1 2 ANIMATION V - ROCK OF AGES PROJECT The student will need: The DVD or VHS Walking With Cavemen The following is a Study Guide that will take the student through the steps necessary to completely storyboard a four to five minute animated film. The Study Guide assumes the student already is somewhat masterful at drawing. The student should have done Animation I-IV, first. Each student will need an animator s desk of some sort, many pencils, and animation paper, as well as scratch paper. There are many research materials required, both books and films. Access to the Internet would be useful. The student is to do each step thoroughly, and in sequence. The student should complete a lesson per day. The course should take approximately hours of study, depending entirely on the student. There are 69 lessons. There are no tests. There are 20 long lessons, ranging from 2-15 hours each. All essays are to be kept by the student in their workbooks. A student may (and should) continue into the next lesson if he or she completes a lesson early. A student may (and should) continue into the next lesson if he or she completes a lesson early. if a lesson takes longer, it can stretch over two or more days. This is education, not a race. NOTE: THE SCRIPT IS FOUND AFTER THE COURSE, IN THIS DOCUMENT. NOTE ON READING AND VOCABULARY When asked to read, please try not to coach very much, or do the student s reading for him. IF HE STRUGGLES WITH A WORD, help simply, but also write that word on a list of words for the reading program! NOTE ON DOING THIS COURSE WITH A GROUP Every step in this course can be done by an individual and by a group. NOTE ON KEEPING RECORDS When asked to write down an answer, please have the student write down at the top of his answer the name of the course (Ambitions & Plans), the lesson and exercise number. NOTE ON CRITIQUE Please do NOT critique the student's work in any way. Please allow the student to do their own work without helpful suggestions, hints, and critique. We're interested in what the student thinks and creates.
2 3 NOTE ON LINKS Many links are provided on this course. They may not still be live when you do the course. You may need to finds new links to look at some of the materials. NOTE ON WORD COUNT FOR ESSAYS - The suggested amount of words for essays are just that - suggestions.

6 7 PART B THE MESSAGE OF THE SCRIPT LESSON # 4: 1. UNDERSTAND THE WORD: Message The one idea the author wants the audience to understand and agree with. Protagonist A character in a story who agrees with, or represents, the message of the story. Antagonist A character in a story who disagrees with, or represents the opposite of the message of the story. Neutral A character in a story who has no opinion of the message of the story. After reading the script, decide WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE SCRIPT. The message is the single idea the author wants to communicate to the audience, and have them understand it and agree. It should be able to be stated in a single sentence. Write it down in big letters at the top of the first page of your script. Then write it alone on a piece of paper and post the message on the peg boards you will be working on later. 3. EXERCISE: Consider the main character, the cave man. Is he a protagonist (in agreement with the message, or representing the message), an antagonist (in disagreement with the message), or is he neutral (having no feelings about the message?) Write down what you believe is his designation, under the message on page one of your script. 4. EXERCISE: Do YOU agree with the message? Decide yes or no. (If no, you would usually not do the piece.)
7 8 PART C - CHARACTER DESIGN - FACE LESSON # 5: Read the script again, looking only at the main character, the caveman. What is he like? Start with his APPEARANCE.

Post your drawings on a peg board. (There should be three.) (Sound off, start at about 39 minutes.)
12 13 LESSON # 16: 1. EXERCISE; Look at all three drawings you ve made. Which outline best fits the appearance and character traits? Which outline can you most easily draw over and over?
