This week’s activity was to 2D animate a 2 second looped gif at 12fps, so I had to draw 24 frames total. I feel like I say this every week but this activity is my new favourite. To be honest using adobe animate was a bit easier than photoshop, there were only a few things that were confusing, like converting all my layers to a symbol. For some reason selecting the layers wasn’t working and I would just end up with one layer as the new symbol, so I ended up putting them in a folder first, then creating the symbol. I also kept accidentally selecting singular frames when I needed to apply my changes to the whole thing, but command z exists so it wasn’t detrimental at all. Drawing was definitely the easiest part, I chose not to use the Wacom tablet and I’m glad I did, since I didn’t have to deal with the technical difficulties everyone using them had. Overall, I am very happy with my results.
