This is honestly one of the best class we ever had. So we had to bring our laptops and drawing tablets so that we are able to learn the basics of Adobe Animate. So as the classes started we've been shown the interface of Adobe Animate so that we are more able to understand our working area. We've been shown a few examples and we were ask to apply the same thing that we've learnt on a work of ours, I did the following:
The first one I did was a ball jumping, which is really basic, to make it more interesting I tried to fill in the spaces in between as in a pose to pose, however I haven't filled all the blank spaces, and it result in a change in the speed of the object. If you can see the different frames used in the video.
This one is a simple straight ahead flames, probably the only interesting thing about it is the colors and how I've manipulated the frames since it was too short, you can see that I've tried to make each frame of the same length and that I've duplicate a cycle of the flames to make it more....exposed somehow.
This one is a simple square moving but it's made from the classic tween function which gives it a much cleaner motion.
This one, I tried to be funny, more expressive and drew a sort of bat resembling Dracula flying around, this one was made from the symbol function.
This one is also from the symbol function but I've used the motion tween function to make it move. I've tried to manipulate it's path as much as I can just to get the hang of it.
As you may have noticed, all my work was screen recorded instead of being exported, it's because of an issue that I've encountered with the software, which I honestly don't understand why myself.
Furthermore, I've tried other animation software and comparing them, I would conclude that ToonBoom Harmony 17 is more userfriendly in terms of it's facilities and it was easier to export even a short animation with the other softwares. The interface is really easy and it's easier to edit the frames.
This one is a simple straight ahead animation representing the birth of a star in space. I had issues adjusting it's frame and frame rate, but I left it as it is just to be able to see my progress as I'm learning.
This one is really simple but I've actually learnt how to manipulate the frames and I could make it's exposure last longer compare to the first one that I did which you can barely see what's going on.
This feature is a quite interesting one since it's like making a skeleton over whatever drawing you have and make it move part by part, this drawing is composed of 3 part and each have been moved one after the other on the frames and it results into this, where all the 3 parts are moving all together simultaneously.
There is one issue that I've encountered with this one though, as you may notice the outline of the arms is moving as well, going under the colors and back above the colors.
