03-13 Movie Animation

This week I created a video out of my pivot animation using Windows Movie Maker 2.6. This was my first time using window movie maker, but it was fairly easy to use. My only challenges were finding proper sound effects to go along with some of the movements and compressing my file so that I could add the sound effects into the audio layer.

Pivot Animation

During this animation project, I learned how to make a short animation using the Pivot software. Since this was my first time using this software, one challenge that I had was that I had no clue how to make this figure move. I could do simple movements of the limbs and head, but I didn't know how to get the figure to go anywhere. And when I finally did , the movements did not flow which made the animation look unrealistic.

Now that I've  finally become adjusted to using pivot, this new skill could be applied to make more animations for entertainment or even advertisement.
