Pre-Historic Flash Animation Project

Project Description
1. Something that blew your mind from the lectures
One thing that blew my mind from the lectures was Catal Hoyuk, the city without streets. It was basically buildings built on top of each other. I thought it was interesting to think about that kind of architecture and what it could do today.
2. Your process learning Flash
Ms. Roxy first taught us how to import things like pictures to our library. Then she taught us how to convert those things to symbols and motion tween those symbols. After she saw our basic backgrounds, which were two rectangles of green and blue colour, she told us to use cloud and grass brushes to make our backgrounds from then on. After that, we were set free to do what we wanted and work on our projects. We learned shape tweens, motion tweens, importing, exporting, etc.
3. Your favorite part of Adobe Flash and why you like it
My favorite part of flash was motion tweening things. It was fun to make a ball bounce or a space ship fly or a mammoth chase a hunter.
4. Explain a time/project when you see yourself using Flash again
A time when I see myself using Flash again is if i want to do a funny little movie to show my friends or to advertise for something.
Xtranormal Animation

Xtranormal Animation Project
In this project, we had to make an animation in Xtranormal.com. We experimented with facial expressions, sounds and camera angles. This project was really a pre-project to the animation project we are about to start. This project was fun because we got to decide what our animation was about. My animation was basically my speech for MUN put into the text.
Self-Portrait
Self Portrait
I had a lot of fun with this project. We were set free to do whatever we want in Photoshop. I decided to make something to do with me moving here from Texas. So I put the texas flag as the sky to represent that Texas is a big part of my background. I put the colorado flag on my shirt to represent that Colorado is what I am wearing now.

Teacher-Creature Project
Project Reflection In this project we took pictures of our teachers and incorporated their head onto some other animal/object/person. We had to use all of our knowledge we had acquired and put it to the test. I liked this project because we got to take the skills that we had learned over the course of the past couple months and use it to make funny posters of our teachers. I think I was successful because I used a lot of the things that our teacher had taught us to do because I had listened when she was explaining something and remembered it. Something I would recommend to an incoming freshman before starting this project would be to look at some of the projects that other kids from past years had done. I think this would help because you would get ideas from the other projects and maybe improve on the idea or get inspired to come up with a really good idea. If I were to do this again, I would push myself on two things. The first is making all the elements in the picture blend color-wise and also perspective-wise. Another thing I would push myself on is using 3-D objects to add perspective to the picture.
