-My Animation-

Problems Encountered While Creatign my Animation

There weren't many problems that I encountered due to the fact that my animation  was very simple. One of the main problems that I encountered though was that Inkscape kept freezing up. I had lost some of my work and had to restart it. This helped me to remember that i should ALWAYS! save my work.
Another problem that I encountered was that i kept getting distracted by people around me. This cause me to take more time to finish the animation.

What image format were you saving your work in during development of the frames?

The format that I was using to save my images were PNG. this made it easier to view them when i was editing the different steps through out my animation.

Describe the creation process you used

At first i wanted to do a animation that had a penguin. After researching this i found out that it was to complicated to do so I changed my idea. My idea was then do to a pacman that went around eating and then eventually out of its mouth came to words "GO CLARE". It took roughly three lesson to complete. At first I only got to import very few frames, but eventually i got quicker. The finished animation is made up of 204 slides. Originally it went for 17 minutes with a frame rate of 5seconds. After i changed it went for 16 seconds with a frame rate of 0.05 second and 5seconds for a introduction.

    

Describe what software you used and why you choose it

The software that I used was Inkscape. I used this program because it was easy to navigate through when I knew how to use the program. It is also easier to get the image do what you want to do. After deciding on what I wanted my animation to be based on it was very easy to get the program to do that task.

-Moving animation-

Last lesson I exported another 100 frames. My animation was starting to come together.
I only had the last few frames to export

In todays lesson i finshed my pacman. I exported all the remaning slides that I had to. I put the frames into movie maker, initally my animation wnet for 17 mintues with a frame rate of 5seconds per frame. I changed frame rate to 0.07 seconds per frame and now my animation goers for 14seconds. in my aniamtion there are 205 frames (:
