Genius Hour

Day 9

Today, I worked on a few new scenes for my movie. I added 2 monstrous beasts that the characters summon and fight. I added their attacks: Ifrit's (the fire dog) attacks is called meteor strike and bahamut's attack is known impulse. I had the 2 blasts hit each other and cause an explosion for each...

Day 8

Today, I learned about the split motion feature for flash. What this does is that it separates one action from another. When one of my guys lifts his sword up, it brings it back down way to early, so the split motion makes it so that it starts moving down after a certain point (In this case, it...

Day 7

Today I was introduced to a new website where it showed me videos about all the tools in the Flash CS6. Today, I worked on a few tools: the pen tool. the brush tool, and the bone tool. I made a stick person using the pen and brush tool and I made him move body parts using the bone tool. I learned...

Day 6

Since I was at the assembly on Day 5, I wasn't able to do anything. Today, however, I watched a couple of videos on animation in flash and how to create platform games.

Day 4

Day 3

Today, I worked in Flash on my game, but I still had to learn the basics of its features. I went to actionscript 3.0 and did a stop motion animation

Day 2

For most of this day, I tried to get my old webnode back so I wasn't able to get a lot done today. For 5 minutes, however, I managed to open up flash and opened some samples and played around with them. In the next session, I plan to play a little more with some of the samples in flash and attempt...

Day 1

I was thinking of ideas what I want to learn for genius hour. I was watching animations from an old videogame I used to play called Final Fantasy X and I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be cool if I can do something like this? Making the animations in this videogame, making an almost duplicate of...
