Here’s a big shout out to the presenters at the March 12 from 10-11:30: Aaron Nestor, Jason Hazel, Chris Strasbaugh, and Forrest Schoessow! They all contributed great information.

Drones on campus.docx contains useful information about operating drones at Ohio State, including most of the topics discussed at the meeting. It is editable by anyone at Ohio State, so if you’re an excellent note taker (looking at you, Terry Bradley) or you have additional information, please add it.

Our next community meeting will be November 8th from 10:00AM-11:30AM in 346 Hopkins Hall. We will be joined by Richard Batts, Instructional Designer for Fisher’s Leadership Initiative, who will introduce us to Adobe’s Character Animator. All are welcome. RSVPs encouraged: https://go.osu.edu/nov8elt

Do you want to learn how to make characters come to life quickly and easily?

This workshop will introduce you to Character Animator, an Adobe product that allows you to create a character and animate it. Character Animator uses your expression and movements to animate your puppet in real-time. In this short workshop, you will learn how to:

• Import a puppet and background
• Record voiceover or sync pre-existing dialogue to a puppet
• Export scene to a mp4 format

Meeting Pre-work

To give yourself enough time to experiment and play with Adobe Character Animator at the workshop, you may want to do the following:

• Download Adobe Character Animator from the Adobe Creative Cloud
• Download a puppet and background from the link on the agenda above or the one sheeter.

Make sure you bring you computer and mouse to the workshop.
