//Hand-Drawn Animation, Stop-motion Animation and Claymation, Video & Audio --- Materials and Equipment/Resources://

Some Video Projects (2nd - 12th grade) []

Adobe Aftereffects (also Epson or Canon scanner) useful for creating composition to precise dimensions, importing jpgs/scans. (chronological file names), great for editing sequence of jpgs. (scaling and positioning within composition frame) advanced use can involve key framing, layering photoshopped sequences, multiple videos together 2nd & 3rd grade - hand drawn animation scans from numbered drawings on notecards

3rd & 7th grade - stop motion animation and claymation jpgs from photos with digital cameras [] []

iMovie useful for editing video footage (speed) adding sound files, exporting ("share video")good compression/resolution video

Audacity [] free software with good quality sound recordings from computer mic (export wav. or mp3 files, can be imported into iMovie) some projects combining video and sound... [] [] []

Epson Projector and adapter chord for Mac Airbook $450 (useful for doing animation displays as well as resources in place of smart board, eno board in/during my class) [] projected clear resolution up to 40ft.

Digital Cameras and Tripods- $90 Nikon Coolpix (simple enough for 3rd graders to manage, usually have to remind them how to view footage) Also useful for live video recording [] tripod $25 (essential for holding camera still with 3rd graders) []

//Digital Photography, Alternative Photography (Cyanotypes, Vandyke, Albumen printing,) Solar Plate Etching --- Materials/Equipment/Resources//

Some Photography work (7th - 12th grade) [] [] (Photo club....Epson Scanner (for film) and Digital Printer outsourced to digital photo lab, but here is $150 Epson document and film scanner... []

regular acetate used for hand drawn transparency at most any art store.... Transparency film for printing digital negatives -- can print from any inkjet printer [] also needed glass with some pressure to create contact print (used cheap picture frames from 99cent store) but for nicer professional ones.. [] sunlight exposure or blacklight exposure (blacklight purchased at lighting store on Canal St.) higher the wattage faster the exposure time. albumen prints about 12 minutes from one "Sylvania 350" 20W bulb (google it)

Cyanotype, Vandyke, and Albumen Printing kits all purchased from Bostick and Sullivan (comes with instructions) []

Photoshop --- used to create negatives/positives from digital photo files image>adjustments--->black & white---> adjust filter.......image>adjustments->invert

Solar Plate Etch (need positive instead of negative to create a positive image) Plates purchasable on [] as well as Dick Blick online.... etches with positive contact printed under blacklight....process/instructions available on solar plate website above. (Also will need ink and etching press for printing)

iPhones good for prints and digital negatives (Apps...Faceswap, filters, slow mo video....students know more than me)
