finishing touches
Well today is Monday and sir just told us to go on to the blog and add some extra stuff to the blog about the assignment.
so a quick rundown, i have finished ever thing, i have uploaded my video, made all the frames
so yes... i did have a few problems throughout this, as i had realised that it comes in from the right not the left, luckily sir said it
So all up, i have made my video, i am actually quite proud of my "little kicking machines" (LOL)
in the assignment i used paint, movie maker and insckape. i actually found this project kinda easy as soon as i figured out how to use insckape....
so yes hope it all goes well

4th blog
Today in IST, I got straight to work on my last few slides. i have now finished the project and its saving as a video.
It comes in from the right (woops!) then it kicks the ball, makes a face then walks out while waving.
Again today i had to change the 30 or so extra slides i did, i had to convert them from saved as an inskcape program to a paint program as the background was black when i put it on movie maker.
In the lesson i also played the movie a few times and made some small changes to some things. I have also saved the whole thing as a movie and the next step is to upload it onto blogger.
I have actually had fun on this assigment. i think it is a great project for students as they get to work on the computers and build up the computer skills.
I am happy ith the animation i have done and i cant wait to check out others.
Movie still to come!!

3rd blog
hey hey
Well today i asked Daniela why my background is black and how I can can change it because she had the same problem. She told me that i had to open each frame onto paint and then save them as a paint image. this took me a long time to do all 179 frames. After i had saved all of the images on paint i put them all on movie maker. yay to Daniela for helping me. I made the time shorter and it now looks believable. I now have to do around 30 slides which i will start working on after i post this, although it is frozen, so i may have work on it tomorrow.
I think i am going pretty well, and I'm actually enjoying this project. I still have a bit more to go but i think i will be able to do it all tomorrow as i did heaps the other lesson.
more to posted....

2nd blog
hey hey
well today i was still a little confused, so i asked sir what and how we had to do again.
after i had sorted that out... it was actually really easy i did around 150 slides. it is actually fun.
at lunch we being me Daniela Melanie and a few other friends... went into the ist room. i made now around 180 slides.... i was actually really shocked at the end of lunch because i realised that my person comes in from the right!!!!! i told sir and he said its OK cause a couple other people have done that as well. so yer he also said he liked mine... which is a good sign....
well i also had the idea of waving on the way out... but i told me mum and she said to make him like poking out the side waving or a click on the fingers and he vanished but that's too hard and besides he doesn't have any fingers....
well yes i still have a bit more to do but i also uploaded it onto movie maker and it had a black background... so i wasn't too sure on how to fix that so I'm going to ask Daniela as she had the same problem and sir helped her for that. so yer i think I'm going alright as Ive done heaps of frames...
I honestly think that mine is more funny then it is complex but hey, not changing it now!
more blogs and stick man to come!

first blog for assingment.
Well, today in IST, I drew character after character... i just could not draw one character that i thought was good enough to use. around half way through the lesson... after a lot of failing, sir, helped me and went through the whole thing on how to save the the individual picture, and how to work inskcape... as of course i had forgotten. So after that i had a good think about what i would do and i decided that i will have a ball on the floor and then the character will come in... look at it then kick it, but it will be like a massive kick and go off the screen, he puts his hand over his face and then exits.
i can totally picture the whole thing in my head so yay!!
OK so now I'm at home and i saved inskcape and gimp and every think i needed, but when i got on here to do it, it isn't a program on the computer so tomorrow ill ask sir how it is you get inskcape to work on a home computer.
I no that next lesson, being tomorrow i will ask sir how it is to save the program to work at home. i also tried downloading the program off the Internet but I'm not sure if its the right thing or if it has any virus, so ill just save it tomorrow.
