During this part of the project I made my actual flash animation and with all of my previous knowledge behind me I found it quite easy. Also after we had finished our animation we wrote a reflection about what we had learned and what we thought was important to the animation.

I was an academic achiever who demonstrated technological literacy and the use of technology as a tool for the efficient and creative completion of a project, I did this by using my prior knowledge of flash animations to make my own and also I posted my finished project on this portfolio for people to see.

This is my reflection for this part of the project.

I met all criteria from the class list except one, themes, I think that the reason I didn’t meet this criteria was because I made up one of the words so no one else but Catrina knew what it meant. I also met some of the extended criteria such as Background and Advanced themes.

I met the criteria by looking at the class list of criteria and making sure I had done everything that was on there. If I was unsure of anything I had to do I would talk to Catrina about it, and ask her if I was doing it right. I also thought of what I wanted to do and used as many of the tweens we had to use to do it.

Yes, I am very happy with my final product. I made it and I am not very good with technology so I guess that makes me happier. Besides I never knew that it could look so professional, sometimes I wonder if I even made it.

The e-card was difficult at first because I was not used to everything that I had to use, but towards the end it got so much easier and I wasn’t asking Catrina how to “create motion tween” or anything like that. I felt more comfortable with the technology towards the end.

At first I didn’t really enjoy making this e-card because I am not very good with technology, but thanks to Catrina who taught me the way to do things it got easier as time went by and I began to enjoy it so much more. So really I guess I enjoyed it more than I didn’t like it.

I learned so much during this project, such as how to use the basics of flash and also how to use all of the tweens that we needed to use. I enjoyed the shape tween the most; it has such an amazing effect. But next time I hope to be able to use the color tween more because I like its effect. Another useful thing that I learned was how important layers were. I messed up so bad at first because I didn’t put things on different layers but once I figured it out it was so much easier for me.

I feel like I need to be able to use all of the tweens more as I only used some once. I also think that I need to be able to draw more advanced looking objects, because that makes the animation look even more advanced.

Now that I have completed this project I hope to be able to make another flash animation one day soon. I am very comfortable with the technology now and hope to get even more comfortable with it in the future.
