PE6- Flash CS5

My Flash project is at a standstill. I wanted to continue to watch my Flash tutorials to see all the possibilities. I was constantly amazed. I cannot believe all the work that has to go into creating movement for an animation. One of the difficulties I was having is my reference to sizes. I really have none and don’t understand what I would need to change sizes to. I think that will all be trial and error for me. Tonight I my focus was on creating animation inside animation.  Having a class in Month 6, which will require me to use Flash is going to be great for me. I am glad I went through these tutorials, however, I will be watching each one again.

PE5- Flash CS5

Animation is something I’ve been spending more time on. I have been exploring the many motion presets and how to create them so that I can reuse them. I have been applying all the things that I have found so that I can retain them, however, I am learning so much information in a very short time and my retention is not so good. I find that I have to go back and review videos.  Lynda.com is awesome. I know I will be using Flash in month 6 and I am very glad I am watching and using it now. As I watch and watch again, it is becoming easier or a least more familiar.

PE4- Flash CS5

Flash allows you to move animation and change focus on each animation individually. This creates more depth and changes where the viewer focuses. I am amazed at how some small changes and details create an entirely new presentation. I am also learning how to create layers after, to allow things to appear when I want them to and creating more movement. I realize that my uploaded video does not look very impressive, but I did learn a lot creating it and it did take me a lot longer that it may appear.

PE3- Flash CS5

I am learning the importance of importing images as a new layer so that I can apply effects to each layer. I have spent a lot of time on just a few images but I am learning a lot. Flash is a really great tool, however, it is a little overwhelming. I also made the mistake of saving my work as a document which removed all the effects I created. I am looking forward to using this tool and learning more about it.

PE2- Flash CS5

I am discovering some of Flash's incredible options. With Flash you are able to import images and layer them. I didn't really plan out what I was going to do because I had no idea of Flash's capabilities but this images is what I have created so far. This program would help me create a beautiful web page with images and animations.
