PROJECT 4 PROGRESS

I continued working on the poster. Started working on animation . I will continue working in Adobe Effects.

I asked Mr. Fauzi about my poster and I received feedback that my poster is good. Hence, I started with the animation of my work.

Figure 1 Animation Steps, Week 13

In the beginning I decided to make an animation of the car added ''Position'' to make the car move from one place to another.

For the car animation, I downloaded an image of a wheel . And I did Rotate. So that when the car was driving the wheels would rotate too.  

Figure 2 Animation Steps, Week 13

To create the text animation in Photoshop, I first underlined the text using the Pen Tool to create outlines. After that, I added animation to make the text appear smoothly on the screen, creating the effect as if it were being drawn in real time.

And then created an animation where my hand moves as if I were drawing text. To do this, I used Timeline in Photoshop and added keyframes to animate the movement of my hand. First, I placed the image of my hand on a separate layer and created its movement along the path of the text to coincide with the appearance of the text. The text was gradually “drawn” in the process, and the hand moved across the screen as if I were actually writing it.

REFLECTIONS

Experience - While working on my text animation, I learned how to combine different techniques in Adobe Photoshop. I created an animation where my hand moved as if I were drawing text using keyframes and animation tools. 

Observations - I noticed that to create a realistic animation, it is important to carefully synchronize the movement of the hand with the appearance of the text. This requires precision in setting up keyframes and timelapses to make everything look smooth and natural. It's also important that the hand is properly placed and moves along a logical path, which helps to enhance the “real drawing” effect.

Findings  - I realized how important each step is in the process of creating an animation, from preparing text outlines to synchronizing movements. This assignment showed me how animation can be used to add dynamics and interest to ordinary text. I am proud that I was able to create such an effect, and now I am confident that I will be able to use this knowledge in future projects, improving my skills with animation and Photoshop.
