Genius Hour
Day after genius hour event
1. What are your thoughts about our celebration of learning?
I think it was a great experience being able to show what I learned to other people. I was not afraid to say that I made some mistakes, but overall I was proud of my work and what I was capable of doing and learning by myself and I...
Presentation of my Learning
Q1: What did I really learn?
I learned the basic features of animation in flash. By using the motion tween, I was able to animate my characters in a way so that I did not need to move them myself. I also learned about the fading feature, where I was able to make something fade in and fade out....
Day 17
Today, I was able to put the finishing touches on my movie. I really wish I was able to do more but I guess this will have to do. I really like this genius hour session. It gives me the opportunity to do and make whatever I do as long as I can do it myself without teacher help. With minimal...
Day 16
Today, I decided to continue on with my second part. For this part, instead of making a person bleed when they get hit, I wil make it so that their body part that got hit fades away. That is a trick I managed to pull after learning that I was able to fade an object while using the motion tween. I...
Day 15
Today since I was no longer to edit the first part of the movie, I had to recreate it. So the mistakes I never managed to fix in the first part are still there. I managed to recreate the bodies and background while trying to make it look more smooth that no one would notice that i changed it. From...
Day 14
I wasn't able to do anything because my file was corrupted from the last time I used it. Unless I can get it fixed, I won't be able to do any editing at all. Furthermore, my fading feature in Flash had disappeared, so in order to fix that, I'm going to have to fix my file.
Day 13
Today, I had managed to create the fading screen in order for the flux bauble to work and teleport them from a different place and resume the battle. I had managed to do it without leaving any trace of the old location at all. I had learned the fading feature in Flash. I had troubles finding out...
Day 12
Today, I decided to add an animation where one of the guys uses an item that teleports them from one place to another. I am going to have them use an item called a flux bauble, where they will lift it up and will teleport them from the place they are currently in to another. However, I am not sure...
Day 11
Today, I decided to add another creature into my animation project. In photoshop, Im making several layers of Ixion's (thunder horse) body parts so I can animate him during the video. I am going to make him fight against nightmare with his large horn. It is undecided whether or not he will be the...
Day 10
Today, I wanted to make a loop of Bahamuts wing moving up and down simultaneously, so that it would create effect that would look like Bahamut is flying. What I did was that every 12 frames, I moved the wing down, then up the next 12 frames, and so on. Because bahamut's wings were a motion tween,...
