Project 4

      Hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been behind with my blog posts. Blogging is a very new concept to me and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I do know that I am loving this class so far.  I fell behind because of illness etc. so I had to work pretty hard this weekend to get caught up. But now that I've caught up Im finding myself actually excited for the midterm(yes I said that). It has also been fun being able to see all of your projects.

       In project 4 what was your favorite tweening type?

      I can't really say what my favorite tweening type was but I didn't play to much with classic tweens.           I think I was just happy to have any kind of motion.

     What problems did you have using various tweening tools?

     I found myself starting over a lot! Especially when I was trying to animate my Alien. I think this happened the most when I was trying to nest an animation. So to answer the next question, I originally was working with my alien symbol when I was trying to nest an animation. I kept getting to mixed up and there were body parts floating everywhere. I will have to keep practicing. 

    What easing did you use?

  I tried many different eases throughout my trial and error process but I think it was the slow ease that I actually kept in the end.

  What filters and blend modes did you use?

 I used the blur feature I wish I would have used a glow on my floating question marks.

 

 Did you have trouble with the 3D tool?

I think the trouble I had was not using it to much. I loved the 3D tool!

Overall I'm pretty happy with my first flash animation. I feel like I had to cram a lot of info in the last few days but the program is pretty easy to catch on to. The book is a great help and now its just a matter of taking the time to practice with these tools more. I'm  excited about my midterm. My biggest challenge will be trying not to take on more than I can handle. I find that the more I learn to use the adobe programs the more I try to cram into my projects.
