Assignment 5 - Animating Symbols

• Read and do Chapter 3 of classroom in a book
  
  
  • Asset files
  • Hand in the Double Identity movie ad as a .mp4 file (H264)

---

• Watch the following videos:
  • Review symbols in Animate
    
  • Animating symbols - flying bird.psd
    
    
  • Animating symbols 2
    
  • Easing in Animate - Banner ad
    
    
    
• After watching the videos try these exercises
  • flying bird- animate the bird flying across the stage (flapping wings are nested symbols)
  • Try animating the wagon across the page with two wheels rotating at the same speed using symbols

• Now try:
  • Parallax effect - Use nested movie clips to create the parallax effect (Google it). Good use of the 3d tool. This needs to be done in ActionScript 3

---

• Walking woman - use nested movie clips for walking arms, legs and head movement. Have her walk across the stage. (Caution...to make this realistic you'll have to do more than have two keyframes on the root timeline)
  • Good video template

    Part 1
    
    part 2
