3 potential problems

1. One potential problem would be finishing everything at the time its due . What i can do to solve this problem is plan out they way me and my partner are going to make the animation.
2. A second potential problem would be to figure out what each of me and my partner are going to do . What i can do to fix this problem is plan everything out.
3. A third potential problem would be how to figure out the things we need to do to create animation.To fix this problem is to meet up with my partner and think about the things we need to use like motion tweens and stuff .


What i will do in class is look for props on the internet that we need for the animation i could also plan out what we will need to make this animation like frame by frames , motion tweens, ect.

Benefits of story boarding ?

Story boarding beneficial because you can plan it before u do it  . Another reason story boarding is beneficial because it save you time . Also it can benefit you by seeing how something is going to turn out before you do it so you can decide if you like it or not . Story boarding can also benefit you by saving space. You can also use it as an interactive training tool.

What would you create?

I would create something like the videos we saw I would create something that kind of transforms . For example like the video's that we were seeing someone created a seed blooming into a flower and show how it slowly grows and then slowly dies as the days pass by .

5 things

In my animation i used ccw to rotate one of my images . I also used motion tween to make both of my objects move . Another thing i used was size i used size to to make my objects smaller . I made both of my objects symbols so i can create the motion tween . I also used reposition to make one of my objects differently shaped. In conclusion I used all these things to create my flash project.

motion tweens? and shape tweens? similarities

Similarities

Motion Tweens and Shape tween are similar in the way that they both can make an object move . Both motion and shape tween need an object to be turned into a symbol to become a motion . Also both Tweens can make the object transform into something else . They both can also make just one part of the object move .Both Shape tween  and Motion Tween need a timeline to work . Both Tweens need frames to work and make a motion. Both Tweens need a layer .To work both Tweens an object is needed . You can find both actions by right clicking on your object. Also they can both be found in the toolbar just by clicking on insert and then click either shape tween or motion tween. You can make both Tweens on an object by using flash.

Differences


With motion tween you can make the object move around .
With shape tween you can only make the object move but in the same place .
With motion tween you can use a tool to change the shapes form .
With shape tween can the object move any way you want it too
With motion tween u can change the pace of the frames .

Differences and similarities between animation now and then ?

Some similarities from animation now and animation then are back then the used frames and now a days we still use frames like in the animation "little nemo" the creator of the animation had to redraw the cartoon on different paper which each paper is a frame now a days we still use frames to make the characters or cartoons move and make an animation .


Some differences are now a days we don't have to redraw things to make a frame we can copy the image and that would be a frame like in the "humorous faces" video were the guy had to erase the character or a part of a character to make it look like it moved . Now a days its easier to make an animation because we have technology. In conclusion although there is many differences and similarities between animation now and then animation is still animation .
