The Assignment!---Diary Entry 4 (extended)---

I asked Mr Lennon about my saving problem and it turns out that i was saving it wrong. I was supposed to export instead of 'Saving as'. Once i knew that i got to work on my animation and have done exactly 30 frames to date! Very happy! lol

It's now coming to an end to this lesson and i really dont want it to! lol



Time flys when your having fun! (or at least when you know what your doing!)

The Assingment!---Diary Entry 4---

So I left last lesson on a bad note but i am determined to make an animation! (lol) I'm having alot of trouble with saving things which sounds stupid but i cant figure out if i'm supposed to save or export... i think thats why i had problems last lesson... I'll redo my animation from the start.

Here goes...

The Assignment!---Diary Entry 3---

I have drawn my characters and background and started my animation. The problem is that when i saved my frames i wasn't aware that it was only saving my character, so at the end of last lesson when i was feeling really proud of myself i went into my saved frames only to see the exact same character around 20 times! Not my frames which i had painingfully moved millimetres for the past 50mins.
Not happy Jan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Assignment!---Diary Entry 2---

I have decided to use Inkscape as my software of choice. Inkscape is a drawing program where you use vector images (where you can individually change the shapes). I decided on Inkscape because it is a lot easier to change things as you go along.
The process:
*today i will design my characters and background and hopefully start my animation.

(bitmap-change individual pixels/vector-change shapes)

The Assignment!---Diary Entry 1---

Today is Tuesday the 25th March, 2008 and so is the first day i shall start the asignment. I have a vague idea of what i would like to do- My character will enter the room from the left (as required), in the background there will be a kitchen and a table with a sandwhich on top. My character will look right then left, pick the sandwhich up and eat it, then walk off to the right. Sounds Easy. I dont think i'll be that lucky.



Stay tuned and keep reading the marvellous blogs that will come ahead for 'The Assignment'.

Enjoy.
