Animated Key Frame Frog Project

I am finished with my frog animation and will update the animation soon. I ran out of time in class today. 

1. I used Adobe Flash CS6 Action Script 3.0.

2. I chose Action Script 3.0 because it was the action script that Mr. Briano taught us how to use at the beginning of the year

3. In order to trace the frog, I imported the picture from the website, and then centered it onto the platform. Then I zoomed in, 400%, to the first frog, clicked on my paint tool and began moving my cursor over the line, therefore, tracing the frog. 

example: 

4. Richard Williams was the animator who worked on an assortment of animation project and films like The Pink Panther, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He was also the man who published the renowned The Animator's Survival Kit, which is popular, even now, as an Ipad app.

5. I researched him by searching him on the search engine google, and clicking on an assortment of websites that give detailed explanations to his past lives, from quotes, experiences, and first-hand stories.

6. My stage was 550 by 400 when I opened the software.\

7. I used Adobe Flash CS6 because it is the only software I am more than familiar with, as I was taught some of the basics at the beginning of the school year.

8. I used only two layers. One for the background, and one for the frog.

9. I chose my background because it made the frog stand out more.

10.  We created a frog because a frog is easier to draw and it models many of the 12 principles of animation, in the simplest way. Also, it was the tutorial that my teacher introduced to me.

11. I exported the file by converting the animation to an animated gif. To do this, you have to click on the file button, go down to export, click export video, and press, save as animated gif.

12. I created a total of 7 frames.
