Assignment- 6

Step 3: Frame ME
What exactly is my animation other then a whole lot of frames and to create MY animation it took me around 100 frames.

(Sir you'll find the answer to two questions " What image format were you saving you work in during the development of the frames' and 'What image format did you save you frames as')

Exporting Frames:
To export frames I put my cartoon vector images onto the same inkscape file and positioned them in the places I visioned them in.

To export you frames you simply need to go to file then scroll down to 'export bitmap'. Once the tab is opened you need to brouse and find the place you want to place your fames,as well as name your first frame. Then you simply move you vector images as bit more and slightly change the frame name, then export agin, repeat this process to export your frames.  Oh and Vital thing, when you export your frames make sure you export the page every time, not anything else.

In our animation the clock seconds hand ticks every 5 seconds in every frame along side the movement of the ding dong thing and the mouse coming in. Then the mouse sees the chees to the top of the clock and the frames then shift to the image of the mouse thinking of the cheese. Then we see the mouse climbing up the clock, Once the mouses reached the top he starts eating the cheese. to get this effect I used the Bezier tool to draw small clouds completely in the colour of white then dupilate them and place them on top of the cheese as the mouse moves accross eating the cheese.

Then I again go to some frames of a close up of the mouse. As the mouse talks then goes to sleep. back on top of the clock the mouse is asleep, ans a frame at a time the z's appear.

Then the clock stricks 1pm which wakes the mouse up. Then I slightly move accross the clock as the mouse starts to come down the clock. and leads itself out of the image.
During the development of these frames I saved them as a '.svg' file (aka. vector image- made up of shapes)). So that when I retured to work on my images I could simply open it up and move the images with ease. However as I made my frames I saved them as '.png' ( which is a bitmapped images- made up of pixels). This is because standard animations are usualy made with bitmaped imaged.
