Animate a Conversation
Animate a conversation— via kinetic typography— between two different persons. The conversation can be humorous, dry, dialogue from a movie, or between to important figures.
The audio can be extracted from YouTube. The intent of this early-quarter assignment is for students to acclimate themselves to the Adobe After Effects interface and tools. Additionally, animating an existing conversation requires students to consider pace, animation, and on-screen composition for impact.

Television bumper
Design a logo for a fictitious television station, CPB Corvallis Public Broadcast (with the content modeled after PBS) and build an 8-12 second television bumper for that station.
At the heart of this assignment are two considerations: 1) Students have to design an identity, logo, and overall look-and-feel that is modeled after PBS; this requires careful consideration of the video and audio; and 2) Animating to the logo to complement the look-and-feel of the video.

Title-sequence
Re-design a logo for a reality TV program (e.g. The Great British Bake Off) and produce a 22-30 second title-card or -sequence opening for that show. Use a different audio or music to accompany your opening. The title-card is new, different, and graphic-heavy. Students may use up to 2-3 snippets of the show, but the snippets should not be the main visual component to provide context (i.e. cold opening).

Animated information graphic
For this design exercise, students were tasked with making a statement about a social topic of their choosing. Students researched their topic and collected data to strengthen their argument. Students then proceeded to design and produce a 1-minute animated information graphic for social media.
