Progress 1

Step One- Find an Animation tutor, whether it is a person from this class or anyone willing to give up some of their time to coach me outside of class.

Step Two- Watch numerous tutorials online. Last quarter I did not have enough time to watch any how to's or beginner's tutorials online due to the heavy work load from school both in class and outside of class homework. Also I am a part time employee, so making the time to understand animation is frustrating.

Step Three- Find time to play around with Adobe Flash. Now, that I have purchased Adobe CS4 software that includes flash, I am able to be at home and take more time to focus on the crucial basic foundations towards animating.

So far, I am working by myself and do not have a partner. I am not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing, considering I am a beginner in this field of study. I saved my 2D animation storyboard, written draft, sketches, other flash projects that you had us to do in class from last quarter. As far as I know, I am still keeping my original story called "Joey Learns to Walk." If I decide to change my entire idea, I will definitely let you know. I am not sure how long we have to figure that out, but I am sure that you will let us know. Overall, I am not quite sure how I will go about animating this project, but I will try my best to get the job done and pass this class.
