Keyholes and Tweening

KEYHOLES:

This is an example of how to use the key holes to move an object. To use do this, I picked a pre drawn animation which lasted for three frames, but you can do it with any drawing, mine was a spaceship with simple movements. I just repeatedly pasted this animation so it went over thirty frames. I then added a key hole, to the first frame and the thirtieth frame. On the left hand side of he screen, is the 'tools'. You can use this to move the certain frames and the other frames are automatically adjusted t match it. It is an easy and effective way to move objects using animationish.

Key frames is a much faster and more effective way to move objects around. In stead of having to change a little bit on thirty slides, just duplicate 30 times, and two key holes and move the last image wher you want it to end up.

TWEENING:
Tweening is the name given to the slides in between the keyholes. It gives the illusion that thre object is moving along smoothly. It is more effective, for me at least, as I am not a very good drawer and it gives a much better finished effect.

What is a StoryBoard?
Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence, including website interactivity.
My StoryBoard
My storyboard will give me a step by step idea of what is going to happen. If I were to give my story board to a random person and asked them to turn it into an animation, and I did it as well, we would come out with a very similar product with only a few differences due to our different interpritations. My storyboard will make it much easier for me when I start to create my animation.

This is my first creative media blog. Today I learnt about how to use the keyhole functions and move things across the screen. Over the next few days, I want to finalize my ideas and get started on the assignment. I am looking forward to this because I have never done any form of animation before.
