:: Assignment Write-up ::



For starters,
when creating my animation, I realized that most of my vector files containing strokes had way too many points. And when trying to animate in Flash, it caused the system to crash. Next, I converted all the files into (png-24) files and assembled the layers from there into flash. After converting the bitmaps to symbols. I began animating on the crocodile. I created the instance of having all his main joints moving with the rotation tool. Once I arranged the pieces to seem more realistic, I created a motion guide. Along the motion guide, I chose to ease in and out and rotated the crocodile to make it more interesting. From there I added an action-script to make the croc stop and hover. This is to later add interaction with him.
The other animation is with one of the shrub symbols. In symbol edit mode, I  transformed the size and eased in and out to make the shrub seem to physically breathe.
