Getting better. These past few days I have continued to advance my skills in the software by creating more complex animations. However I can not show them because you have to pay for videos in Weebly so the best thing I can do is just to upload pictures of what my animations look like. I can also show what the software looks like. So I have continued to watch videos on how to use Adobe animate. I am still new, but I have definitely improved. However it is harder to learn because most of the tutorials that I watch use pictures of characters rather than hand drawing their objects. But I think that it might be a good option to use pre-made characters because they would be cleaner and possibly easier to use. I am really excited to continue to work in animation because it has always been something that I have loved. I would watch a TON of cartoons when I was younger, also I have always loved to draw and doodle on literally everything. So it would be super cool if I could bring them to life. For the next week I am going to have to learn how to use pre-made characters to animate, because that might help me understand hand drawn animation better. I still do not want to work with sound quite yet because I think that will be the most fun and I might try to get other people to voice some of the characters. Another thing I will need to learn is how to lip-sync the characters mouths.

The Real Beginning So last week I basically just made sure that I had all of the things I needed in order to make the animation. This week I actually started trying to come up with the ideas for the animation. I started out by simply using Adobe Illustrator to draw some more ideas for the animation, however I put more thought into these and even added color. After I made these drawings to show what exactly the style of the animation would look like, I decided that I needed to get a better understanding of the software, so I watched a video on Adobe Animate that went a little more in-depth so I could learn how to use layers and other features. It is still hard and complicated, and it will take me a lot of time to figure out what all I need to do, but I do know what I will start working on next. Also here is a link to the video I watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7huMYp7WpsI So in the future, I will need to watch more tutorials. There are so many things that I need to learn that will make my animation look professional. And I am still new, and I do not really have anyone who can teach me directly, so it will be hard and I will have to put a lot of effort into this project if I want to succeed. I also need to practice drawing my new characters so that way when I am ready to get started, I will not have to think about what I want them to look like, or have trouble drawing them.
This is the first week of my Genius Hour project. For my project I really wanted to do something that involved drawing because that is something that I really like to do, so I decided to do an animation. For this animation I needed to make sure that I had a laptop that I can draw on, has a good graphics card, and enough storage to hold all of the files that I will make for this project. So I downloaded some drawing, animating, and voice recording software. So I watched videos about the basics of the different software. I started making some drawings and in the next few weeks I will try to think of a plot and learn how to import sound into my animations.
