Simple Animation

              In this unit in Media Basics we were assigned to each to a both Simple and Complex Animation. We used photoshop to create this animation, or mini movie. My idea was to do something related to water slides and rivers because I thought they would be interesting. So my complex one turned out to be a person riding a slide and falling out and hurting himself, so people call an ambulance and he is picked up. For my simple animation I decided to do something related to birds, so I did some birds migrating. I thought that was too simple so I decided to show that the birds faded away, as the night and the stars did as well so that when the birds were gone the daylight and sun appeared. I also added a person filming this on a camera. I did the animation by adding different slides together and also by drawing creating and exploring things on photoshop.

           As we went through class I learned many things about how to do things on photoshop and how to be creative and explore. When I first got to media basics I had no idea how to do anything on photoshop now I know how to navigate it and explore it. I think I did my work pretty nicely and that I followed instructions correctly and that I managed to make a nice little animation to show. I would give myself a 5 out of 7. At first I was having trouble finding out what to do and how to do it. Then  people gave me feedback and gave advice and I started having an idea of how to make it really good so I worked hard and made a pretty nice animation. One goal that I have next quarter is to always try really hard and to always give out everything you got on your work. Also to have my own pictures to bring into class.
