Project 5 - Leo

What specific use did the shape tween serve?
This seems to be a big timesaver for animations. I used it for both my laser and planet collapse.

What challenges did you have using the Bone tools
None, but I didn't try to get too fancy. Controlling the movements from one joint to another  would be very complicated with  more exaggerated movements.

After creating the IK with shapes and symbols, which did you prefer? Why?
Shapes, because at this point I'm still struggling with symbols ( I know that's really a big deal) but I need to keep straight where and what I'm working on when dealing with symbols.

What benefit did you find from the nesting an IK within a movie clip?
At this point none (see above) I think once it clicks in my head  it will be great to just throw in the clip and let it go.

Please share anything else regarding your experience.
Terms are an issue. I think I need a definition list/glossary for terms. The book is has almost no discussion and in the lessons,  and doesn't seem to refer to the terms as having any importance.
