Classic Motion Tween Animation Directions

This lesson will introduce you to another type of animation technique in Flash called Classic Tween. Make sure to always use symbols and keep only have one animation per layers. This technique is great for moving in a straight line, resizing and rotating.

In the first activity you will create the basic ball bounce. In the second activity you will create a movie that replicated a game of pong.

When you finish each file, save it and put it all in a folder to turn in named:

12 Animation Principles (pdf)

Step 2:  Complete Lesson 1 and 2 below by watching the INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS!  I am trying to see if watching a video for instruction may be a good way for you to learn.  The video is produced by another teacher in Washington state.  He is a very good instructor.

Basic Animation Techniques

Adobe Flash uses four primary animation techniques: Frame-by-frame, Classic Motion Tween, Motion Tween (new), and Shape Tween.

Frame by Frame Animation Directions
This lesson will introduce you to a type of frame-by-frame animation. In the first project you will learn how to change the stage dimensions, onion skinning and the animation technique of squash and stretch. In the second lesson you will learn how to create a cycle in the form of symbol.

Keyboard Shortcuts:
·         F5 Insert Frame
·         F6 Insert Keyframe

Animation Principles
Squash and Stretch
Timing and Spacing
Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose - Frame by Frame is the same thing as Pose to Pose. Classic, Motion and Shape tweens are examples of Straight Ahead Action.

Tutorial Videos
Lesson 1: Frame-by-frame Ball Bounce (7:47) *Example
Lesson 2: Frame-by-frame Flame (5:29) *Example

TEACHER NOTES:  In  the video he says to hit "Control + Return" to watch the Flash file play...our systems have an error that prevents ours from working that way.  You must publish your SWF file and HTML file to go watch it on your computer.

Also, disregard what he says at the end about turning in your file.  You will put both flash files in a folder with the correct name and turn in the folder to Mr. Komar Dropbox like usual.

Exercise 16 - Begin Animation / Intro to Adobe Flash

Today we begin to learn how to use Adobe Flash.  There will be an introductory video.  

You are going to be making a photo album.  You may use the images from the tutorial, photos I took from Maine or your own images you download from the internet.

Use the Flash Classroom in a Book which can be found on your Mr. Komar Shared folder (Flash Lessons).  We will start with lesson 1 in the book which will be Exercise 15 for our class.  

We will NOT be using the whole book so do not worry.  Just to get started....


 
Today I will present the following concepts:

1. The Stage
2. Frame vs. Keyframe
3. Hidden Tools

When you are finished, submit the Flash file to the Dropbox.

We will try to do the music video again.  You may redo the song you chose before or you may choose a new song.  

You are encouraged to choose a song that is not just another POP music song from the last few weeks.  Something that has been around a while.

You are also encouraged to include some video effects in your video.  Slow motion, fast motion, different filters (adjustment panel).
