The stages for my action plan are the following:
.first I want to learn how to do motion tweens which are how to move a graphic from one part of the sequence to another across the screen.

Here is an example of a motion tween:

 so next week from this post I will be looking at tutorials  and learn and show that i have learnt how to do it.

.after that I want to learn how to do a shape tween to learn how to  change a shape really

Here is an example of a shape tween:

.
the next thing I want to do is create my own character. in Flash.

Here are examples of characters created in Flash:

I will post up work in progress for my challenge. I will share what I have produced with others in my class and ask them for feedback.  I will then look at this feedback and review what I have produced and achieved.

Unit 1 Part A

What I think my strengths and weaknesses are:

strengths in media I think my main strength in media is animation i also like doing animation the most and an example of this strength is my own animation that i did and also i think that animation is my strength because it is the most enjoyable thing i do and when i enjoy doing something my brain works better. dosent make any sense but that's the reason.

My main weakness is Video because i dont enjoy it i dont have any enthusiasm to it and i absolutely despise doing anything about video so when i do stuff about it i put no effort into it at all. i dont like because it's to complicated you have to do storyboards work in groups. also you have to describe your story threw video and i prefer written stories if a story form a book is translated onto video their is one exception such as harry potter but all the rest the ruin the written word.

an example of this is planes paper the trailer.

A new challenge

with all the previous work i want to set my self something new and challenging to accomplish using the same basis as flash to create this new thing what i was thinking of doing was creating a charecter in flash and then going a differnet direction by creating a background image in flash none of these images will eb animated but they will just challenge myself to create new things so it progresses me onto the eventual challenge off moving the charecter and having an original background to use in future projects.

for this challenge i will need creativity and the software I have already mentioned will be flash wivh i do have experiance in but all i have done on it is simple aniamtions never original idea i was simply just tracing over htings and moving the eyes I have not yet created an original charecter which i am looking forward to do because it allows me to be creative with the background i am taking it out off a show i am doing that to get adjusted to the scale of an animation background.

Planes paper the trailer

  This is the movie planes paper edited on I movie in comic book style the time is 30 seconds long created from the clips I shot last week to evaluate the project I did not enjoy it and I would not like to do this in the future because my main intrest is not video and if you watch the clip you will see that the group I was in didn't put any effort into the project we just did what we were told to explore video but at the start  of the project i knew I didn't want to do it anyway because I already know what i want to do for the final project and that is animation. so to finish I dint enjoy the project i wouldn't change anything next time I did it expect if we had more time then i would put effort into it but for this I wouldn't change anything and I dont want to do this again in the future

made by Blindman studios.

Paper Planes

The video is not well made it's about paper airplanes just crashing into each other that is the main story. and after that they get bombs dropped onto them this is the original footage it's only two clips there are five all together it will a bit decent when we edit it. I dont see doing this in my future.
 (again very badly made no effort)
