Frame by Frame


Use Flash to create a frame by frame animation! It should be at least 75 frames in length and contain at least one animation principle. The content of the animation can be anything that is educationally appropriate. Your short animation can be a progressive artpiece (meaning that it slowly forms over time). If you're lacking ideas, create a bouncing ball animation (with squash and stretch) like we did on paper earlier in the year but extend it this time and add an environment ( backgrounds).
Use the onion skin feature to control the amount of movement in between each frame. You can slide the onion skinning brackets to adjust the number of frames visible. Your grade will be based on the smoothness of movements, the use of principles throughout your production, and overall effort.


F5 creates empty frames
F6 creates an identical keyframe from the previous one
F7+fn creates blank keyframes.

Your required reading for understanding frames and onionskinning is pages 220-221 using the e-book we downloaded last class.
It's also located here if you need to download it again (right click, save link as).
