Anim HW #1
Animating in Photoshop Tutorials
Watching this quick tutorial for a simple idea or starting animating in Photoshop as a beginner. The video wasn't too hard to follow at all. Unlike any other tools we use to create art designs in Illustrator or Photoshop, looking out in a simple frame-by-frame animation for a beginner such as myself, I don't see any tools that may be hard to use in this video. I've found this more manageable than the introduction to Illustrator and Photoshop. I found it interesting that a short video like this goes straight to the point and doesn't cut any edges out of showing how to make a simple animation like this. Learning how to create a new group and, in each one of the layers, space it out to as many frames per second as you want the animation to run is easy enough toe to create this moving image or an animated GIF when creating a shape or design in each layer or for each frame per second
For the second video, the YouTuber goes into more detail about every tool to press just to have the perfect settings/interface for the best-looking animations and better-looking designs or frames. That's what I found most interesting in this video: just how straightforward he is with the settings. He suggests what he believes best and what settings to use for beginner learning. Usually, these videos don't do that enough when they go over something as simple as the settings, although if a beginner were to mess up the settings, it could ruin or alter the animation itself. Not only do I find that to be most helpful in learning as a b beginner how to use Photoshop to make these animations, but the creator in the video also takes his time, cutting out a significant portion of the video to simply illustrate a two-frame animation with just two designs moving back and forth. Although this isn't technically considered a complete animation, it's a better beginning to help someone like me understand how the tool works by seeing it in the simplest way possible.
The last video I reviewed for a tutorial on Photoshop animated using keyframing jumps right into it from the start. Unlike the other two videos, this one stands out to me more as this video provides a bit of a comedic tone, with the YouTuber himself zooming in on parts of the video and acting a bit off to catch the viewer's attention. To say the least, it was annoying and too much, but it made me want to pay attention to it and listen to see if his instructions differed from the other two videos. Although the instructions were pretty much the same in this video as they were in the others, and the tools that he used are the same in the other videos, the only difference again is that this video jumped right into it with an already pre-made design just to show how the keyframes work. The Keyframe tool itself is pretty simple to follow and use as there isn't any new tool that seems too hard to use or to learn to use as time passes.
