Introduction To Motion, Shapes, Shape Behaviours, And The Kaleidoscope Effect
REQUIREMENTS:
The goal of this assignment is to begin to get you familiar in Motion with creating shapes, apply shape behaviours, and using exact math numbers/position/scale to create a kaleidoscope effect.
Instructions:
- Follow along with the following video tutorial…
Motion Lesson 03.501 Shapes
Motion Lesson 03.502 Kaleidoscope Effect
… and at the end of the tutorial, create a .mov that puts your own UNIQUE shapes/colors/etc. that creates a similar kaleidoscope effect. DO NOT try and recreate the same shapes/colors/etc. as the tutorial, use your imagination/creativity to create your own. Make sure you are using properly distanced measurements and making use of the ALT and SHIFT keys to keep you kaleidoscope effect correct.

DELIVERABLES:
You should end up with a .motn file and a .mov video file. The naming convention is "adma_motn_03.501_mtn_YOURUSERNAME_v1" with the proper extension (one will be .mov, the other will be .motn)
The .mov video file:
- must follow proper naming conventions
- must be 5 seconds long
- must be in the format created by the "Video Sharing Services" and "HD 720p Video Sharing"
The .motn file:
- must follow proper naming conventions
- must be your final version of work done for this project
- When saving your .motn files, MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE OPTION “COLLECT MEDIA: COPY TO FOLDER”. This will then automatically create a folder with your media, and the .motn file. When submitting your motion project, copy the ENTIRE FOLDER CREATED by Motion, which includes the folder “MEDIA” inside it, as well as the containing the .motn file. Again, copy the entire folder created by Motion so that all media necessary to view the .motn file is present.
Your Work MUST Meet Only 1 Requirement:
- Must make use of shapes, proper scaling using SHIFT and ALT, different colours, outlines, etc. as well as MUST BE PROPERLY DISTANCED (i.e. copies must be same distance from centre of screen on both X and Y axis)
- Must be animated
- To put it simply, it must look like a kaleidoscope of patterns, not a bunch of random shapes
