weekend plan

• Monday dec 6th I am going to find all of the picture animals of the alphabet
• Tuesday dec 7th Look for more pictures, and match the picture with the lettering
• Wednesday dec 8th look for sounds
• Thursday dec 9th look for more sounds and start animation
• Friday dec 10th organize the animation's alphabet

3problems

• The three problems we might face is having to find the pictures for each of the letter of alphabets and then turning them into symbols and making them move.
• Trying to find a little kids voice saying each and every letter of the alphabet.
• Making each animal or symbol in the alphabet move around

ME & ADRI

• 5 reasons why story boarding is benificial because this has like a story to be told using images in a sequence 
• it can also be very time consuming 
• this is a purpose of pre-visualizing a animation, or a motion picture 
• it will help you plan the animation and help you plan 
• a panel of a sequence of sketches of actions and changes of action and the plan film like it can help you see what your out come would be.  
• it will give you a better feel of the idea and what the next scene will look like.

What would you Create?

I would like to use animation and build a volleyball court and volleyball players and reinact a volleyball scene when someone kills the ball, meaning that someone spiked the ball hard and the other players didnt get her hit

What I learned today.....

I learned how to make a figure shaped as a man or woman whatever you desire. I learned how to connect the joints together and how to make him/her move into different positions. By me learning this now my animations could be more better.

give and take from seating chart

The arrangement of the new seating chart is going to benefit me because I can work independently, get help from the people next to me.

I can also help the people next to me, and by me helping them I will learn how to do things better.+

Mask Effect

-You name your first layer masked then click to 40 and insert a keyframe
-Then you add a new layer, and name it mask
-You also click on the 40 and insert a keyframe
-Then on your masked layer you draw what you desire wheather its shapes or anything you want
-You then create a shape that is bigger than your image
-On your mask layer go to modify timeline and layer properties click on mask and lock it
-Then you insert a motion tween and on the mask layer move your object or shape you made to go across what you just drew.
-As soon as you see the green line then thats where you know where the shape is going to be.
-Then you click on the masked layer and go to modify, timeline and layer properties then click on the masked and lock it.
-Then go to control and test your movie you are now finished and save your work.

How you can mess up

• You can mess up by not saving your symbol as a button.
• When your fixing your symbol and you forget to go back to scene 1
• You have to click on the figure that you want to make a keyframe

Steps for some one who wasn't in class

• First we clicked the rectangle tool and made a rectangle on top of the word finish line then we changed the gradient to red.
• Then make sure to make the angles to 5.00
• Add in a layer and name it signal
• Then convert it into a symbol but make sure its a button, then go to the transform tool and then click on your rectangle and click on it and make the gradient smaller into a circle in the center.
• Then go to library and click on the signal symbol and then your going to insert a keyframe and change the color to the gradient grey and then your going to add in another keyframe and change the color to gradient green then on the last frame your going to put a box over your light that way they can know where to click.
• Then your going to make a new layer and name it stop. Your going to go back to scene1 on the top left corner and go to window then actions then to global and then on timeline and click on stop movie then on the beginning of frame1 go to window then actions then global then timeline control and click stop then test your movie, your movie should stop then go to frame 65 and it should stop.
• Go to the layer  named signal then select the rectangle make sure your in scene and in the first layer. Then go to window, actions, global, timeline, and click start that way it will start when your mouse is on the signal light.
• Finally go to the layer named reset and select your reset button and go to window then global functions and then timeline and click on go
• You are done with your movie.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRI!(:<33

Steps to bug

first I made a circle which is the head of the bug and then save it as a symbol. Ex. mc_bug

• Second step: Is to go where your bug is and click on the icon and it will let you edit your bug therefore you can edit it.
• Then make a new layer and label it "body" then you are going to design your bugs body.
• Then add another layer or two more layers and label one of them left wing and the other right wing
•  Go to the paint and put the alpha to 40 then on the layer labeled "left wing" your design the left wing of your bug and then copy the wing and paste it in the layer that says "right wing" so both your wings will be the same size.
• Your going to go to frame 2 and insert a blank key frame in layers one through four and in the second frame your gong to spread out the wings so that it looks like the bug is flying.
•  Go and test your movie
• Finally go back to scene 1 and select your bug and insert a motion tween then drag your bug to where you want it to end up, make sure your in the last frame though. You test your movie and your bug should be moving to the points where you put it. 

Steps on how to make wheels spin

-I selected the inside of the tire and clicked shift then the mouse.
-Then we dragged what we selected to the side and converted it into a movie clip symbol
-Then we clicked certain parts from the tire and clicked on the paint and selected a color i wanted then with                   the other parts of the tire that weren't selected you painted it black.
-When you are done you go and insert a motion tween.
-You go to properties and where it says rotation you click 4.
-Your tire should spin clockwise.
-Then you go back to the red car and drag the symbol and place it in the wheel
-You do the same to the back tire.
-Then you insert another motion tween and drag the green dot that was on the car to the other side of the                         screen.
-Then you go and test your movie and your car should move forward and the tires should spin clockwise as if the car is moving forward.

