The Project We stated working on this animation weeks ago. We started by figuring out what out ten strengths were. Then we began the project. On the first day we chose a picture that was not copyrighted to be our background. Then we spent a whole day and a half figuring out how we wanted our words to look. We had to put them in an organized fashion so they don't look like a jumble of words.  Then we've spent the past two days animating the video. But this time we used the video timeline instead of using the create frame animation timeline. I think it made this project a lot easier. I finished the animation faster. What Did I Learn? I learned a fair amount. I knew how to use a lot of the tools because I make youtube videos. The software I use was very similar to photoshop. I learned how to add hue and saturation into the original photo. I also learned how to add the hue and saturation into the photo in the video. If that makes any sense.  I learned about levels and how to u...

Making My Second Animation For the past week i have been creating my second animation. It was alt easier than the other one. Because this time i knew what i was doing and didn't have to ask the teacher. I felt really cool. Anyways in many was this project was easier but it was also really difficult at the same time. The Process On the first day we learned about arcs and we learned how to make it look right. The arcs worked as a guide to know where I should bounce the ball. It also made my animation look more realistic. No everything moves in a straight like they move in arcs. Watch this video to better understand Arcs What I Learned About Photoshop I learned a lot of new things about Photoshop this week. I learned that if you take a color or a frame you can tween it with the next frame. For example if you tween frame A and frame B then when you tween it there will be 20 frames between frame A and B. I also learned that you can add your name to any animation so that people...

The Process of My first Animation This week i began working on my first animation. It was really hard for me. I have a horrible memory so it was hard for me to remember every little thing that we had to do. It was really cool learning the new software. Even though the software was difficult to wok with at times I still had fun. On the first day of animation we began to create the layers. On the second day we put the layers on the timeline. Which was really difficult for me to do. On that same day we animated it. The last thing we did was save it for the internet so that anyone can view it. What I learned I learned a lot this week. I had no idea you could create animations with photoshop. I thought you had to draw out every animation by had and upload them to the computer. I also learned that there are many different ways you can save something as. I learned that you cant open up certain files on some computers. I learned about Squash and Stretch. Which is where you make your anim...
