The Sun Animation

 

    I learned to animate about 2 weeks ago. I learned how to animate with the help of my friends and with the help of Ms. Lemley. Ms. Lemley taught us how to use the program fireworks by giving us some examples and a lot of instructions. In fireworks was where I did my animation.

 

    First of all, I learned to click on the rectangle tool and make a background for the animation, then I needed to pick the color I liked, for the background, so that I could start creating shapes and creating my own animation. After this was done, I replaced the name of "Frame 1" to "Background". Next to the frame that said "Background" was a picture of a pencil, I double clicked on that picture and I locked my background. Once I locked it, at the bottom, it said: APPLY TO ALL FRAMES. I clicked on it and I got the same background for all my frames, so that I didn't have to do my background over and over again. By using the circle tool I made the shape for the sun and also the shape for the different layers of it (Core, Radiation Zone, Convective Zone, and Photosphere). I picked the color that I licked and I filled all my circles with the different colors I had picked. By clicking the effect tool I put glow and different interesting effects to make the corona and the chromosphere of the sun. By using shapes and the brush tool I created the other effects on the sun and lastly I was done. I had a lot of fun doing this project.
