In this brief lesson I learned to further utilize the power of motion paths in relation to symbols, and how much easier they make complex animations.

This is the second Animate CC Lesson, and although I already knew much of the material, the lesson refreshed my memory on the marvelous power of the gradient tools.

In this lesson I learned the basics of animating and adding filters in flash.

In this animation I throw a tiny ball of fire and groove out to the Great-Value brand audio I found on iMovie. Although I feel it was a bit lacking in certain areas, I'm actually quite fond of the finished product as … Continue reading Finished Rotoscope →

I came to the conclusion that I absolutely despised my original raw footage and decided to completely re-film it around three days ago. That means I near completely restarted, which seems like a dangerous move in theory. However, I've done most of this full rotoscope in the span of three days, and have allowed the … Continue reading Pre-Submission Rotoscope Update →

In terms of the animation, I'm just starting to simplify it so I can genuinely complete it over the weekend. Though a bit late, I should most definitely have it done by next week.

So far progress has been relatively slow, though over the weekend I should make much more progress due to time constraints in other classes. I'm sticking to my original methods, though with a much more simplistic style.

At this point in the game, I'm coming to the realization that I need to simplify the art style just a bit, as it's currently a bit too detailed to be sustainable.

So far, I've moved onto rotoscoping the best part of the video; which is once more done with the pencil tool, and magic wand tool.
