Door and Fish Animations

Door animation


To do this work I first uploaded the file from the Unit 10 folder, next I created a timeline by going to windows. Then I converted both objects to smart objects. After I click on the option to set the opacity for the doors, this is just basically a process of opposites which I'll explain later, but there is one main rule, make sure you have a door to show at the beginning, in other words set the closed door to 100% because that is it's first position. Then just make the last setting the opposite, so closed door 0% and the open door at 100%, and do the same for the rest until you get to 5 seconds.

Then to colour the background, and the floor and shadow of the door  I selected the paint brush tool, and painted the where I wanted the colour to by, to chose the colour I changed the foreground colour, which you will find by the two squares.
Fish animation


This was my favourite, because interesting than animating a boring object, such as a door. To do this I opened the file, then name the layers, convert each layer to a smart object, then set the frame rate to 12, highlight the stopwatch features. Set opacity to 0% for the big fish with open mouth, and 0% the same fish but wide, all these you will find on the layers, now your left with the closed mouth fish and little fish , then move the time indicator to 2.00 seconds, next move big fish with closed mouth close to little fish.

Fat Man Falling

Fat Man Falling

This was for the second part of the lesson. A animation/ rotoscope showing a fat man falling into a pool of water , where I had to animate the slow motion of him dramatically falling, and the tidal wave that he creates with his hilarious weight backwards flop.

Above you see the result of two animations I did last week, and today it is a frame by frame drawing of a rain drop, and the other is a walk cycle.
