Life-Like Running Stick Figure 4/8/14

                     My last animation assignment given to me in class was to create a life-like running stick figure in Flash CS6. We did this by first drawing a background using the pencil tool then we used different onion skins to draw the characters in each key-frame in order to make the character look like it's moving in a realistic way. I did confront some difficulties such as struggling to make it look realistic. For me to do that I would have to draw the character in different positions in each key-frame such as doing movement in arms & legs. Overall I did learn a lot as in how to create a moving background & position the characters.

Learning Flash Animation 4/3/14


               As we finished up Windows Live Movie Maker, we moved on to another software called Flash CS6. I learned many things throughout my experience of using this software throughout the past days. We were given assignments to complete with this. I found out how to do different things for instance, make a figure move and make an object move on a background. Some assignments we had to do included to move a face using different layers, we made a moving stick figure, and also did an object moving across a background which is shown below. I liked the last one because it's a good skill to know & I liked using the tools to create layers, put in motion tweens and position where everything would be which leads to the final product. It was fun and I enjoyed doing it. By doing these things you learn to enjoy the software and have fun with it because it's interesting to know what we can do with it.
