animation

Shilya and I teamed up to make an animation in flash. Shilya already had a specific story in mind so we just went with it. Like the video project, we started out by drawing the story boards, which was very helpful in helping us understand how the characters moved and the general flow of the story. Translating story board into flash was easy, though I must say the flash program was kind of hard to use. One mistake I kept making was editing symbols that were already used in other symbols. This would ruin our entire animation! Anyways, Flash took some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it was just following the storyboards to draw out frame and creating movement.

Here's our piece.
