Flash Animation Face and Stick Figure

While using Adobe Flash I created two animations. One of my animations was a stick figure doing jumping jacks. The other was a face making many different expressions. It was fun to use flash to make the animation and the stick figure. Pivot animations were easier to use stick figures, but I think flash is better if you want to make your own character or face and move it anyway you want. Adobe Flash is a lot more advanced and harder then pivot.

Moving Objects in Flash

Moving objects in flash is very different then moving objects in pivot. In pivot you have to move every body part towards the spot you want to go to in order to get there. In flash you can create a line that the objects on the layers follow. Flash seems to be a lot easier when dealing with multiple objects and pivot seems easier when trying to make an animation on people and animals performing activities.

Flash Tools

Flash is a very useful tool to create and edit images. I created a few of my own images and changed around the shape of the image. I created a face from an oval and other shapes. Then I rotated the face and made it smaller. Using flash was useful and fun.

Windows Movie Maker

I added other effects and parts to my pivot animation using Windows Movie Maker. There is now music during the free-running. I also made a title and credits. I used a different song for my credits. While sing Windows Movie Maker I found out how to add video transitions. My final pivot animation includes two songs, a title, and credits.
