Creating Dynamic Motion Graphics and Video for the Web
Have you ever wanted to tell your story with video? YouTube has set the stage for the power of video on the web. Learn the basics of combining video and animation techniques to get high quality graphics and video and then upload these videos to  YouTube.com to share with a larger community.

Students will learn how to produce digital video, edit the content and incorporate supporting motion graphics with sound. Graphic Design fundamentals will be stressed to ensure overall visual cohesion.

Software: Apple iMovie, Apple Garage Band, Adobe Fireworks, Photoshop Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash.
Hardware: Digital video recorder, iMac G4 and a flatbed scanner.

Directing this program will be Bryan Catron, instructor of computer science and Ross McClain, assistant professor of art.
