The tools from Photoshop to Flash are very similar, the only difference is you are making your layers move. With what students have learned, they need to create a story and begin to create their Flash animation. Each student will receive a packet of information to remember along the creation process along with project requirements (which are also listed below).
Practice makes perfect! Your animation might not be exactly how you want the first time around...feel free to delete any keyframes you are unhappy with and reset them when you are. (right click on the frame--->select--->Remove Frames)
Create an
animation with a subject of your choice.
Requirements: This is a single person project--NOT group project.- Minimum of 400 keyframes. (Press F6 to add frames)
- Create a SCENE...not just what you are animating. For instance, if you are having a person walk down the street, you must create the street--buildings, cars, sidewalks etc.
- Standard timeline animation must be your primary source of animation.
- You must also use at least one Motion tween or Shape tween. (directions for both are on the share drive if you have forgotten!)
- You must tell a story- use your imagination!
- CREATIVITY COUNTS!
- No one wants to watch a boring animation…MAKE IT INTERESTING!!!! J
