Final Project: Animation

Class Notes: During this unit we had to take notes on steps to take because of the complications of animation. 

Key Frame Animation:

-Only drawing first and last frame

-Created by Walt Disney

Steps to using flash

1. Layer and frame

2. Create object

3. Select object

4. Motion tween (the objects move)

5. Select new frame

Description: My idea for my animation project was a golf scene. I had a green, a tree, bunker, golfer, club, water, and the hole all involved. The golfer and the club moved with the golf ball into the hole in this animation. I had to draw out all of the details and then figure out how to make it move. This was very detailed and specific and every detail needed to be framed and layered. To make the objects you wanted to move you needed to select motion tween as well. This project was very interesting and found out how to make animation work and my golf course looked great at the end and across the screen "hole in one" came in as the golfer hit the ball into the hole! so interesting and awesome!

Reflection: During this project, I had to really pay attention to the class before doing the project because this was the most detailed and complicated project by far. In this project, if you messed up one little part or forgot to frame and layer each detail and object you would have possibly forfeit your whole  project and had to start over. I was very careful doing this project and this animation taught me the importance of discipline and to take your time with patience is the key to success to a big project like this. I was originally stressed out about this project because I did not even know we could have created an animation on these computers but I guess everything is possible in these times. I learned to keep calm and to take my time and really perfect it and that is what I did to complete this.

                   The steps to doing this process are the most important to the project of animation. This project was also in Adobe Flash so I knew the program, but the animation was much harder than the logo. All of the specifics and details that go into this project are the most important things that need to be figured out and accomplished in the animation process. I have learned a lot about this project that I would never expect myself to be knowing and learned to have patience in doing a big project after this animation project.
