My Work - Final Flash Animation (Pt 2, Stg 4)

Here is my final flash animation entitled "My Work". It includes vector images I created as well as my photography (most of which has been edited in Photoshop and/or Lightroom). The video begins with my name and logo and then continues on to show some of my photography. Originally I had some wording after the photography, but I decided to add in some extra photography as a background for each text. The video concludes with my logo, the words "book now", and my email address. It was a triumphant feeling when everything came together and I mastered using frames and motion tweens. I am happy with the final outcome. I had never used Adobe Animate before so I definitely learned a lot doing this project.

Flash Animation (Part 2, Stage 3)

Using Adobe Animate (formally Flash Professional) was the biggest learning experience yet. I definitely found this program to be the hardest to learn out of all the programs that I learned during this course. It was a lot of trial and error after watching the videos. When I finally got things to work how I wanted to them and figured out how to do things the right way my work flowed wonderfully. I made use of the things I learned in the Lynda.com tutorials.

My animation is for my photography website. It is a trailer or preview of my photography work. All text and images are my own, created by me. My images have been edited in Adobe Photoshop and/or Lightroom. My logo was created using Adobe Illustrator. I imported all the images into Animate before I began creating layers. Once I was finished I converted my swf file to an avi file to upload to my blog.

Flash Animation (PT 1, Stage 2)

This is my first time using Adobe Animate (Flash) so I am still learning a lot. It has taken me a lot of practice to get each step so far. I have created an outline of frames so far (I will add more picture layers as well as wording). The animation will begin with an anchor vector image, followed by my logo (shown in the first picture below). After that it will showcase a few of my images (seen below; I will be adding more still). Before the images begin I am going to add text that says "Heather K Cook Photographer" and have the text animated. Everything I have tried with animating the text so far has either not worked out right or I just didn't like so I am going to go back and do that part after I am done adding in all my photographs. It is very much a work in progress.
