The Facial Expressions of the Sun
This Flash movie has been completed as an assignment ("the Mouth Action") in the Animation 218 (Fundamentals of Animation) taught in the Spring 2014 semester at East Los Angeles College by Professor Michael Libonati. The purpose of this assignment is to study different shapes of the mouth related to the creation of vowel sounds (a, o, I, e, u, etc.). It is the first Flash movie that I have completed using the Pencil tool in current version of the software.
In this Flash movie, the image of the main character, the Sun, has been created using the traditional frame-by-frame animation technique, with Pencil, Paint Bucket, Transform and Selection tools. Parts of the Sun have been created in different Layers of the Timeline panel and animated with traditional frame-by-frame technique,
the most appropriate technique to animate parts of and image with constantly
changing shapes; all relevant frames in their Layers have then been selected and converted into an animated Graphic Symbol, which can be inserted into a new Layer and globally edited with the Transform and other tools and settings. The background images (sky, cloud and mountain range) have been created with the same tools and technique. The image of the trees at the lower-right corner has been created with the Deco Tool.
For any questions, please send me an email ([email protected]).
