional design and multimedia art resources. To learn more about Macromedia Flash, look at the interactive multimedia production course page.
