Reflective Writing

  I gained a lot of knowledge about using the Adobe Animate application during this session. Making my own animation is really difficult for me at start, even with a guide that I can look at. However, after practicing each meeting, I made every effort to concentrate and adhere to the detailed instructions so that I could complete my animated task. After that, I may effectively benefit from a wealth of knowledge. I'm majoring in ICT, so having this knowledge would help me become a better animator. Making hands-on animated characters and animals can also help me learn knowledge, improve my skills, and increase my confidence. 

    There are several advantages to creating animated characters. By giving characters new life, it lets you express your imagination. It improves narrative, making stories more relatable and captivating. Furthermore, character design, animation methods, and general comprehension of visual communication can all be enhanced by making animated figures. It's an important skill set for anyone working in industries like marketing, education, and entertainment because it gives them a flexible way to express themselves. Animated characters can be extremely useful tools for communicating ideas, increasing the engagement and productivity of your work in the field you represent. Additionally, when looking for possibilities in your major, having practical experience designing animated characters will help you stand out and improve your portfolio.

    The challenges that I have faced in making animated characters/animals is it is hard for me to understand the guide at first and I don't even know where is the specific tool to be used. Also, one of the challenges I have faced is the insert frames and insert classic tween. What I mean, is if there is one wrong move, back to the beginning again. I did the animated a lot of times. It is very hassle and tiring at the same time. But, after I tried many attempts. I already overcame those challenges that I have faced that day. I literally focus and memorize the steps, so that I can finished my animated activity on time.
