I set out to create a short animation focusing on the four elements (Earth, Fire, Air & Water). I feel I have achieved this by telling a story of a young dragon flying through the Elemental Planes. I feel my greatest achievement was the creation of my dragon fly cycle. I was proud of this…

Scene 7 On this scene I created a more simple scrolling background where only the clouds move to show the dragon flying through the air towards the city of the Plane of Air, again using motion tweens to create the animation. Scene 8 I quickly created a background for my dragon to fly through, using…

Scene 4 I was unable to source another dragon vector that I was happy with so I worked up the courage to draw my own. I took me many attempt but eventually I was satisfied with what my classmates called my Toothless x Charizard hybrid. I animated him with in the symbol so that his…

Project Aims and Actions Digital Skills Needed Here I will set out the digital skills that will be needed to complete the animation project. Software knowledge: Adobe Animate & Adobe Illustrator – I may need to look into online tutorials on how to use animate due to the tight amount of lesson time I have.…

I needed to include within my animation all of these aspects somewhere in the story.The main task here would be to create a computer animation design, the animation needed to have a clear narrative which entertains the…

In this lesson we learnt how to use ActionScript 3 to create a button to progress an animation. The animation that would play would be simple for this task as it would be a object like a ball or sphere moving across the screen. Then I would create a new symbol and make it a…
