Animate

Adobe Animate is the software used to make animated content for cartoons, advertisements and interactive content for example South Park. The task at hand was create a little piece that gets across Cartman from south park and Kenny from south park walking up to a gas canister and Kenny getting set on fire and turning into ash. All of the images seen in the animate sequence is all for the internet as there is a tool on animate that allows to you break and image up to make them all separate and this is how the eyes are able to blink among with other features in the sequence. Using the South Park background obviously set the scene for this task as well as using the characters from South Park. It is important to make every separate part of the animation have its own layer, for example one layer for Cartman, one layer for the background and one layer of the ash. It is also important to remember that you have to set a key frame for which ever frame you want something to appear because other wise it will be there when you don’t want it to, the easiest way to do this is to paste the image in to the software by already clicking on the frame you want it to appear on. If you want something moving, you have to set a key from on the frame you want it to start from and then set another key frame on the frame you want it to end up at and then it should move to where ever you placed it. During the work of this graphic there was some issues that occurred. The issues that where apparent where with mainly the sound and the button. With the sound issues the problem was importing the sound into the software, as this was not simple and a problem, Furth more the importing audio was grayed out for a some time but then eventually it became clickable and worked. The next issue was with the button, this was a struggle, as you have to follow every step work for word because otherwise it will not work and you will be stuck on it. Throughout learning a Imation the tips  and tricks taught came into play very much so and they are needed to fulfill the task at hand.
