Sixth and Final Date

VICTORY! I have finally beaten this seeming unbeatable assignment! I have found this assignment quite difficult - not difficult in the sense that i found the actual animating hard, but difficult in the sense that it was hard to commit to an assignment that i had no interest in. I do not like digital animating, the only kind i like is stop motion.  Hopefully this will be the last animation assignment for a long time as after counting and looking back on previous assignments, he have done twice as many animation projects than digital art or design when our class of fifteen outnumbers the animators in the group 4-1!

The editing process when i added sound

Anyway - enough complaining, i am very happy to finally be rid of this assignment. I would say it has been fun, but it hasn't. It has however made me much more comfortable with using flash and i now have a grasp on editing (thanks again to George Roberts for showing me the ropes and letting me use his software). It is always nice to see your drawings come to life and my animation makes me smile for this reason. Above is a screen shot of the editing process and below is my finished animation, sound effects are from Sounddogs.com and all images are my own. Enjoy!

 Goodbye 'The Message', I'm not going to miss you.
