Getting Started with Flip Boom Doodle
You will be using a fun and easy animation program called FlipBoom Doodle. Look on the dock for the icon for the application, it looks like this:
If it is not on the dock, then look in the Applications Folder, the apps will be alphabetical, find the Cat Icon and drag it to your dock. Double Click on the icon and start a "new" project. Check out the demo projects and the HELP menu tutorial. Play with the program a bit to get familiar, then try the skills in the tutorial below.
Skills Part I (scroll down for Skills Part II)
Now that you have had some time to play around with the program, here are your first set of FOUR challenges. Be sure to watch the video tutorials and "follow along" trying each skill as it is presented, that way you can pause, rewind the video as needed.
CREATE A SEPARATE FLIP BOOM FILE/PROJECT FOR EACH CHALLENGE... don't just smash it all in one file:
1. Draw/color the Sun and Cloud - Draw a Sun, Cloud and rolling hills.
Have the Cloud move slowly across the sky IN FRONT of the Sun
**Hint: For a Blue Sky, do not draw, use one of the backgrounds in the Library**
2. The Bouncing Ball - create a bouncing ball as shown (the video goes quick so rewind). Note how the shape of the ball changes a bit as it hits the ground to make it look more realistic. You can color your ball.
3. The Library:
a. Create your own library and add some items you have colored or drawn from scratch
b. Use your items and things from the Library in some creative scene; "Draw Behind Them" (see video)- for example some hills in the distance, things flying in the air, people moving etc...
4. Moving Car: Watch the brief video and have a create a car chase street scene...
Skills Part II
Now that you have some experience with animation and using FlipBoom Doodle, you will attempt Skills Part2 below that includes 5 examples.
Watch each short movie clip to see the skill, then see if you can figure out how it is done by experimenting in FlipBoomDoodle. Recreate the skill in your own FlipBoom Doodle.
Your FlipBoom file will have the FIVE examples below when completed.
Note: If you get stuck, the actual FlipBoom Doodle files at this link so you can download the Flip File and see how it was done. FlipBoomDoodleStuff
