Day 1 - Session 3: Motion Imaging & The Thesis “Proof of Concept”

Session 3: Motion Imaging & The Thesis “Proof of Concept”

Focus: Rapid prototyping for Film, Animation, and Photojournalism.

Session Overview

This session demonstrates how Firefly and Creative Cloud Pro Plus tools support rapid narrative prototyping, enabling students to visualize and pitch complex ideas early in the creative process.

Participants will explore:

• Firefly First and Last Frame controls for motion ideation

• Character continuity through style references

• Text-to-sound for atmospheric design

• Premiere Pro workflows using Generative Extend

Pedagogical Philosophy: Democratizing the “Pitch”

• Lowering barriers to entry for ambitious ideas

• Director’s Vision First through visual prototyping

• Sonic Scaffolding as part of narrative design

Outcome:

Faculty learn how to help students develop polished proof-of-concept work earlier in the creative process.
