November 30th

I drew lots today!

I drew the scene where James wakes up late, James running and the girl walking with a lion

So far, the whole story is 20seconds!

It's so weird... because it's so short :<

I will have to colour the pictures and make them look more 'professional' by making the movements more smoothly.

Ugh but I still have a problem

The whole video looks more like a powerpoint of images.. than 'animation'

Anyway, what ever it looks like, I must finish the story.

Must.

MUST

P.S.

Niv was very quite today

Bery pleased with him today

I hope he stays like that all year!

November 28th

I am still working on my story. Today, instead of making more frames, I wrote the script of the story and edited the seconds of the frames. I didn't draw anything today because I forgot my tablet : <
This is the video after I edited 

I only changed the timing of each seconds. Also, I learned that F5 adds frames! My life is so easier now

Anyway, Niv is so. annoying. 

I bet his DNA is made of PURE ANNOYANCE
I just can't stand him.
I consider myself as a very calm person and tries to never like get angry. But it's so just
ANNOYING!!!!
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Mr Daly how do you stand him during class?
If I was you, I would give him 65 every grade. I would also just ignore him during class and never go near him to help like my dad does to me and mum.
I really believe those students should come to Korea and learn some etiquette.
or read this book



****Script****
My name is James. I have 5 sisters. As you can see, they are all busy doing all their 'businesses' which are talking on phones, singing, watching reality shows, and checking the new hair styles out.
--to be continued

November 22nd

I worked on my story the whole class.
I am glad that I have now something to work on!
I changed the story plot a bit. First, I made Jane to James. He has 5 sisters and is the only boy in the family.
I managed to do a lot! I am very proud hahah

as you can see, I tried to put effort into small details like the faces of the people and the background and all.

After thinking, I am going to put voice in. I guess I will do that after I finish with the movie clip!

um I am going to add a narrator or something to make the story flow. I decided to do the voice because it's really painful to put speak bubbles for every scene.

But the voice thingy isn't in my interests right now because that's far away.

As you can see, the last scene is when the alarm clock rings!

I am starting to think I am going to make the video 5minutes.. so far I have 17 seconds! ahhh

omg

I change it to 3 minutes.

This video is really a collage of what I know about flash. 

1. Motion Tween

2. changing colors of the brush 

3. Making text write one by one 

4. making objects move without me having to make a frame movement one by one

5. how to make the boundaries and the color inside the object differ

__________________________________________________________

I am going to make a story and an animation like Segev's!
I don't exactly know how my story is going to look like so I am brain storming now
When I make a story, I am going to consider 3 things
1. Easy to draw
2. not too many movements

It will be a story about Jane. She will wake up late for school. She runs to school.
The story will be about things she finds on her way to school
1. She sees a girl walk with a lion
2. Sees a man selling an icecream
3. Helps a kid go across the road
4. arrives at school and realizes that it's thanksgiving holiday

November 16th

My first project is going to be this: making my logo glow
http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/effects/make-your-flash-logo-bling-with-alpha-gradient-masking/

This ended up horribly. First, this 'step by step' isn't technically 'step by step' for beginners.
I tried this 10times and read the procedure I was stuck on at least 10 times. I do not understand.

I hate. the. internet.
I hate it so much.

There are these types of advertising sites that has a title of  'cs3 flash tutorials' and has bunch of porn links.
UGH
It's so ANNOYING.
I HATE THE INTERNET.
nothing works and google seriously needs to start deleting sites and blogs that has trash informations.
I am dead serious. I recently saw a video how if you weigh the information online, it will be 50g. And 50g is A LOT.

that is the video I saw. 

I hope one day in the future, you won't have to click hundreds of links to find the right source. 

Btw, I am not a bad researcher. I know all those 'tricks' for searching up online. You can put ""s on words or quote, write - for things you dont want and stuff. But there just are tooo ooooo many information online to do it perfectly. 

November 14th

This is the video I used for dynamic path!
It's cool because you can move objects by making a path by drawing it.
So basically, you draw a path by a pencil or brush tool. You then place the ball at the beginning of the line or at the end of the line.
I also learned that when you press ctrl+enter, you get this pop up window and your animation runs.
I would like to just say that because there are too many sites in the internet, I find it terribly hard to find the right source for me.

I also am sorry how I don't have really a project I am working on right now. I think I will play while doing the project. It's just annoying how I still havn't really found a reliable source. Especially when I go to youtube for video tutorials, I find these videos but I don't understand exactly how they are doing it.

To be honest, I don't really learn much in this class. I just don't understand this system of
'you are in charge of what you do and you will learn skills by the internet'

When I learned photoshop, swish-max, powerpoint in Korea, the teachers gave us a hand-out made by themselves; meaning that they know 100% about this software.
And I don't even feel like I am learning a new thing every class.
It's just.. not my way of learning.
And I don't think this helps others either in my class because I very often see Garrett watching videos of experts' work of animation made by Blender. He hardly knows any 'thing' about the software.

I think it's about time we get textbooks or handouts and make students do their project based on the book. It's just terrible to make students learn by the internet. You don't know how tempting facebook and other sites are..

November 9th

I finally got to know about making images move without me having to move it by hand

November 7th

Segev helped me very much! and I enjoyed making it
I am going to bring my tablet next class so it would be much easier to draw!

This video was made in a very very very short time. So there really isn't much detailed into it.
But it helped me to understand how the flash works and the time line works. 

November 3rd

thanks Segev! I don't know what I would have done without Segev
I kinda couldn't find any source of a good flash tutorial today.

I hate internet sometimes.. there are just tooo much information.
I will attach the thing I made today in class somehow

November 1st

After learning that Atomic learning is horrible, I started to find my own sites to learn flash.
I came up with 3 korean sites...
so if you don't mind having Korean on your screen... open the links
