CAHSEE Exam

Good luck to Sophomores taking the “High School Exit Exam” (CAHSEE) on March 16th and March 17th. This should affect the schedules for Web Design and for Animation, but not for Keyboarding hopefully.

Cue Followup Animation Assignments

Thanks for the kind words those of you who attended my CUE 2010 presentation on Open Source Animation.  Attached, you will find a .ZIP file containing my first nine assignments in PDF format.  These assignments use Pencil and Pivot (Stykz) about half the time and Adobe Flash CS4 the other half.  Fell free to repurpose these and make these your own.

No warranty expressed or implied.  Use at your own risk.  Driver does not carry cash 🙂
