 * Project One: Create a story about a historical figure - **

The participants will take their story and create a 5-10 frame storyboard based on what they have written drawing out key points in their story using Flipbook-ish.

The Storyboard will be exported via Image Sequence and either printed or imported into MS Word or another word processing program where participants will add text to their storyboard frames.

Participants will take their storyboard and expand it to a 30-60 frame animation, showing only the movement of the story using Flipbook-ish or Advanced-ish. (no text)
