Week 8 / Tuesday


By Jove she's got it!

At last today I manged to animate a gecko, I was thrilled with myself! I decided to totally get to grips with this animation assignment today and at least choose something to animate, can't remember exactly how I ended up with a gecko but I did. I then decided I wanted to make her move across the page, possible get wrapped in plastic and then blink.

Reasons for this is that it would show use of filters, the cut and copy tools along with of course layers. SO I did grasp the blinking bit, and have also cut out said gecko a few times copied layers and also split Gerty into different body parts to be able to animate a leg movement. I did get a crude movement across the page but need to accentuate the leg movements more.

So all in all I am soooo chuffed with myself today to think that I am finally understanding stuff, until that is Steve went headlong into the explanation of Adobe Premiere and I was totally lost after about a minute! But have been assured that all will become clear upon use...AAAAAhhhhh!

Now I am going to attempt to load CS3 onto my PC in a mo and will hopefully be able to upload Gerty to show you how cute she is!
