Introduction to animation

 This is my final animation including post production for year 1 illustration. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it. I will discuss below how my process went, what I did and what hurdles I met along the way as well as the use of the 12 principles that I attempted to apply. ( Sound on! )  I hope you enjoyed!  Evaluation:  How I made the animation:  This animation has been created in Adobe animate. We had a few sessions learning how to use the programme which were really effective in giving me a baseline understanding, however I must confess when I got to animating some of what we had learnt slipped my mind. I had to figure out how to change the opacity on layers, for example. I also didn't know how to change my brush size and spent a lot of time in the menu bars trying to find certain features.  in terms of post production, this was all done in Adobe premier; I hit a hurdle immediately with this because I couldn't for the life of me ...

These so many issues with this first scene still, but I am pleased with how its going at this stage. When making scene 1 I was about a week BEHIND schedule for my animation, which was making me feel a lot of pressure to work.  Here is scene 1 with the beginnings of scene 2. You can see where I am going with it and I was gaining confidence now, and my work speed was increasing. My love of animation was coming back to me and I was being less precious and anxious about the result and just getting stuck in.  This is the first proper export I did of my animation before ...
