Zoo

Process:The process to making this zoo podcast is we had to go to zoo biology to get the information and read it off on Audacity. I also used Photostory. Photostory is you can edit you pictures to different shapes and effects, you can also use different transitions and slides, and enter text and music to make it more interesting! When it was all said and done I inserted music from Global.

Purpose: The purpose of why we did this for Snowed Inn is to advertise so we can get more viewers and also too show that we have alot to offer.We thought advertising animals would be a great way to do that.

Possibilities: The possibilities we could use Photostory for is for example say you have a business and you need to have pictures to adverties them with. You could use Photostory to edit your photos and give your business that glow and it will attract viewers, so it helps you by a million.

Text Animation

Text Animation

      Text animation is a fun application that you can pretty much do anything on, well almost anything. You can morph objects, make a circular object bounce, you can change the color off text from one color to the next automatically, you can even squish a object. See I told you almost anything. Macromedia is really a lot of fun and it's easy to do what you want. Try it out soon!

Morphing!
Bouncing Ball!
Color Text!
Text Animation 

Text Animation is about morphing, squishing something, making it bigger and larger, by moving it from one side to the other, or by making it go in a circle. Macromedia is really not the hard it is a very simple task to do when you are catching on to it. Most of the time it is a relaxing thing to do,
 
This one is glow text

This is the motion path were it moves

this is the Text colored

This is the one were the shapes are shattered.
 

Animations

Macromedia Flash is a multimedia
 platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to Web pages.
In Flash we made animations of our own starting with a bouncing ball and advancing from there.

Flash Animation

Flash Animation was very difficult assignment.  If you forgot something, it completely messed it up.  You also have to understand what you are doing when you do Flash Animation.  But, when you are finished with it, it looks really cool.

Motion Path Animation


Text Animation using flashfridge.com

To make a flash animation, you have to use Macromedia Flash.  Then you use key frames to make movement with your object. 



Flash Animation

Flash was a really complicated application to work with.  If you messed up any little thing you either had to start all over or try and find where you messed up. But when you get the hang of it you can create some really cool things!

To create the summer! animation I simply followed directions at Flashfridge.com.
 Flash animation was a hard process, I won't lie. I had a lot of trouble trying to get everything to work & look exactly how it was supposed to. As you can see, the text one wasn't really working out for me. Although, flash animation was fun. It taught me a lot of new things, especially patience!

 This is a moving animation










This is a text animation. As you can tell,
it didn't quite work out!
This is a bouncy animation



Flash Animations


Macromedia Flash is a multimedia platform we used to add animation to our videos. 

We did it by inserting frames, changing the colors, adding different motion tween , Drawing different shapes. How we got our object to move is we used key frames and frames.
 
In Flash we made animations starting with a bouncing ball and continuing from there.

 Text Animation

How I created the text animation is i followed the direction from this link.

 Morph Animation

For the morph animation I made one big circle and made it into tiny little circles. 

Path Animation 

Right below I made a rainbow ball following a motion path of a squiggly square




 






Flash Animations

  • Flash Animation was a more challenging project because you were totally screwed if your motion didnt work. If it didnt work you had to either start over or go where you left off and try to fix the changes. For me I had to start over alot because I completely suck at this. I still succeeded though and fixed all my mistakes.
  •  For the Summer Animation I went to TuCity Flash and I went to Stretch and Zoom Slide and followed the instructions of what to do. In that one I had to use alot of stretching and motion. For the Scene one it was really challenging you had to be able to get the scene to move so it took alot of keyframes. For the bouncy ball one we used the arrow alot to click and drag it so it was able to move. 


  

Macromedia Flash!

  • Flash animation was a challenging project but once you get and understanding of what you are doing its not so bad. I enjoyed it. It was hard at first and i had to start over many times but then i got the hang of it.


  •  We used Flash Animation and created a flash file. Then we created movement by using key frames and frames. We then followed directions that are giving to us by the teacher to make our projects move
  • This is bouncing objects!
    • These images are squish balls.

    •  These is a text Animation.

In Macromedia flash we learned how to make flash animations! Here are some of mine!!

This is my morph.gif

Macromedia Flash involves making a object move like a cartoon. In Macromedia Flash we make a bouncy ball that bounced off of the walls. We also made a squishy ball or a morph which is ball that changes sizes and shapes! Then we made picture of something, I made a lightening bolt. The last thing we did was text, my text had the zoom effect to it! In Macromedia we did all this by using flash and by inserting frames and changing the colors, drawing lines, and making a motion tween. There were alot of steps to making a flash animation in Macromedia.

Macromedia Flash

Using the Macromedia was the best thing to create these wonderful items. On the top left you have a morph that's is were you take to shapes and make them into one. The middle right is were we made a motion path with the ball. The bottom left is were we took words and stretched and zoomed in close on them. But other than that is what i basically did to all of them. I would recommend anyone who is up for a challenge to try out Macromedia!

We used Macromedia flash to make these GIFS. It was a little confusing to use, but with some help we got it figured out! We worked for macromedia for about two weeks!

 



This is my bouncing ball .gif

This is my mermaid following a motion path .gif
We first made flash animations in Macromedia. On the top we made the word "Hello" stretch and fade. On the top left we took a sqaure and a circle bounce around the box. To the right I made a Mermaid (following a motion path) rising up out of the ocean then going back in. On the bottom left I made what was originally a red circle bounce around the box, change color, and change shape. For most we had to draw the object and convert it to the symbol then place it where we wanted for each frame within a motion tween. For the mermaid, I also had to draw a motion path.
