From wbarnum at elmhurst205.org Sun Aug 28 17:31:58 2022 From: wbarnum at elmhurst205.org (Barnum, William) Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2022 16:31:58 -0500 Subject: alice-teacher Puzzle Trying To Combine Alice 3 and Adobe Premiere Pro Message-ID: Hey all, I'm working on a personal project for fun and have run into a roadblock. I don't think there is a simple solution, but if anyone knew, it would be people on this list. ? I'm zooming in on a "billboard" with a person's picture on it. I want to record the program running and use Premiere Pro to overlay the picture with a video of the person talking. As the billboard gets closer, the video of the person gets larger. The idea is to create the illusion that the person is inside the Alice 3 world. My difficulty is that as the camera gets closer to the billboard, it doesn't increase the billboard size at a linear pace. It seems like it increases in size slowly but then speeds up as I get closer to it. I have animation style set to "begin and end abruptly". Is there a way that I can move the camera towards the billboard at a variable speed so that the billboard increases in size linearly?

I think the billboard can be resized instead of moving it closer to the camera, the effect would be the same, possibly. Another option would be to place an invisible object, an sphere would be perfect, in the center of the billboard, exactly in the middle of the height and width, setting the billboard's vehicle to that object and the bringing the object to the camera. The thing here is that when you move an object, Alice usually uses the center of the _base_ of the object, and this can distort the movement. One last option would be to use two camera markers, or maybe more, at equal intervals between the camera and the billboard and then moving the camera to each of them in order with "begin and end abruptly". Not sure if any of them will work, but it can be fun to try. Best!

The size something looks is determined by dividing how far away it is, not by multiplying. If you call z the distance between the object and the camera, then the size of a 2-meter object will be 2/z. So as your z decreases, your visible size increases, but not linearly. James ?

Message-ID: Hi. I haven't taught Alice in a few years, but I have been asked to introduce it (or something similar) to a 6th grade class for their electives day, then follow up monthly with them. I have many lessons and activities for Alice 2.0. However, they now only have ChromeBooks. Can Alice be used? I know this is the "Alice Teachers Resource group", but is there another app or website you all would recommend? I introduced Blockly to them last year and they went thru much of what is available on the code.org site. I only have a few days figure this all out. Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Laurie Cohen Educational Consultant Silver Spring, Maryland -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
