Key Frame Animation

I grade myself:
Brushwork and Fills: 3
Frame Sequencing: 3
Background: 3

overall: 9/9

I did a good job following the directions and creating an appealing animation of a frog landing and jumping across the screen.

Wonder Woman Balance

There are many reasons my sketch demonstrates balance. Some examples of how my wonder woman sketch demonstrates balance is:

- It demonstrates a balance of color and white space
- It demonstrates a balance between unique caligraphy style and readable text
- It demonstrates a balance of color through using Blue and its two semi-complementary colors Red and Yellow

Thursday Sketch and animation

What action script did you use?

-I used actionscript 3.0. because it is the most modern and up to date.

Why did you choose it?

-I chose it because it is the most modern and up to date.

How did you trace the frog/toad? Can you include examples of your work in the blog post?

-I pasted the picture from the instructions onto the bottom layer. I then traced it with the brush tool on the layer above. This is what it looked like after 1 frame. I then deleted the bottom layer.

Who is the master animator Richard Williams?

-He is a british-canadian animator. He worked on many animated movies such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Pink Panther.

How did you research him or her?

-I used the biography from Internet Movie Database.

How large was your stage when you opened it?

-My stage was 550 pixels by 400 pixels.

Which software did you use and why?

-I used adobe flash, because I know how to use it more than others.

How many layers did you use?

-I used 2 layers, one for the frog and one for the background.

Why did you choose your background?

-My background allowed me to trace the multiple frames of the frog

Why did we create a frog/toad? (instead of a ball or entire city)

-The frog has some detail to it, but is not too time consuming for a single frame.

How did you export?

-I exported by file->export->export movie->animated GIF and saved to desktop.

How many frames did you create?

-I created 8 frames for each layer, but did not do any editing for the background layer.
