Study Notes
Creating Animated Sequences with Presentation Tools
- Two approaches to unfolding an interaction sequence: displaying successive frames as a storyboard or animating the sequence by displaying successive frames in the same location over time.
- Presentation tools, such as PowerPoint, are suitable for creating animated sequences by creating a storyboard of successive frames.
- The registration problem occurs when images are slightly different in position on each slide, causing the illusion of animation to be broken.
- The solution to the registration problem is to create a series of templates where static items are always in the same fixed position on the slide.
- Creating a master frame template that contains constant elements such as the window frame, title bar, title text, and button is the first step in solving the registration problem.
- Specialized frame templates can be refined from the master template by copying and editing the template accordingly.
- Final frames can then be created by copying and modifying the template while ensuring that all elements are in the correct position across all frames.
- Placing each frame in the desired sequence in presentation software is done by placing frames in the same order as the storyboard.
- Most presentation tools allow for the sequence to be played as a series of slides that can be advanced manually or automatically.
- The animation may not be fluid due to the cursor jumping from one position to another, which can be fixed in the next chapter of the course.
- Templates ensure that static items appear in the same place in the animated sequence, providing a solution to the registration problem.
- Creating specialized frame templates allows for more complex animations to be created by copying and modifying the template accordingly.
