Task 1: Dancing in the night

Create a scene with a simple “dancer” character and four moving lights similar to this:

Note: the image above is an animated gif - if you cannot see the image moving, try looking at the mp4 file or the animated gif.

• The dancer’s movements and the lights’ color and position are all controlled by the mouse location.

• The head moves just a bit towards the mouse.

Hints:

• It would be easier if you use the HSB model to control the lights’ color.

• The big X (representing the dancer’s body) is actually two Bezier curves of which the “control points” are moving with the mouse.

Specifications

• We are expecting you to commit your work often (try to aim for a minimum of 3-5 commits per lab) with useful commit messages marking your progress.

• Create the overall sketch (dancer and four lights).

• Animate the Bezier curves with the mouse.

• Reproduce the head movement the head movement (remember: the head’s location doesn’t match the mouse location).

• Animate the lights color.

• Animate the lights position.

Reminder: You do NOT have to (but you can if you like) duplicate the animated gif exactly, this class is called computer creativity, so be creative!

For this question, you do not need to include a screenshot, the TAs will download and run your code.
