The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round

This week in our Digital Media lab I began to work on my flash animation. I have drawn the bus and made the wheels turn. I also elaborated about a dog riding the bus. Instead of it being ordinary pet animals, I have started drawing giraffes on the bus. I drew a cow on the bus. I am going to draw a bear on the bus. I think the end of the story will be resulting in the animals proclaiming, “A child on the bus? How unusual!”
It took me a long time to understand how to make the buses wheels rotate while making the body of the bus not. I didn’t realize I would need to make a separate layer for each wheel. This was the biggest obstacle this week while using flash. I now understand how to make the wheels rotate.
I also thought drawing on flash with the brush tool was going to be more challenging. Flash seems to assume your drawing edges and then creates soft-edged lines. This looks much more smooth and professional than my usual jagged drawings.
