Final 1 (animated text)




For this exercise and the rest of the final 1 exercises I used Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. I first clicked on the text tool to write my name. I chose the font and different colors for the letters. Then I centralized the text and lowered it more toward the center. Right after, I clicked in "break apart". I then went to "separate in layers".I marked keyframes from 10 to 10 (10, 20, 30, etc.)every time I acted over a letter. After marking keyframe I moved the letter at stake. The movement of each letter was subtle and upward, each letter reaching higher, up to the middle letter and from that point on each letter reaching lower than the former. I then added a blank layer (I did a transparent circle and then cut it) so that the last letter "a" would also disappear at the end of this mini movie. Right after,like I did with the other three final 1 exercises, I did the following. I saved it in BCMyfiles in .fla form. I then clicked in "export movie" and exported it to BCMyfiles as an .avi file. The next step was to right click the .avi document in BCMyfiles and save it to my computer's desktop. I then saved it under downloads within "All files". From there I uploaded it to the blog.
