Animated Fish

 

Description:

     This animation is a captivating depiction of a fish swimming in the ocean, designed using Adobe Animate. The animation aims to showcase the beauty and grace of marine life. Adobe Animate's diverse tools were utilized to create this dynamic scene. The brush tool was used to sketch the fish and the ocean environment, while the bone tool was employed to animate the fish's movements, giving it a sense of fluidity and grace. The classic tween feature was used to create smooth transitions between the fish's actions, adding to its realism. The concept behind this work was to capture the essence of the underwater world, using the animated fish as a symbol of its beauty and wonder.

Reflective Writing:

  During the activity of creating a fishing animation using Adobe Animate, I learned a great deal. This initial phase was challenging as it required a good understanding of drawing principles. However, I overcame this by practicing and referring to various tutorials.

     The next step was the animation phase, which involved creating a timeline and adding keyframes. Initially, I faced difficulties in understanding the concept of keyframes and how to add motion to the characters. But, with consistent practice and by following the guide and steps, I was able to grasp the concept.

Skills Acquired:

1. Character Animation: Through this project, I acquired skills in animating characters, specifically the fish. I learned how to create smooth and believable movements, paying attention to details such as weight and timing.

2. Motion Tweens: I gained proficiency in using motion tweens to create fluid animations. This technique allowed me to easily animate the fishing rod's swinging motion and the fish's swimming movements.

3. Understanding of Timeline and Keyframes: I acquired the skill of creating a timeline and adding keyframes to animate characters.
