Friday's lesson we were taught how to animate using timeline. We used the tablets to draw our frames at 12fps. We had to create an animation of approximately 5 seconds and include at least 1 of the 4 elements in our animation. I did a plan as to what I wanted my animation to be of.
I planed to include all of the elements to test myself on whether I could animate them well or not.
The first element you see if fire, this is the only bit in colour because I thought my animation need some vibrate in it, to make it slightly more fun. As it's coming up to halloween I made this my theme, I have the ufo crashing into the ground, which is where the next element comes in, and the surface cracks.
Next, it's not exactly water, but the fact that the ufo melts and turns into a liquid is the same thing. This is also the bit I like most, I think I animated that well, but there could be more frames before the ghost like creature rises up, I think it's too fast and unclear that the ghost creature has been created from the melted ufo.
Wind is the next elements and even though I like the movement of the ghost being swept away, I think more frames could have been added at the end to make the animation smoother.
I didn't really like animating in Photoshop mainly because I find it difficult to draw something decent with the tablets. I found adding a new layer for colour difficult, so for this I just added colour on the same layers making it so if I made a mistake I'd have to try and avoid the outline of the drawings.
