On monday we had a workshop on basic Flash photography. We started out with a ball and a line and dragged layer 1 up to 30 (this was the line) and on layer 2 (the ball) this would make the line always remain there throughout the animation and allow the ball to 'bounce'. We created key frames about 11 spaces per key frame and moved the ball where we wanted it to be. We then added a 'motion tween' next to it which made the ball move. for example we could put the ball up then down and then up again using 3 motion tweens so it would appear like it was bouncing.
The next thing we did was chose a portrait image that we found or of ourselves that we wanted to animate and we outlined it using flash. We then coloured it too to make a full cartoon image. We then created one motion tween where we moved or changed something so that when it would play it would return to the original state before the tween which was a simple animation for example in my animation in the motion tween i added i moved the whole eyebrow upwards so when it played fully the eyebrow would be normal then go up (motion tween) then down again. I think this workshop was very useful for going futher in this project with animation and I think it would be a fun concept to perhaps have some kind of story book or virtual story book featuring the story surrounding the peoples chosen object and a cartoon version of themselves.

Tuesdays lesson:
where we did our first workshop and learnt how to involve our personal objects into animations. Starting with groups of three and twos where we covered paper on each table and we set up the camera pointing downwards seeing a birds eye view of the objects. We drew a line around the object and positioned those objects differently. To symbolize its history in travel and personal stories. When doing that we drew onto the papers copying the object we brought and writing its signification. Its story and how we got it and what the atmosphere was like when receiving it . Writing all this information on to the sheet sharing it with the group. Then moving on to the lesson with another partner where we would both tell a story of our object and how we got it. While one person tells that story the other draws onto that paper as the story goes along.
We also took photos of ourselves in those objects. With the next part of that lesson we took an object that Harry brought and with a partner made up a story behind that object. Like the previous project we did the same thing telling the story and the other would draw it out but be blind folded and see the surprise at the end of how it all looks like. As a first workshop i think it came out well, helping to know stories behind other peoples object and learning how imaginations work like for others.
