Adobe professional is to create presentations, applications and loads of different other content that responds to the user basically.
Projects with flash animation are things such as simple animations,videos,complex user interfaces,applications once again.
SWF stands for shockwave flash
The reason why projects use flash is because vector graphics take up less memory and storage space.
Vector graphics in flash are created with the use of geometric primitives so in this case you would use anchor points, and many different lines and many different shapes.
A symbol in flash is basically either a movie clip and sometimes can include art work, once you have made a symbol it will appear in the library and can reuse the symbol over and over again.
One main part to flash is the stage like the canvas that defines the visible area during playback; you arrange  graphics, videos, buttons, and other elements on the Stage while authoring projects.the secound main part of flash is the timeline which controls the timing that specifies elements in the movie which once again appers in stages which goes back to the first stage. Onther main part of flash is tools panel which creates a select number of objects and shapes,propeties displays contextual info about many different shapes and stuff. The library for flash contains loads of elements and symbols that get stored from the last project.
An action script allows you to add elements to your doceument so you can also add in buttons to display images and many other objects.
When you have finished authoring your FLA file, you publish it by selecting File > Publish (or pressing Shift+F12). The publish operation generates a compressed version of your file with the extension .swf (known as a SWF file). Adobe Flash Player is used to play the SWF file in a web browser or as a stand-alone application.

First Animation


Review

This is my first animation which I got four people to help me out with this animation,with this in hand I had to do a review of this animation. This animation was my first and was a type of animation which is called (stop picture animation). In this animation I used my self and another person that was helping me, so with this we are running in on time to lesson.Then after we get half way down the pathway another person runs down and knocks us down to the floor.

Animation Research


This advert was really cool when I watched it so I thought I would us this as my h/w. This animation with the socks are very life like in away so to me the animation ticks all the boxes for me, like the way it moves and stuff. The ideas with this such as the drink with the sock in it with the straw is very well done.


this was my second animation that I thought really inspired me as it was all about a slogan though out the whole animation which was smaller,smarter and better.The way it is is done is more unique than everything which is basically a cut out of a stick fique man and it moves along the pages to get to the Ipod nano which is what all this annimation was all about.



This is a really cool animation it is all about the start of all the production of this farmer then it goes onto it going into factories and stuff then at the end the farm gives over a pig to his son so it can start off again but right this time.

In my opinion my favourite one is the last one as it is done in a very nice way and has a great story and a great idea behind it. With this in mind this does not inspire me but I have loads of different ideas for my final animation

Animation project Mind map

Breif

Coulsdon college six form has asked a few local animators that would pitch for a brand new web based ad to help the college look better.It can be done by photo based animation or a hand made collage or a flash anima.
The target audience is for audience's aged 15/16 years of age.In this I will need to consider unique selling points to help this advert show the college in the right way.
At the end of the artwork I will have to present my samples and my work to the board of directors at the end.And it will be filmed!
