My Ten Words

I can use html now! Another photoshop animation, and this one was to show the ten words that describe me. I am also on YouTube, so you'll see some of my videos there. This one, unlike the others, was exported as an mp4 and not a gif. It was also made with a video timeline, and not a frame animation, for those of you familiar with Photoshop. I love making videos this way, instead of drawing every single frame! I'd say the hardest part about this was thinking up animations, because I only have so much skill with this. So if I wanted the word to do a cartwheel...sorry, too hard. I'm sure someday I will figure it out. So over all this was fun, even though I messed up a few times. Thank Gosh I have 10 saves and so many layers. The cat is from morguefile.com, I don't know exactly why I chose it, it just caught my eye. That's all for now, bye bye!

A more realistic ball

Ta Da! It's the next animation in my slightly epic journey to become a master eCommications-ist. This is something like the first, except for the fact that it is bouncing on my name and actually making arcs. It's a smiley :) but when it squashes it turns into a somewhat >.< face. In the end, we could decide what to do with it. I just made it fall, and you can see the stretch. I bet the little guy doesn't know he's falling to his doom. Myahahahahaha! Kidding, he's just falling to change colors and become the previous animation. Plot twist! Anyway, made in Photoshop.

My first animation

Well, here it is! Pretty easy to tell that it's a ball continuously bouncing up and down, and the background was randomly made by me. You call tell that I exaggerated the squash and stretch technique used (see last post). Now I am thinking this looks like something from a children's show, I just need to add the "boing" sound. This is for Mr. Olson's class.

Me (Future Writer and Animator)

Hello, I am Ariel. I am usually a quiet person, but around friends I go insane. I am in the eComm program (http://www.onwravens.net/ecomm/), and this is my blog for that. For the assignment, I have to show a YouTube video about animation, and I chose one about Squash and Stretch.

Well, that's it for the first post. See you guys later! :)
