Next Animation Project: SCNN

You will create two different animations for this assignment.
One will be a 20-30 second open for SCNN. This must include music and sound effects. The content is open-ended but the last few seconds must say "SCNN."
The second assignment will be a 20-30 second SCNN commercial for anything school related. This could include a dance, a game, a club, an event, or anything else. Content must be related to the specific school related item.

Your animation needs to include:

• Music or sound effects
• Keyframe animation
  
• Shape tween
• Motion using the motion path
• Text that says either "SCNN" or the information for the school club, group, or event

Most of these projects will be between 240 and 400 frames each.
