Hopefully you completed the tutorials in the last chapter. If not, go back and do that now! Now you’ll get into designing your content for your animation.  This time, I want you to create a scene using the tools mentioned in the tutorials and hand it in. I don’t want to see anything using the sample files, I want you to create something on your own!

In order to access these tutorials, you will need a Winnipeg Public Library membership number. If you don’t yet have a Winnipeg Public Library Card, go HERE: Library Membership sign up

You’ll need that card number again, so copy and paste it into a Word document or an email to yourself or whatever! Don’t lose it!

Once you do have a card, sign in HERE: LinkedIn Learning

Then you can click on the links below to view the videos.
