I created a bunch of Fish Animation for this activity using Adobe Animate. In this animation, Layer Parenting of Animation is being used, where the fins of fish are connected to their bodies. A leader fish and small fish followers swim or move together from right to left direction.
Several tools and panels, including a stage, timeline, properties, and panel, were utilized in the animation's creation. The selecting tool was the instrument utilized. On the timeline, you can see the layers' transformations through Parenting View, the fish's important postures are marked using Inserting Keyframe, and a simple motion effect between keyframes is created using Classic Tweening.
Fish animation was fun yet challenging. This task taught me that even with novice animation software, making a one-minute animation is tricky. In this task, connecting the fish fins to the body proved challenging because certain fins won't move with the body. Keyframe selection and fish movement throughout the stage were also difficult. Without following these animation stages, the fish will not move. This animation was completed with the support of peers and a meticulous step-by-step review.
One thing I picked up from this task is how to animate a character's limbs in tandem with the rest of their body. I also grasped the concept of layers and how they are utilized in animation.
