Halloween Web Project


Process 

This web page was made in Dreamweaver in favor of Halloween in 2016. The banner at the top is animated, which I made the animation in Photoshop. And the websites that are linked in the web page have an iFrame on them, so that you can view them within the web page. The animated pumpkin next to the banner was also made in Photoshop. I changed all the colors of the heading and the colors of the links so that the background doesn't make the links invisible.

New Things

When in the process of making this project, I did learn more about how to animate, but not only that I  learned how to use Iframe and how it works. This is also the first page the is linked to my index page and is online (Click Web Page in the First Paragraph). I had to go and download the font I used for the title, it was pretty easy to put it into Photoshop.

Character Story


Character Story Animation:





The Process:

In this project, I had to make an animation with a beginning, middle, and end with a plot. I created the characters in PhotoShop and I created the animation in After Effects. This took me about 1 and a half weeks to create, and not knowing a lot on how to animate I think I did pretty good. Before I even touched the computer to start making the animation, I first made a storyboard over what the animation was going to be about, just that part took about two days. It was a technical animation for me because I had to animate a lot of the parts of the robot, all the body parts were separate, and it got confusing after a while which body parts belonged to each of the robots. I did learn how to do a few things when on After Effects, I learned how to use opacity keyframes and rotation keyframes, like with the laser, it was there the whole time but the opacity was turned down all the way. I could have put more effort into the background, but I just didn't have enough time. In the storyboards, I crossed out a lot of the scenes because I either modified it or did not like the scene when trying to do the animation. The story boards is what I made before making it and I followed it out like a template when making the animation in After Effects.
