introduction - general jist

Yesterday was the first day of graduate classes at Pratt Institute in NYC. My first class is Digital Design with Jean Brennan where all the students will be utilizing Blogger.com to post the progress of our assignments.
The first assignment is a stop-motion animation with sound and we will be concentrating on the connotative versus the denotative narrative. The denotative set will give an overall perspective of the action and the connotative will give a more abstract or suggestive perspective of the action.
AfterEffects will be used to assemble the animation.
Each student will be posting 3 denotative and 3 connotative images along with a three sentence description of the action.
