Animation Reflection

This was a really fun project! At first I was kind of stuck at what kind of story to give it while keeping it related to the class. So I went back to my first post and decided to do something about twitter. I was a little confused at first about what was expected of me for the project, so I ended up with two storyboards)one being a template I used in photoshop and the other being the comic I made. The comic webware I used was Toonlet and it was a breeze to use. The process to make my comic was basically choose a character pack, constuct your own characters(with plenty of options for face, head, body and arms) then add the text. Everything on it was really straight forward and easy to find the link in my blog. The webware I used for my animation was GoAnimate. This one was a little more tricky to use compared to the comic, which didn't come as a surprise to me as an animation is more complicated than a comic. So while I didn't instantly get it, it didn't take long for me to get a hang of it. Yet the process was fairly similar to the comic, except you had to add in the scenes, the duration of each one as well as movement and facial expression. Overall I enjoyed using it though. Definitely a cool project though.
