Advancing our Advert 1

Lauren and I began aminating our clips yesterday and found it rather uplifting, completeing a clip each completely finished gave us both more confidence in our project, knowing now that we are capable of completion. I animated the scene in which one of the original skittles meets one of the tropical skittles they are made to look as though they are shaking hands. Lauren animated the clip where three skittles are in a boat moving across the sea, adding in arms. Both of the clips look really good just as we had imagined. One of the problems we did however come across on our first attempt to animate was after we though we had completed it we the exported it and found that half of the shot was missing, this was because we hadnt resized it to fit into the square provided my flash. Realising what went wrong and starting again was a bit of a hassle but we managed to do it and complete them rather quickly so we werent to bothered. On of the things we have to remeber is to export the movie in the format of QuickTime otherwise we are unable to upload them onto iMovies.

Having some completed clips, we have started to put them together on iMovies, me and lauren have and a few disagrrements about this as i think it is a better idea to use the old version as we have more experience with it, however, it is on another mac so we will have to transfer all our shots. Lauren thinks the newer iMovies would be better because it is more advanced than the old one and it is also on the mac we have all our clips on. This is problably the better option as we will have a better finish to our adverts but it will mean having to spend some time learning to use it.
