Finished animation in Flash

Take out :
-falling part (distract)
-dinosaur (not necessary, add if have time)

Timing of each cut : weird
-Snowing cut can be longer

-----------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion of former discuss:
At last if have time, revise the Zombie one first
The end of each vignettes >> make them same

-----------------------------------------------------------
Problems met:
a more complicated process, and it's hard to edit if already exported because it has too many images.
-file named
-making process
-layers separate

*when export into image sequence, PS can't choose "PNG, JPEG"(it's always grey), only TIFF and PSD
>>file too large

Solution:
-Don't export as image frame
-Import PSD file as composition to AE


-----------------------------------------------------------
For this week:
1. Finish all the animation in Flash
2. Rename file

Naming rules:

Animation in FL / finished background

For testing cut earth 02~03

-make lady in the environment
have movement every time
-the direction of the movement
too stick
-overlap every motion
don't come out one by one
-sand lady slower
+sand smoke longer

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Testing new process

Testing result

-Will add shadow on the sand
-export into separate layers >> blur and other effects (ground shaking)
-to draw movement and edit timeline is better than in PS

Problem:
After I had done in Photoshop, I imported back to Flash, since I only exported the keyframe.
But....since I made the image a bit larger in PS, when I want to put the image back on stage, it has to be scaled by myself. Here comes the problem, I can't make each image in the same spot and same size.....

Solution 1: copy the key frame and named them, fill up all the frame.
=> tried it, very time consuming, and if I want to edit some image, will be very annoying.

Solution 2: pull the timeline in PS, to make the key frame more frame. Then export it.
=>Better, will use this one. If all the line/animation in the cut is done, then do the PS coloring work will be more efficiently

Broad idea of presentation

Presentations

During the spring semester, each student also delivers a Research Presentations. Students prepare a 20-minute critical presentations on the topic of "Contemporary Animation Outside the Mainstream." Prior to the presentation, students discuss their research findings with the instructor, submit their final topic idea, an abstract and outline for the presentation. Presentations will be graded on soundness and depth of research, and overall quality and clarity.

Start animate

Some suggestion for the animatic:

For the EARTH
-when meteorite hits, don't explode >>> shake
For the HUMAN
-when primitive past by, silhouette, character in a simple way, don't put too much detail
-the last bomb (keep or remove to make it same as others)

-the waiting >>> add some in the middle
----------------------------------------------------------------------
