Our Year 9 Animation students have completed an innovative term-long project that literally puts art on the table. The "Dinner Plate Animation" project challenged students to create custom animations specifically designed for projection onto dinner plates, transforming everyday dining into an immersive visual experience.

Working with industry-standard software including Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, students developed their artistic and technical skills from the ground up. They designed original graphics, mastered complex animation techniques, and explored advanced After Effects tools including composition layouts, precomp mini animations, and sophisticated transformation effects using scale, rotation, and opacity adjustments.

The dedication shown by our students was remarkable as they refined their graphics and incorporated special effects to create truly impressive animations. This unique project not only developed their digital media skills but also encouraged creative problem-solving as they considered how their animations would interact with the curved surface of dinner plates. The results showcase the incredible talent and hard work of our Animation students.
