  4. Click Create

  5. This is cute for pictures, but right now, choices are limited. Animation studio is a great place for storyboards, summary, sequence, etc. Just FYI… Here is a link to Domo

  6. Any set of characters you choose will allow you to see all other characters. You can switch between all characters, so it does not matter which one you pick. It will start you with a background for that set of characters, but that is easily changed. NOTE: If you start a slide show, save, and log out, then the next time you log in to edit, your choices of characters will be limited to those characters and scenery you have used.

  7. This is your main creative screen. The next few slides will look at each part.

  8. Choosing a different theme will change the selection of characters, backgrounds, and props. Characters Talk/Thought Bubbles Backgrounds Lighting Effects Music/Sound Effects Props

  9. This is your storyboard. If you have used MovieMaker, this will be very similar. Move within your storyboard or add scenes Control the duration of your scene by dragging the boarders right and left. If you want a quicker action to happen, make the scene shorter. Add music, and sound effects. It works the same way as the scene duration control. You can get your own from your computer, or the net.

  10. Let the fun begin... Some objects in the scene can be moved, resized or even deleted. Add your characters, and resize, reorder, and even flip your positions.

  11. Actions will vary depending on the character. Some actions are customizable ( ). Some actions are also REactions.

  12. Movement allows you to really bring life to your characters. You can even resize the movement to create perspective. Move the transparent clone anywhere on the screen.

  13. Facial expressions can be used in conjunction with movement and actions.

  14. Add props for a more dynamic storyline.

  15. There are thought bubbles and speaking bubbles. You can change the color of the font, the font color, and the background of the bubble. DON’T forget to make your character talk by selecting the actions.

  16. Change the background scene with a click of a button. You can also add motion to some of the objects in the scene.

  17. Play around with the effects (FX). The tabs on the right side of your scene allow you to edit, and remove the effects. You can zoom, have lightning, words flash, and even cause an earthquake!

  18. Each theme has its own sound effects. You can customize the duration in the bottom on the storyboard. You can also control the volume by editing the sound. You can also import sounds from your computer, or use the search to find other sounds.

  19. Preview your animation at any time to check for timing and motion issues. DON’T FORGET TO SAVE OFTEN!

  20. After logging in, go to My Page to see your current animations. If you scroll down, you will see your animations, you can edit, delete, copy, and share your animations. When you publish your animation, or your students publish, make sure to make them PRIVATE. That way you have control.

  21. http://domo.goanimate.com/ Domo works the same way as GoAnimate. You have to sign up for an account with them. The choices are very limited, so I recommend this for students in K-2. It would also be a good starter site to use for short animations with all grade levels.

  22. Things to remember! • If you use a set of characters often in one movie and close it out to come back to it, your choices will be limited to those themes you used the next time you edit it. • Duration of slides is important for movement, and dialogue. Select this carefully. • Publish your finished animations as PRIVATE. • SAVE, SAVE, SAVE
