James Addison

Step 1: You will receive an email that looks like this: Click on 'Get Started'

Hello everyone, to prepare for our Animated Storytelling studio, we will need to prepare our computers and software so that we're ready to jump into animation day 1! Over the course of the studio, we will be using several Adobe software products, including Photoshop and After Effects. Your task prior to the studio's start, is to install both pieces of software on your computer. 

Please follow the 4-step instructions in the presentation above, and if you have any questions, you can email Molly at molly@nuvustudio.org

You have all been added as students to our Adobe license, so you should now be able to create a new account to gain access to all of our apps!

Getting to know each other

Peat Duggins

Hello Fellow/Future Animators!

Your first assignment is here, and it is an easy one: Make a short video to introduce yourselves to me (your coach, Peat), Maddie (assistant coach) and each other.  It needn't be fancy, just answer the following questions...

1-Who are you?

2-What grade will you be starting next?

3-Which pets (if any) have you been quarantined with (and can we see them on video)?

4-And finally, is there an animation (movie, music video, commercial, youtube short) that you think everyone should see?

Looking forward to hearing your responses.
