- Video 2: Animation Storyboard
- Note: Animation is one of the categories in the annual PGCPS Student Film Festival! Recordings that are well done may be considered for entry into the contest!Grading Rubric:
4 Points Storyboard dialogue has very few spelling and/or grammatical errors and is in the SPEAKER NOTES section. 3 Points Storyboard has one animal tell an animal themed joke to another animal, and includes the other animal's reaction. 3 Points Storyboard has a title slide, credits slide, and slight differences in characters and camera angles to emphasize that they are two characters intended to be played by the same person. - Today, Mr. Smith will show you how to use Google Slides to make a storyboard. (Here's the example I show in the video.)
- Follow Mr. Smith's directions to create a storyboard based on your script from Video 1.
- Click the "Share" button in the top, right corner.
- Click the text at the bottom where it says "PGCPS" so that anyone with the link can view your storyboard.
- Click the "copy link" button.
- Go to Canvas and paste the link in the text box before handing it in.

- Now that you've handed in your link, we can get started on the work!
- You will want this folder of cartoon animals as well as this folder of backgrounds.
- Download the two animals you're using in your Video 1 script and a single background.
- Add a title slide that includes the name of your movie IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS! (Movie titles are almost always in all caps.)
- Add a credits slide that includes YOUR NAME and the sentence "ART IS USED WITH PERMISSION FROM OPENCLIPART.ORG."
- Insert a slide between the title and credits, then add your background to it.
- The background might be too large for the slide. Mr. Smith will show you how to crop it.
- Add your animals to the background and place them where you want them to be at the beginning of your video.
- Duplicate that slide, then move the background a bit and remove the animal who isn't talking after the first line. Make the remaining animal fill the screen.
- Repeat this process for every line in your script.
- You will want this folder of cartoon animals as well as this folder of backgrounds.
