Animation

The Animation assignment presented various difficulties. I began by painting and forgot to make the paintings objects so when I tried to tween them it was choppy and didn't work. I decided to do frame by frame which was quite grueling and turned out not to be as interesting as I think tween could have been. I spent a lot of time on the detail and stylistic qualities of each branch of the tree. Overall I feel it was a good learning experience. -Daniel

Flash

I enjoyed very much so learning how to use the program Flash. I have always wanted to play around with animation and have a real respect for contemporary cartoon and animation artists. It was interesting figuring out the process of making frames cooperate together to produce a full minute of animation. I enjoyed manipulating the text for instance making a plane fly across the window. As well as making it snow over my text. -Daniel
