My final is a combination of animation (using keyframes in Adobe Premiere) and a game. After the intro, you can choose which character to follow, and what choices they make. There are cards with QR codes to scan that take you to each choice, incorporating the game aspect. The YouTube video description also has links to each part for devices that can’t scan QR codes.
Process:
Planning:
I started by writing out a script for the adventure, with each choice written out in detail so I’d know what to sketch and animate. By the second checkpoint lab day, I had updates for how far the progress was for each part (written in bold)
Sketching:
I began by sketching out each frame of the animation, storyboarding the events. All but a few of the sketches are currently archived in my Google Drive.
Animation and Audio:
Each frame was drawn and colored, using separate layers for things like heads, tails, etc., to make them move. Backgrounds were added in the final, as well as music and sound effects. All the frames and backgrounds are also currently archived in my Google Drive.
QR Codes:
Using a website (https://qr.io/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw8diwBhAbEiwA7i_sJQuvjh1mG6iJMhw9icg51DuYdJCRok7TiWQTWNCDQ_jVz_JWcE61gxoCCOUQAvD_BwE) I pasted the links to each part in it, allowing me to make QR codes that should lead you to each part. I haven’t been able to test this part myself, as I don’t have a device that can scan QR codes.

Connect Four – Hannah Williams
Connect Four Rules:
- Normally, you aim to make a row of 4 pieces. HOWEVER…
- Instead of making a row, you will aim to make shapes out of 4 pieces
- Each shape is worth a set of points. Whoever has the most points wins!
- If you end in a tie, or neither player makes any shapes, start over!
Shapes and their points:
Parallelogram = 1 point
Square = 3 points
Diamond = 5 points
!DO NOT MAKE ROWS!
