Animation Timeline
Animation
gif on Photoshop, have multiple images above each other to make a moving image
film. As a graphic designer I will
probably be asked to make a animation gif in the future, as in advertisement.
The first
thing we looked at is how to make animation gifs with different frames. Then we looked into different levels in timeline animation Photoshop, different techniques
that may be useful for me called hand drawn animation scans, video layers and video rotoscope.
The first
thing I did was create a very simple animated gif, as you can see above, I used Photoshop, the width
was 300, height was 100 and pixel aspect radio had to be used. I clicked on window, timeline; create a frame
animation, which is used to produce a gif.
The animation does not like the background layer, so it had to be
disposed while another ones were created, thus to the layer being
transparent.
I moved on
to creating 10 layers, something different in each layer. I made them simple; we
did not have much time to make them look appealing. Select all the layers and
then click create frame animation and click toolbox, make frame layers. I am
able to slow down the seconds, I selected 0.1 seconds, I learned that if I were
to crate a banner for advertisement it would be 0.5, each text would be shown
slower which allows the viewers to read. Traditional animation work in 24 frames per
second.
I settled
out my animation gif in the composition, I would of preferred to make it more appealing. When
I was done I saved it for web and this is my outcome.
