midterm


ok well first of the sky is suppose to be blue and theres clouds that i made move using different kinds of tweens. second i drew each one as a different primitive and so on shape. i made them move across the screen using classic and motion tween. then i made the sun move around in circles using frame-by-frame animation. and then used classic tween to make a guy walk down the path and disappear out into the distance. i also used the pen tool to make the tree.

For my mid term project I made a figure and a skate board move around the frame with tweens. Using different layers for each movement. For the rest of the mid term project I made a moon with a ring around it, and a flag which I turned into symbols. I used the bezier tool to complete the ring, and gradient for the colors.

Ok so for the graphics, I did one spider in primitive tools and the other using normal ones (as well as the box). I then converted each spider, the box and the lid to a symbol and put them each on their on layer.

I created a frame by frame for the box shaking, a classic for the spiders jumping out of the box (with a motion guide), and them landing on the ground. For the "webbing" I did another frame by frame till they merged into the circle. I then did a shape tween to convert it into a skull and crossbones. (Windings capital "n" then 'break apart') Finally, I used a motion tween to may the skull fade away.

the water was a simple object using gradient to, the character was multiple symbols applied classic tween and the rock at the bottom of the character also to make it come into play.
The sun was a shape tween that gets larger with the movement up and the color changes as it leaves the water.
The boat was a re-use of one of my previews projects changed the colors by editing the symbol from last time. The boat also comes in on a motion tween and is a mix of square shapes and the use of the pen-tool and free-form transformation
Did a frame by frame animation with the ball that's dropped onto the ship and hits the deck and blows up on the boats spike. used onion skinning here to get a better idea where the ball was going to drop.
To make the rocks i used the pen-tool and the line tool and also bezier curves to give it the shape then turned that into a symbol

Named all the layers accordingly and used about 8 layers I try to keep things separate that way its better to manage
At the end added a action script to stop it.

for the story board just used flash and made it with about 5 frames. They basically explains how things are going to develop.

some drawing classes might help me after this to make better looking objects and shapes.

When Stephanie says that she was “tasked” with building a simple eCard to sell to our clients, it was really me that volunteered both of us. So my midterm project also ended up being holiday themed.

When I sat down and started to storyboard I decided to make the graphics that I wanted to use and lay them out according at the different major transition points. I then took screen shots of each of these points which I used as visuals in a PPT file to represent the story board. Then I went back to the movie and completed the animation between the transition points.

I created the snowman with the drawing tools in flash as well as the night-sky, snow and moon. The tree and the sign were simple graphics that I imported into my library. Once I figured out where I wanted everything I adjusted the layers accordingly. I grouped a lot of symbols together to create my snowman and made sure all of the necessary layers were in the same folder. Probably the trickiest part to the snowman was using the lovely Bezier curves to get the scarf just right.

This project used both classic tweens and motion tweens. The classic tween was used to give the landscape a zooming in effect and the motion tween was used to bring the snowman and text on screen.

This was a fun but time consuming project!

The hardest part of this project was to draw the car and to animate the wheels. I used bezier curves in the whole car and used some shape primitives on the lights.
I used a rectangle tool for the sky so that way I could use the gradient tool.
I noticed when I tried to export the video it is not quite running well, but I will try to figure it out later what is wrong with it

The palm tree leaves are made with bezier curves. All others are shapes or objects besides the bird which I just used the pen tool for. The sun is actually rotating with its axis below the bottom of the page. The ocean that looks like it reflects the sun is a long rectangle that moves along a line to give the imression that the suns actually doing it. Theres a separate layer behind the ocean rectangle that makes the waves. I originally just had that but it was too "flashy" and choppy and didnt reflect the suns position at all. The bird is actually 3 separate symbols that were created using a motion tween on 3 layers. To make it advance/ "fly" forward I did a simple frame by frame animation using chucks of frames and repositioning each as I wanted the bird to appear to move through time. The larger palm tree also has a few classic animations applied to it throughout the movie.
