Rather than simply writing a report or creating a poster-board, I created an entire animation using 1/ static images or the Jeopardy stage; 2/ recordings of my friends and I answering questions; 3/ several text-to-speech bots; 4/ rendered character animation of everyone using Adobe’s Character Animator; and 5/ pieced it together using Camtasia in post production.
Green Screen in Post Production
As in million dollar budgeted television or theatrical productions, green screen recordings were made of each character to match their audio recordings in Adobe Character Animator, which were then compiled together in post production in Camtasia.
