Week 6
Mr. Shamsul gave us a tutorial on how to code using wizard in Adobe Animate. We continued animating using last week's progress. We added a stop and play code to the "ENTER" button.

EXERCISE

After the first exercise, we were tasked to create a idle animation for our own avatars. I decided to animate my avatar to look like its breathing, move the pupils, and flap the wings.

The first step that I did was to convert each layer into a symbol. After converting, I added new keyframes in frame 20 and 40. On each of the layers that I intend to animate, I moved them in frame 20 according to my visuals. For the pupils, I just moved it to the side. The wings and breathing animation were moved by using the free transform tool and pivoting the points. Once the animation movements were set, I added classic tween in all of the layers I wanted to animate and included the ease out/ease in effect. Due to some technicalities, I did delete some layers and added different layers to make the animating process more organized.

This is the final result:

REFLECTION

After completing this exercise, I have learned new tools and how to use them in Adobe Animate. This exercise was new and a bit difficult since I am still a new user in this software. It was fun and interesting, since I need to be able to work through this exercise with the skills that I have. But, I think that the results turned out as per my expectations. Throughout the process of creating this exercise, I have seen a few of my peers work. From what I have seen, they were creative and very smooth. There is a clear difference in skills and direction. However, through this exercise I have learned a lot of new skills in the software and taught myself to be a little bit more patient in solving a problem when completing the exercise.
