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.

How I would improve my animations

The way I would've improve my Newton ball animation is by apply a clicking sound on the animation. The sound effect would have been continuos so, I would added in the beginning and let it play out through the animation.

How to masked mask in Flash

1. First, make your object onto your stage, make sure to include mask in your title.
2. Next go to your modify tab, timeline, then click on your layer properties.
3. A window will pop up, there will be options there, click on the on that says mask, and lock it
4. Next, create another layer and but your symbol on it
5. Do Step 2 again
6. Click on masked, and lock it
7. Test Movie

Actions Script & Buttons

To create the Car Animation

1. Create a stop light button that will start the animation

• Make a rectangular box on the corner, on top of the text finish line
• Make sure you use the Rectangle Options, and set the side to a 5
• Use the Gradient tool, to concentrate the gradient in the center of the rectangular box
• Convert the box into a symbol, make your type into a Button, be sure to type in b in your title, indicating that the symbol is a button.
•     In your library, double click on your button symbol, you will be inside your button. On your Over frame add a keyframe. 
• Change your color two yellow, then you will do the same on your Down frame. 
• On your Hit frame you will add a hit area in your layer. 

• On Scene 1 add a new layer, name it stop movie
• Make sure your on frame 1, go up to your window and select your Actions to display your action panel
• Be sure that it says stop movie 1
• Click on your add a new item and go to global function, timeline, control, and stop, this will make your movie stop at the beginning so it doesn't start till you click on the button symbol.
• Click frame 65 on the stop movie layer and repeat what you did to layer 1. 
• this will make the movie stop at the end.Assign a Play action to a button.
• Click the button on the stage an make sure that b_signal is shown in the actions panel.Insert an action by clicking on the Add button and selecting Global Functions, timeline Control, Play.
• Test your movie.

Six Differences between wheel and bug

1. The wheel was a motion tween inside the MC, while the bug was a frame by frame animation.
2. In the bug, we used a greater number of layouts in our animation
3. We created the body parts for our bug
4. On the wheel we had to break apart the rim from the tire
5. On the wheel, we used a complete 360 degree rotation
6. The wheel was already in a file format

How to make a MC

1. Open the file, then zoom in to make it easier to select the rim of the tire
2. Next, on your Modify tab break apart.
3. Select everything inside the tire, use shift key to highlight all necessary parts
4. Take out the rim, go to modify and convert to a symbol.
5. Make sure that you make your symbol into a movie clip, don't forget to use MC (movie clip) on your name
6. Next, on your library, double click your MC to go into your MC
7. Your symbol will appear smaller, don't panic, go back to zoom and click on Show all option
8. Select your symbol, and on your Modify tab, make a motion out of you symbol
9. Click yes when it ask you if you want to make this in a motion tween
10. By default the motion tween will be 12 frames, extend your motion tween to whatever length you want.
11. Add however many details you want, either rotate, move, etc.
12. Last but not least, have fun doing it! 

What Im gonna do for 4th period

Im my animation, an eagle will swoop down and capture Noemi fish, and feed it to its birdies. The eagle will seem to go down when objects in the background move vertically up. Ex-clouds. Then the lake will appear were the eagle will vertically line up with the lake then capture the fist. Finally go up.

5 things that I did in my Project

1. I used a Motion Tween

2. Used many keyframes

3.Used Free Transform

4.Used the line tool

5.Change Shape

Project Critiques

Pink Butterflies
Its a very simple animation,  I like, meets all the reaquirements.

Hobo to Megaman vs Monster Version 2
Come on Tito, thats very lame dude you can do better than that. Its very fast you cant really understand what is happening, make your pictures better.

Futbol
You didn't use your two pictures, your drawing of your foot isn't good, try to put a soccer player.

Elaine
Nice and simple, good job.

What mushrooms do on mario
Good imagination, like the fact that you correct the color of the mushrooms, nice.

Leap Frog
Cool, like a lot, very creative Mayra.

Who ate the Cake?

Eh it SUCKS, JKJKJK, very cool, Noemi, mine still better :)

Mario and Karate Kid
Try to animate your images better, other than that, very cool.

Star and a Heart

Maybe you should make a little longer, but very nice.

ITS GOOD!

Very cool, the only thing that bothered me was that maybe you should make the football go smaller as its goes in.

GIRR

Nice Tiger, I like it very cool :)

Baby and Shaggy
The baby glitches at the end, other than that, nice

The Smily face
Very weird, but

DFC
Cool, it isn't as good as people said it would be

Chicken Fear
you should have made the chicken explode

Motion Tweens & Shape Tweens

Similarities

1.  They are both Tweens
2. Both Tweens require keyframes
3. Both are a type of animation
4. Both Tweens can change their size
5. Can take objects and moved to a different place 
6. Both have layers
7. Both use a timeline
8. Both can be edited by your tools
9. Both Tweens use persistence of vision 
10. Both need Flash

Differences

1. In shape Tweens, you cam add guides to make transitions better
2. They require different processes to complete the final product
3. They have different names
4. On a motion tween, the object has to be a symbol, in a shape tween it does not
5. In shape tween objects morph, in a motion tween the objects just move

Compare and contrast Old School to Flash

In the beginning there was only one way to make a animation. At first, you would have to take a picture then take another and place them one after the other. Which gives the illusion of movement. In 1911 the movie called Little Nemo took a month to create for only about a 2 minute length. The process today takes about a day to make a 4000 frame work. The similarities between this two processes are that the same amount of skill is required to make a animation

How to create a motion tween

To create a motion tween you first must have object to make it into a motion tween. To do that you must go to your panels and click on a tool. After you've done that, draw your object with the tool you selected by clicking on your stage. Finally right click the object and make it into a Motion Tween.

Everything that Brian said was BULL

When Mrs.Goeldner  told us the story of Brian and Sarah, we completely assumed that Brian had every right to the poem. Then Mrs.Goeldner busted Mr.Brian plan, and set him strait. Brian plan was to confused us and believe that the poem was his. But then the truth came out, turns out you don't need to register a poem, because it atomically is copyrighted by the Copyright Act. And your poem belongs to you even after
you die, for at least 70 years

Copyright Vocabulary

Copyright- a law giving to you as protection to any document that you have written.

Fair Use- A set of guidelines set for the copyright document.

First Sale Doctrine- Once a purchaser buys the copyrights, they can do what ever they want with it. All rights are given to the purchaser.

Intellectual Property- If you think about it, you can't claim ownership unless you make a product

Patent- A limited time offered to the original owner, to do what ever he want's with the product. If the owner wants more time he needs to ask for a renewal.

Permission- You have to ask the owner of the product to see if its ok to reproduce or reprint.

Phono records-A permission to the people that they can store it and download to a computer or music devices

Plagiarism- If you make a copy and take as your own, who just stole that persons ideas

Public domain-After your copyright expires, your product belongs to everybody

Trademark- a symbol that belongs to a company in which they put in their product

Maybe you should copyright your ideas

I think that Brian has every right to tell Sarah that the song belongs to him because he's the one that copyright the poem and IT WAS A GIFT! She has no right to call him and demand royalties.  Plus, she didn't go throw the process of making it to a song. She wasn't there when he was creating the album either. So Sarah, tough it out because you  are not gonna see none of the cash.

2010 2011 Animation Class

Its been three days that we have started this our animation class. So far I learn that you need a very large hard drive to manege the animation program. Like a terabyte of memory! Now that's a big iPod. Animation is anything from cartoons to video games. An even the jokes that you read in the newspaper. In  conclusion, I expect to write a lot more when we get started.
