Frog Animation Part 2

I was not able to finish the questions yesterday, so this is the complete assignment:

(First completion)

(UPDATE 4/2/15)

1. What action script did you use? I used action script 3.0.
2. Why did you choose it? I chose action script 3.0 because I used it since the beginning of the schoolyear when the substitute introduced it to us.
3. How did you trace the frog/toad? Can you include examples of your work in the blog post? I traced the frog by using a yellow brush and tracing the outline from the picture.
4. Who is the master animator Richard Williams? Richard Williams is a Canadian-British animator who is most known for being the animating director for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
5. How did you research him or her? I researched Richard Williams by searching his name on google. I clicked on Wikipedia for the answer.
6. How large was your stage when you opened it? My stage was 650 px by 400 px.
7. Which software did you use and why? I used Adobe Flash because Flash is the only animating program that I know.
8. How many layers did you use? I used three layers.
9. Why did you choose your background? I chose my background because it contrasted nicely with the bright green frog.
10. Why did we create a frog/toad? (instead of a ball or entire city) We created a frog/toad to challenge ourselves and trace something that was not too difficult.
11. How did you export? I exported by clicking on File, then Export, then "Export Movie." I saved my animation as a gif. Then, I inserted the gif as an image onto my blog post.
12. How many frames did you create? I created 7 frames.

My animation deserves a 3 in all aspects, so a 9/9. I traced and colored the frogs well, the animation is very smooth, and the green background is consistent during the entire animation. I followed the steps well and I think that the outcome deserves a 100%.

This is the tracing of one frog.

Green Lantern and Wonder Woman Comparison

Green Lantern and Wonder Woman are both very strong warriors and have huge muscles. Both of them strive to do the best for humanity or aliens, and both have suits when they are in superman or superwoman mode. However, they are different in many ways. First of all, Green Lantern is male and Wonder Woman is female. Wonder Woman represents girl power and women's rights, while the Green Lantern is just a strong human who advocates the best for mankind or alienkind. Green Lantern needs a ring to become Green Lantern while Wonder Woman is already strong and intelligent. Wonder Woman's weapon is her fists and her lasso while the Green Lantern's ring provides him with all his superpowers. Wonder Woman was originally an Amazon. However, Green Lantern was a human. The two heroes are very different in the end.

Three Act and Logline

Logline: A young popular soccer star hangs out with his badminton loving friends (and an educated bookworm) with the impossible goal of making them love soccer.
Act 1 (Setup): This story starts off with a rainy park and an empty bench, then after the rain moves on, a book worm named Jack comes out into the park. Right after that Freddie and Afshine come to the park but Jack scares the living daylight out of Freddie as Freddie is scared of slimy creatures doing out of the mud.
Act 2 (Confrontation): Vomer Groner comes to the park as he is done with his soccer practice. He walks up juggling a soccer ball. He says "Sup" to all of his buddies and says, "Lets Play Ball!". They agree wholeheartedly as they are extremely bored. Vomer doesn't score any goals and passes all the balls he gets to his buddies to let them score and have fun. They all play for a while and even the bookworm is engaged in the game.
Act 3 (Resolution): Vomer and his friends have a very good time and they don't even ask for him to come play some badminton with them. Mission Impossible has succeeded!

Artistic Review - Green Lantern

   The Green Lantern began airing a while ago, and it is basically about a group of humans or aliens who dub themselves the "Green Lanterns" and do good deeds. I particularly enjoyed watchin episodes 1 and 2 because they were inspiring
   The things Green Lantern says are uplifting. For example, when the ship refuses to fly because it is dangerous in episode 1, he says something like, "We are Green Lanterns and we save those in need." This was interesting because it not only fit into that koment well, but it also relayed a good message to the audience. Usually kids watch these types of cartoon shows, and by watching this, they learn that they should be kind and compassionate towards others.
   Another inspiring thing is when the Green Lantern's friend saves the people from destruction. This was especially touching because his friend already learned from his past that he should save the people. The people watching this realize to not be self-centered and that everyone is a part of this world.
   The first two episodes were entertaining and full of action. I was most satistifed with how important the messages were in this cartoon show.

Jack meets Spock!

This is a simple dialogue between Spock from Star Trek and my character, Jack.

Spock: Hello, my name is Spock.
Jack: Good afternoon, my name is Jack. Just wondering, have you read The Conquering of Japan?
Spock: Ah, yes of course. I learned many new battle techniques from this particular book. Reading books like these help me find techniques to fight creatures and my foes in the future. I have read many books similar to this one, but I like this book the most.
Jack: I definitely agree with what you said. Although I do not have to read complex books to fight enemies, I chose this book as my favorite. It will not help me in real life, but it is interesting and I learned a lot.
Spock: Have you read The Art of War?
Jack: Of course, that is a classic! I have even reread it because it is so wonderful. These books are so interesting, and I wonder what will happen to me if I actually became a soldier in war!
Spock: You won't be a soldier, you are far too smart too be a mere pawn. You would be a commander, a planner. In fact, one day, when I complete Machine 5000, I can transform you into a person for one day!
Jack: Wow, that is amazing! Oh no, I cannot talk to you longer, I must eat now. Next time, please tell me how you were able to make this machine!
Spock: Yes, of course. It was great talking to you today. Next time, we will go into more detail.
