Animation

I created my animation to represent my house. I choose a frog because it was an animal that realates to the colour green and i found it easy to draw. I made a normal fly come in first so that it shows how powerful the frog is and shows that the fly is its pray. Then i made a banner which the frog puts up with its tounge to show that its on coolocks team. The next fly that comes in is purple to show it is on the oposing team it knocks of the banner to show his power. The frog then looks sad and crys this makes it look weak, but then the frog gets angry and this is expresed by the eye brows. To get back at the fly it eat it's and the frog is happy again.

I belive this relates to my house because my team does not give up and is even stronger the next time.

this is one of the slides in my animation that shows the frogs anger and power.

PROBLEMS

i did not have many problems but one was that i thought that i had to save all images before you export but now i realise that you only had to save some as svg. But its not a big deal because it did not take that long to export them all.

my new animation is here http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-TosI9I1t58OTc1NWYzYzUtYThmYS00ZDM3LWFlZTMtMzE4ZjY0MTczMzU3&hl=en

About my animation

to create this animation i used inkscape which is a drawing program i choose this because i have used it before and i find it easy to use.

making a gif

i am up to making my animation as a gif and to do that i have to use gimp. click file, save as, then name it and give it a place to save, click selet type selet gif image, click save. Dont merge layers save as a animation then click export. Make sure you select foreverlooping so that it will still play after it has finished. and then select a time that is sutible for your animation i choose 208 because it is not to fast or slow.

i have completed my animation

i have made 99 slides and i am finish but i am still to learn how to actually move the animation insteed of just clicking to change.

animation Idea

for my animation project i am making a frog. I am using inkscape because i find it easier to use and i like the tool which it has. I have made the frog and saved it as a vector image so i can change it later if i want, before i export it. When i export i should select the whole page, not just the image.My page is 500 by 500. when i save my work i should select the 's' drive.
