Animation - GoAnimate

This particular homework assignment was for me to create a video using the website www.goanimate.com.  I did, and it's about putting information online.

 

I had a really good time making it.  I hope you enjoy!

Oh yes.  I forgot that I need Learning Outcomes/Comments or whatever.  So here it is.

 

Learning Comments: While I was doing this project, I learned a couple new things about creating videos by way of animation.  The main one was that there are pretty much a googolplex* of seperate combinations to work with.  The user can choose from far too many facial expressions, then put it on one of far too many actions.  Of course, there is then movement, such as where a character will jump/fly/walk/run/dance from and to.  And, obviously, when one character does something, the others must react, such as in a fight scene when all attacks and reactions must be perfectly in sync.  And don't even get me started on all of the inanimate props you can use.  You get the idea.  However, I eventually figured out how to create the videos in less time, (my first video took two hours; sad, right?) and I can now complete a video in around an hour.  Yay!

 

 

*A googol is 10100, or 10,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000.  A googolplex is 10googol.  This is a shameless exaggeration.
