This section explains how I learned to animate. It could be argued that this is just research, but since I followed along with a tutorial, I consider this to be experimentation. This was possibly the biggest learning curve in the project for me. There was certainly a lot of trial and error involved.
Animation
Tutorial
Before this project I had never before used Adobe Animate. I didn’t know anyone that had ever used Adobe Animate. However, I did know that using Photoshop like I had done for all my previous animation projects was just not going to cut it this time. I needed a crash course and I found it in the form of a nine part YouTube tutorial. The video above is just part one.
Hover over image and click the arrows to flick through my notes.
After two full days off following the tutorials, and trying to make something of my own from them, I had made this two second clip.
It’s definitely not pretty, but without this clip, I would never have been able to complete my project. As you scroll through you can see me experimenting with the effects you can add depending on the
animation type you choose.