All the class movies! and MY opinions

-Butterflies with pink flowers, they did a good job but I think more could of been done a little bit more with the butterflies.

-Hobo one, we were working on fireworks to delete the background, the animation is well done but I don't get the point or what is he trying to say in his/her movie. You could edit your pictures and do your movie in a more sequence order.

-Futbol, I really don't like this animation, I just see a purple ball moving you can't even tell if that's a foot kicking it. They should of made the foot move. They needed another figure in there.

-Elaine, You focused to much on your name, instead of an actual animation. You need to add more to it its very boring and to fast.

-The red thingy, you seem to like video games? well your animations was cool not my type though, but good try.

-Leap frog, I really like you movie animation yours has been the best so far. You used a lot of movement and I understand the message of your movie.!(:

-Chinese figures, this movie animation actually felt like a cartoon movie. You were organized and the sequence of you movie is understandable.

-Mario and karate kid- you need to go back and mess around more with you animation you just make them like switch and boring! good try though.

-Star and heart, Yours is cool because you can't really do a lot with a star and heart it can't tell a storyy but it looks like a post it haaa!!!!!!!!!(:

-Football touch down, i like your animation movie but I think the ball looks toooo big you should of made it even more smaller at the end. but its cool(:

-Grr, I lovee your movie animation its the BESTESt(:

-Shaggy and tommy. i like your animation but its toooo short you need to work a little more on it.

-yellow crown shaped thingy_ yours is boring and to fast the only thing that stands out is the yellow thing. your animation don't look like anything its not telling a story.

-Dragon with fire- its boring the fire is to fake. you need more work.

-Devil with chicken- yours is different. I dont like it.
 butt uhm good job.

How I made my animation movie

 I first grabbed an image from the internet, then I opened up the Fireworks icon and I dragged my image from my desktop and put in on the blank page in fireworks. Then I had to make the background turn white by using 3 tools called: Marquee tool, Lasso tool, and the Magic Wand tool. After I was done doing that I saved each image to my desktop, then I opened up Flash and dragged the three images from my desktop to the blank screen in flash. My three objects appeared.

Now I want my left figure to flip in the middle and land to the bottom of the screen. So I clicked on insert then motion tween, then I clicked on the timeline on layer 1, then I clicked on the properties panel and where it says rotation you choose how many time you want your figure to rotate, I chose one and clockwise. When Im done with that I drag my figure to the bottom of the screen when it was originally on the top left side of the screen.

For the second figure i chose which is on the bottom right, is going to move to bottom left. So I clicked on my figure and went to insert, then clicked on motion tween and then I clicked on the tween span on clicked on number 27 and went to insert then clicked timeline, then keyframe, then I clicked on window and then on motion presents and chose the effect called bounce smoosh and clicked apply.

Thats it, my animation is done.

fl vs the video

The video we just watched is different from what we worked on yesterday because, now we don't have to work as hard to make the animation. The animation done in the computer is easier and faster, the computer provides you the tools and all the nessecities to make an animation. Back then in the days they didn't have our technology, so basically they had to make the animations by scratch; the hard way. Now we can make a movie in an hour, when back then to make a simple video took forever. Both animations have similarities and differences. They both showed a type of movie or video. differences is that the animation now is more clear and deliberate, and back then it was blurry and sort of messy.

Create motion

First you open a new file,  then click on the selector key and select your object after you have selected it draw an object. Then you go to insert and click on tweet and trace the object you have drawn then a green line is going to appear and you can put it in a straight line or wavy or zigzags. Then you press enter and your drawing will move according to what kind of way you designed you green line then on the timeline you can make it go fast or slow. Then you could look at the toolbar and mess around with your object.

What I learned

Brian was WRONG! Because even though the poem wasn't copyrighted, the poem still belonged to Sarah, she made it up. Although if she gets her poem copyrighted its still going to be with her for about 70 years after her death. The poem will still belong to her.

Copyright Vocabulary

1. Copyright- It belongs to that person and no one else can claim because it's already yours by law.

2. Fair Use-You can use it but no for long, like there's a limit of the portion you want to use.

3. First Sale Doctrine- You could use someone's work once its sold to you, and you purchased it, they have control now. Once its yours you could do whatever with it.

4. Intellectual Property- If you just imagine it, then you can't copyright it.

5. Patent- If you have a new invention then you take it to a patent officer, you could use it for a limited time and if you want more time you can ask for an extension.

6. Permission- Someone telling you that you can borrow it.

7. Phonorecords-Something is available in a digital way.

8. Plagiarism- You copy someone else's work word per word, its exactly the same.

9. Public Domain- When someone creates something and then it expires then its now open for the public.

10. Trademark- A symbol or slogan representing that its yours.

the love poem

Brian is wrong because he never wrote the poem, Sarah did. He's taking ALL the credit when he's actually the one that didn't write anything. He should of asked if its okay if she can use it for a song, since the song is a hit. He should give her some money because she's the one with the idea of the poem. If it wasn't for the poem he wouldn't have had money or anything. So she deserves to get her share also, regardless if it was plenty of years ago. If i was Sarah i would have taken this to court and let the judge decide it all.
