Week 6 (continued)

After looking at everyone's animations, we learned about creating multiple scenes. Using multiple scenes is helpful because they allow you to cut from one scene to the next and they help you stay organized. I wish that I had learned about scenes last year when I was first introduced to Flash. My animation last year was only one scene and it had so many frames that it was difficult to navigate to the part of my animation that I wanted to edit in a time efficient fashion.

The example of a second scene that we were given in class was a bird's eye view of road with clouds and a butterfly flying overhead. I thought that the overhead view was very interesting, and I decided that I wanted to incorporate a similar scene in my final animation. I liked the idea of a camera panning with the butterfly at some points and remaining stationary at other points in order to create interest.
