A new semester, more new cool stuff to learn. In this semester, we are being taught on how to use Adobe Flash. A small exercise was given to us, which is to create a 4 second animation. Below is the finished product, in
avi form.
The above are the pictures which I'm going to use in my animation. My theme is 'Michael Jackson'.
1. I opened my
Adobe Flash (I'm using CS5), chose the
ActionScript 3.0, then changed the size of the stage to
400 x 250 as per stated in our exercise requirement.
2. I changed the frame rate to
12 frames per second, then opened the
Import to Library option under the
File tab. I chose the
4 pictures which I'm going to use and imported them to my library.
3. I created a new layer in my timeline, then created a
frame (shortcut key: F5) at the
48th frame to mark the end of my animation (
12 frames per second, 4 seconds). I placed my background picture in my stage, then renamed the layer as '
background'.
4. I created a new layer, created a frame at the
48th frame again, and placed and arranged the picture as shown above. I then renamed the layer as '
picture 1'.
5. I created a new layer, created a keyframe at the
12th frame (shortcut key; F6), and placed and arranged the picture as shown above. I then renamed the layer as '
picture 2'.
6. I created a new layer, created a keyframe at the
24th frame (shortcut key; F6), and placed and arranged the picture as shown above. I then renamed the layer as '
picture 3'.
7. I created a
folder, named it as '
pictures', and moved my picture layers into the folder as shown above.
8. I created a new layer, created a keyframe at the
36th frame (shortcut key; F6), and used the
Type Tool and used '
Disintegration' font and
font size 48, typing the words '
Michael Jackson' as shown above. I then renamed the layer as '
font'.
9. I opened the
Filters tab, chose the
Drop Shadow option, and chose
orange colour for the shadow as shown above.
