3 problems We faced and solutions

Some of the problems that we might faced  while doing this animation, will be

1. The special effects on the animation, like the allusion of movement of the soldiers,clouds,
2.  Creating the characters on the animation
3. Dialogue and making it

Solutions

1. Ask for help
2.Take the time and make sure we add all the details that it needs
3. Use garage band to record our voice and convert them into the right format

5 reasons why we should do storyboards

Purpose of Storyboarding is.....

1. Will help your ideas to be viewed shot by shot
2. It will help see problems in between the pictures
3. You can also get help by person on your storyboard to get more ideas
4. You can change the storyboard instead of changing the final product
5. Its less time consuming to do the storyboard rather than the animation

What would I do for a major Animation project

Today in animation class Mrs. Goeldner show us some of the animations that other kids have made in other schools. What I would like to do for a major animation project would be the last battle scene of the movie StarWars "The Phantom Menace". When Obi-Wan defeats Darth Mall by slicing him into half.

3 things that I learn today in Ms G class

1.Today in animation, we discussed how to make a our animation move with our bone structure inside of them by converting it to a symbol.

2. An interesting thing was how to better give the allusion of movement, by simply making our animation to MC

3.With all of our parts all ready a symbol, by simply adding a motion tween one can move their object to either give the allusion of it jumping, running, kicking etc.

What important things I learn that Today

The new ideas that I got exposed yesterday and today were, ideas that will make animation class, that much  
simpler. By not having to redraw all the components on the animation, it will be easier to create more complex and funner animations. It is important to understand the steps will make this animation class funner and more interesting, when making our own animation.

The New way Mrs. Goeldner seated us

So, its a fresh new six weeks, Im kind of glad that the other six weeks its over. Now, its always good to get a fresh start right. The way Im taking this new change is really a positive. Although it may seem that Im not, but that the way I get to some people. Im looking forward to this new six week, there is always something that will be interesting.
