In this lesson, you will learn how to create a design.
A design for an Alice Animation project has two basic elements Storyboard development Scene setup
This lesson is about storyboards.
DesignDesignCostumers create sketches
Car designers create drawings
Animators create storyboards
A storyboard is a sequence of actions that Tells a story Simulates a process Performs a task Plays a game

How we do it.
An example of a word problem:
Bruce (a shark) needs some "fish-rehab" – to help him kick the habit of eating fish.
Create an animation for the following script: Three fish are swimming together . Bruce suddenly appears and the fish stop to look at the shark.
Bruce wants to be friendly so he offers to dance with the fish. Bruce illustrates the dance step and the fish imitate the step repeatedly until they swim out of sight.
Bruce says, "It's nice to have friends."
To create a storyboard, begin by Identifying the objects (characters/props)
Identifying the actions performed by the objects as the story unfolds

Bruce illustrates the dance step and the fish imitate the step repeatedly until they swim out of sight. Bruce says, "It's nice to have friends."
Each action is sketched in a frame. Each frame contains a description of the action and any sound or text.

A list of actions (algorithm)
Do in orderThree fish swim together . Bruce suddenly appears Bruce says “I came to dance!” The fish turn to face camera at the cameraBruce and the fish repeatedly perform the
dance step together until the fish swim out of sight.
Bruce says it's nice to have friends.
Create a list the actions from each frame. This is a “to-do list” that will be used to create the animation program.
A sequence of actions to perform a task is an algorithm
