MayJ Splashpage Animation 2018v5.gifTASK
Create an 800x450px flash animation to welcome viewers to your portfolio.
EXPORT the animation as an Animated GIF, store it on your Google Drive, and INSERT it onto your portfolio front page from that shared drive.
PART ONE - Tweening Motion
Create three text objects in three different layers in flash (Use the Principles of Typography for best results!)
THREE RULES of TWEENING
Convert all objects into SYMBOLS
Put each symbol on it's OWN layer
Create flanking keyframes using [F6]
Right Mouseclick to add a CLASSIC TWEEN between the "Bookend" keyframes
Move the STARTING locations of each element to have them glide in from "offstage"
Flash keyboard Cheat Sheet
[F8] Converts an object into a SYMBOL
[F7] Creates a new EMPTY KEYFRAME
[F6] Creates a CLONED KEYFRAME that copies the content from the previous keyframe
[F5] Extends the duration of the current keyframe
[SHIFT] [F5] Reduces the duration of the current keyframe
[SHIFT] [F6] Erases a keyframe without reducing the duration of the movie
PART TWO - Tweening SIZE and SHAPE
Add a LINE element, and have it fade in by tweening it's ALPHA colour properties
Add a CIRCLE element, and have it Zoom in by tweening it's SIZE
Add a PHOTO and have it fade in and out before the title appears ( Do you need to use a MASK so that your photo appears to be a circular object?)
PART THREE - Easing Motion
Adjust the EASING of your text elements
NEXT: Export your work as an ANIMATED GIF
