Midterm-Tim Burgess

http://sws.pcc.edu/student/CAS175_pdeangel_16807/timburgess12/Midterm/midterm_timburgess.swfYowza - ok, lets see. I'm unable to put my animation up at the present time, so just use your imagination! It will hopefully be here today. I always wanted to see a kitty in space, so for my midterm I decided to show a bit of her adventures (her name is Serenity). This proved to be a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, mostly because of my overreaching. Altogether this took 8 folders, combining 37 layers, and one conundrum, in that I created 7 folders, one for each scene, but I created one more separate from the rest for the end of the piece, and still can't figure out how to make it appear on the same timeline as the others, though I got it all to flow fine in the movie. Anyway...scene 1- hallway- a motion and classic tween, plus one nested tween (the twitching ear!) ,included way after I completed this piece, and I wish I had understood nested tweens earlier in the process, as alot of these may have looked a bit different. All of the symbols I created were new, except for the kitty herself, which I modified twice, redoing the ears for the nested tween. -Scene 2, a motion and a classic tween- scene 3, a couple of classic tweens to go with the motion guide which seems to me, at this point at least, to be a major pain in the ass. Scene 4 (hyperspace), I used 2 motion tweens, and the zoom out in 2D motion preset and no modifications necessary, as it turned out great. Scene 5 includes 2 classic tweens and a frame by frame animation ( the map marker). Scene 6 has a couple of motion tweens and a bunch of motion editor tweeking to the color, rotation, easing, etc. -most of which I'm happy with , but I should have made the background space darker, it's sorta washed out- also, the pen tool was used for some planet work, but not to great effect on this one. Scene 7 has my shape tween which turned out pretty good! Scene 8 is the crazy one that is actually scene 2 and all the rest of these are actually scene 1. It has a shape and classic tween, and is notable for its contemplation of infinity, as well as its flash properties. And that's about it!
