ANIMATED EQUIVALENT OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL
The second unit we did in Digital Media was Animation. Animation is a series of illustrations drawn to create the illusion of motion. All of my animation projects were made using a variety of software and hardware. The GIFs typically used Adobe PhotoShop, with the claymation animation requiring me to take pictures using a camera. The vector animations were made using Flash as well as creating assets in Illustrator. The ability to make GIFs is something I have particularly made use of from this unit, and I continue to do it in class to this day! If I could do anything differently, it would probably be to make the Flash animation a little less ambitious. Creating an entire human in Illustrator, as well as finding a way to animate each part of his body was a real hassle that I feel like I could have easily avoided.
