Jessica Hirsch: Project 3

(http://sws.pcc.edu/student/CAS175_pdeangel_27343/jessicahirsch10/Project3/project3.swf)

Classic Tween: The classic tween in my project is the animated snow. I love the way the snow turned out. It's my favorite part of this project.

Shape Tween: The shape tween is the animated stars. They move and 2 out of the 4 stars are skewed and change color from yellow to orange during the animation.

Motion Tween #1: The first motion tween I used was for my background deer. I applied the Start & Stop (Fast) ease to him, and adjusted the easing to I also changed his tint during his animation. I adjusted a lot of the points on his motion guide so he would follow exactly what path I wanted him to follow.

Motion Tween #2: The second motion tween I used was for my rabbit. I applied Stop & Start (Slow) with a negative ease of 46. I adjusted the points on the bunny's path to make sure he would follow exactly what path I wanted him to follow. I also adjusted the bunny's rotation on the line so sometimes he's looking up and sometimes down. It kind of looks like he's hopping along. I tried the bouncing eases for the bunny, but didn't like the way they turned out at all even after hours of adjusting and repositioning. So I decided to just go for the ease I chose and customize it to my liking.

Changes to Original Assets: I decided to "save time" on this project by re-using my Project 2. However, I made some changes to my assets for this project.

• I "broke apart" my original rabbit asset and modified it a little bit to give him some little paws, and a little more shading.
  
• I changed the alpha of the original stars in the background so they would be less noticeable so the focus in the sky would be on the snow and the moving stars.

Tutorials: I have found the tutorials very helpful if I get stuck. I prefer to just play around with something until I figure it out in some cases, because I'm more likely to retain the information that way.
