Homework 2 - Week 2
- Assignment
Think about a simple animation that you would like to create, e.g. something that could evolve into a comic strip, a splash page, a moving logo, an explanatory animation, etc. Then create a Flash file that includes:
- At least on motion tween (animation)
- Some sort of background
- Submission date and format
- To be returned by Monday, at start of week 3 lesson
- Use the following Flash file name familyname-firstname.fla, e.g.
- miller-joe.fla
- ... I must be able to distinguish these files and we want to avoid overwriting.
Upload the file to the blackboard system.
- Other constraints
- Reuse of objects: 1/3 must be drawn by yourself, max. 1/3 imported but customized, max. 1/3 imported as is. (So you also can do everything by yourself).
- The motion animation must be made by yourself.
- You must fill in a document description using a template (see below)
- Note: A motion tween that includes frame-by-frame changes (i.e. several tweens in a row) does count as both frame-by-frame and motion animation).
- Homework projects are individual. If you work with others, make sure that the individual projects differ, i.e. the "reuse of objects" criteria above apply.
- Evaluation criteria - bonus and malus points
See grading form
- The document description
You must document your fla file. See the homework template
- Hints
- Go for something that is simple
- Type of background depends on your objectives, it can be just a color.
- Use this exercise to prototype some feature of your term project.
- Remember the academic honesty policy ! Homework without credits given to external resources used will be refused.
