Olaf Title Task


I already created the Olaf waving but then i decided to add text onto the gif. Firstly i had to think of what i would write on the image and i decided to simply put 'Olaf the Snowman'.

Before i created the text i selected a key frame of 45. i didnt chose a key frame of 100 because i didnt want the text to be on all the way through the gif, just to be on for a while and then go off afterwards. Once i selected my key frame of 45 i then began to create my text. 

i created my text by using the Text icon in the toolbar and the Text column at the top of the screen.

I then went on the tab control and tested my movie.

Olaf


For this task i had to select an image and make a part of that image move. I decided to chose Olaf out of Disney's Frozen. Because the image i selected was 3D not 2D i had to add an effect of the image so it would change and look 2D.
Afterwards, i then chose which part of the image i was going to have moving and i decided to chose his arm to make i look like he was waving.

i done this by firstly selecting a key frame of 100 and then i carefully selected around the arm and moved it further up. Afterwards i then tested my movie and this was my final piece:

2D Animation: Scale & Rotate Exercise

 
I started off with creating a new file on Adobe Flash and I then imported a picture of a cartoon eye and I dragged it into the Library. Before I done that, i editied the size of the blank document and made in 600 pixels by 550 pixels as it was orignally smaller and I needed it bigger for this task.
 
 
I then dragged the image onto the new page, i then when on Modify>Convert to Symbol. My next instruction was to click on the tab at the top called 'Modify' and then 'Transform' and then 'Scale' and i then had to make the image smaller in Frame 1 to a maximum size of 40 pixels.
 
 
Once I resized the image I then scrolled along my timeline and created a Key Frame of 100. On that Key Frame I then used Modify>Transform>Scale to enlarge the Eye.

Once I have enlarged the picture I then slected Window>Transform and Rotate to rotate the image to about 180 degrees. Once I finished that I then clicked on Frame 1 and held the shift key down and i then clicked on Frame 100 and used the right mouse button to apply a Classic Tween. You know that the Classic Tween has worked because along the timeline there will be a long arrow going from Frame 1 to Frame 100.
 
Once I finished all of that I then tested my movie in Flash and I then exported the movie and saved the file as a .fla file and I exported it as an animated gif.
