Hello and happy Friday! Today we are going to continue building on our skills by learning how to better manage layers in our animations, and make simple scenes that can ultimately be strung together to make more complex animated movies. For this lesson we will continue with our use of keyframes and motion guides and will add 2 new key concepts.
- We will develop a better understanding of how we work with a more complex graphic by adding multiple layers and drawing only one thing on each layer. Not only will this make it easier to edit our animation, it also ensures each moving part will function well.
- We will also learn how to work with keyframes along a motion guide to control our object. A part of this, we will also learn how to work within a keyframe. Something that will give you better control over objects you convert to symbols and will also allows you to make your objects a bit more complex.
For today's assignment you will be required to use a minimum of 4 layers to create a background image, a plane flying from one side of your screen to the other while doing a flip in the air as it follows a motion guide. Your background should be detailed. Use this as an opportunity to develop new skills using a variety of drawing tools. Remember, the more creativity, the better.
For a video tutorial of how to complete today's lesson please visit: https://youtu.be/98yO_QdkC7k. Remember to be very good about labeling each of your layers and always drawing on the appropriate layer. Also, when the time comes, remember to make sure you have the free transform tool to rotate your plane as it flies up into the sky. Insert a keyframe at the desired spot and then rotate, insert a keyframe at the desired spot and then rotate - continue this until you reach the end of the motion guide :)
Most importantly, sit back, relax and have some fun!
