Photoshop Animation Tutorials

Link: Tutorial 1
This tutorial was a quick and easy video that showcased the basics of frame by frame animation. He discussed frames, layers, and drawings. While the video was short and sweet, it demonstrated how simple this tool can be in photoshop. Being able to see your previous drawing is very beneficial in spacing out your objects to make the animation flow nicely. Frame by frame animation will definitely be useful in creating basic and short animations such as GIFs.

This tutorial gave more of a step-by-step tutorial on how to animate in photoshop. This video talked through how to duplicate and create new frames. It is very interesting to see all the frames come together in the end after putting in the work to rotate and move your drawings. The process seems to be straight forward and easy to follow, which makes me excited to use these tools. A good tip a heard in the video is to make sure to name layers to help with any confusion down the road with your animation.

This tutorial showed me how to import videos in photoshop and how to animate drawings and text. He talked about setting a frame rate and how to adjust that to best fit your project. Importing a video to animate was super cool as it could be a neat way to add a fun element to your animation. I found this tutorial to be very useful in how to make adjustments and shortcuts throughout animating a drawing. Honestly, the hardest part I think its going to be drawing with my mouse and getting my drawings to look how I want them too, but am ready to create a GIF!

  Internet & World Wide Web The internet has become a crucial part of peoples' everyday lives. The internet is a global network that connects computers and other devices all over the world. This allows for access to almost any information and the ability to communicate with people globally who also have internet connection. This all started in 1973 with computer scientists, Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn. This creation was made to allow computers to communicate through the APRAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency). Today, the internet is used for e-mail, social media, managing finances, shopping, and much more. On the other hand, the World Wide Web is an information retrieval service of the internet. The creation of the World Wide Web began in 1989 by Tim Berners-lee. The purpose of this creation was to allow for the sharing of information between scientists around the world.

Blog #18 - Portfolio

  Artist Statement This semester I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign. I have been able to learn about many tools and tricks that these platforms offer. Throughout my time in FMX 210 I have taken my knowledge and created several projects. For my final project this semester I have created a portfolio that showcases all the projects I have completed in this course. To create this portfolio, I used InDesign and brought my idea to life. From choosing a color palette, to selecting fonts, I am very pleased with my final project. I am so excited to take what I have learned in this course and apply it in the future. With that being said, enjoy my FMX 210 Final Portfolio!

Blog #14 - Animation

  Artist Statement This week I learned how to create a frame-by-frame animation in Adobe Photoshop. This process started with drawing out my storyboard and deciding where I wanted my story to go. After relaxing on the beach for spring break, I was inspired by the wildlife and knew I wanted to have an animation about crabs. From there I experimented with my frames and layers, rearranged some elements of my story, and made my idea come to life. During this process I was able to combine many different elements such as images, text, shapes, shadows, and even include my personal logo into my animation. Many frames, layers, and editing later I have created my first animation! Finally getting to my final product was so fulfilling to see and I am happy to share, "Beachside Gems of Love", to my blog!  Initial Storyboard
