== Assignment ==

* This week, your assignment is to create a hand drawn, colored, and composited animating illustration within Photoshop.
* You can use your "Tiny Town" illustration from last week or create a NEW "Tiny Town" illustration for animation. Use the [https://wiki.mfaillustration.com/index.php?title=Class:MFA_Illustration_2022/Week_5#Assignment parameters from last week], please. 
* You have one primary animating deliverable based upon the same the 5"x 5" illustration process we have been doing in class.

You will start with last week's or a new composited colored illustration.
* Your still illustration assignment should include at least 4 or 5 foreground items and 1 background.
* Your animating file should be at least 10 seconds long. 

=== Process for animating file ===

** If you have a fast computer and want to make a HD video you can try: 1,080 x 1,080 pixels
** If you want to make an animated gif you should use 800 x 800 or 1000 x 1000 pixels
* Create a file with at least 10 seconds of animation.
* Use the Timeline panel (video animation or frame animation mode) to create your animation. Use the tutorials above if you need help.
