1. What did you learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I learned how to make basic animations using Adobe Animate. Prior to this project, I was already familiar with Garage Band as well as Adobe Premiere, so Animate was the program that I was really new to and had to learn more about while creating this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. What was easy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I create hip-hop beats on Logic Pro X as a hobby, so it was relatively easy for me to create an instrumental for this project. I also have taken a few classes in high school that taught Adobe Premiere, so I did not have much difficulty using that program either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. What was challenging?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Using Adobe Animate for the first time was definitely difficult. I was not used to the program, and actually had made an entirely different animation with a different emotion before creating the “Inspired” animation. From there, I wanted to use the inside of the dot on the “i” to transition into the next slide. I had to figure out how to to do this, and decided to go about it by creating a png on photoshop of a black background on with a small transparent hole. From there I added it behind the animation on Premiere and keyframed it to have the hole follow the inside of the dot on the animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. How could your submission be improved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were probably some transitions that could have been better utilized, or lack thereof. I didn’t want to use the same transition over and over again for the sake of the project requirements, but had I done so I think the video may have had some more consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be beneficial to add some further aspects to the assignment such as creating some visual on After Effects, or recording audio on GarageBand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This knowledge is very beneficial for general design in both graphics and videos. I have had to use my video knowledge in various assignments over the years and I don’t expect that to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To better navigate Adobe Animate, I visited https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/kcaddlc\/software-tutorials\/adobe-suite\/adobe-animate\/adobe-animate-shortcuts in order to view some of the shortcuts used within the program to streamline workflow. A lot of it was similar to that in Photoshop and Premiere, but there were still several functions that I was not familiar with at the start of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
