Final Stop Motion Animation


Flash Animation Research:
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 is an authoring tool that you can use to create presentations, applications and other content that responds to user interaction.


Projects created in Flash are known as SWF applications even if they only contain minimal animations.


Vector graphics use less memory and storage then others, but they come up smaller as they are represented by mathematical formulas.


A symbol is a graphic, move, button clip that can create manually. A symbol can include artwork that we can import from another applications.


In order to create an application in Flash professional you have to start by creating graphics or elements then adding media elements like video and audio.


The first of the five parts that builds up to the user interface is 'The Stage'. This is like a canvas that shows you the area that you can play with when placing on your graphics. 
The second part is 'The Timeline' and the third is called 'The Tools Panel' this contains the use of tools to use to select objects.


To publish a FLA file you select File, Publish. After this it will then compress

Stop Motion Animation:
A stop motion animation is a cinematic process, or technique used to make static object appears as if they were moving. This technique is commonly used in claymation and puppet-based animation. The objects are brought to life by breaking up the figure's motion into increments and filming one frame of film per increment.
GIF Animation:
GIF Animation stands for Graphic Interchange Format


An GIF Animation is a graphic file type that is composed of many different images on top of each other. Together the images are compressed and worked together to create movement, and to give the appearance of a mini movie.
Animation of the square turning into a circle 
In class we started doing some animations on a site called Adobe Flash CS5 which was moving animation with objects, in this animations I chose to turn a square into a circle, I enjoyed doing this animation even though it was a challenging and took me ages to get it right, but when it was finished I was really happy with it. After playing around with Adobe CS5 I really enjoyed creating these animations even though they were quite difficult at first but then I got the hang of it.


Feedback On My Art Animation:
I was told that my animation was really good; it fitted in well with the project, and came across really successful. I had a lot of positive feedback, which I was happy about, but I had some criticism, which was good because then I could work on what I need to improve to make my animation much better.
I was told that I could add some music to fit in with the animation and also take some more pictures around the college to show off what the college is about and how good it is.
