How We Did Each Thingy Last week we started something new in photoshop, frame animations. It reminds me a slight bit of stop motion but it is not really pictures at all. Restarted by using the paint brush tool, and made the paint brush style for grass instead of a standard brush. The brush's colors also are varied between a dark and light green. Then we painted it as grass. After, we created a circle that looked like a ball and changed its opacity to about 37 percent and created its path, using option drag. We then created a frame animation and went frame by frame showing only one ball at a time using the eye icon.  We really honestly did that for every animation for this project. What was learned We learned this past week how to create frame animations, something I did not really know how to do. Sometimes it got a bit tricky though because the layers would occasionally pop up in other frames and then I would make those go away and they would all go away. It got fairly tri...

What Happened Last week in class we worked on an animation for the ten words that describe me. What we did was use Adobe Photoshop, which actually surprised me as I had no idea it could be used for that. We first typed out our names and the ten words and organized them. After that, we started actually animating, which was mostly having the word offscreen and then moving a few seconds and moving the word into where it would be at that point, it is a bit hard to explain. What I Learned I learned how Photoshop could be used to animate and create video. That was the most surprising to me. I also learned a different way to animate as I used to only know how to animate through stop motion with Legos. If I could anything differently it would be to have organized the words differently and more creatively. I personally don't think I was creative enough with it. Next time I will still ask questions when I don't understand something. I will also remember what I did here in future p...
