WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:16.280 Hello young creators, welcome to our fantastic world of animation. Today we're going to 00:16.280 --> 00:22.200 learn about different animation techniques and create our very own animated story with 00:22.200 --> 00:28.200 a little robot named Blinky. Are you ready to bring your imagination to life? Let's start 00:28.200 --> 00:35.040 our animated adventure, animation techniques. Animation is like magic, it brings drawings 00:35.040 --> 00:41.240 and objects to life, from cartoons to video games, animation is everywhere telling stories 00:41.240 --> 00:46.520 and sparking joy. Interesting fact, did you know that the first animated film was made 00:46.520 --> 00:56.000 over a century ago in 1908? It was called Phantasmagory and was drawn by hand. 00:56.000 --> 01:01.880 1. What is animation? There are different types of animation that artists use to tell 01:01.880 --> 01:08.640 their stories. Let's explore them. Traditional animation. This is where artists draw every 01:08.640 --> 01:17.880 frame by hand. Think of the classic cartoons you love. 2D digital animation. Today, animators 01:17.880 --> 01:25.280 use computers to create animations more efficiently. Many TV shows and web cartoons use this technique. 01:25.840 --> 01:32.240 3D animation. This style is used in most modern movies and video games to create life-like 01:32.240 --> 01:38.800 characters and worlds. Stop motion. This is where physical objects are moved little by little 01:38.800 --> 01:45.840 and photograph to create movement. Principles of animation. Great animations are built on 01:45.840 --> 01:52.800 key principles like timing, motion and expression. These principles help make animations feel 01:53.360 --> 02:01.280 real and alive. Creating characters and stories now. Let's create our character and story. 02:01.920 --> 02:07.520 Meet Blinky. A small, adventurous robot with big, expressive eyes and a curious nature. 02:08.160 --> 02:12.240 Blinky loves exploring but often finds itself in funny situations. 02:12.960 --> 02:18.000 Step-by-step guide. Brain storm. Think about what makes characters interesting. 02:18.560 --> 02:24.640 What special abilities or quirks do they have? Sketch. Draw your character. It can be anything. 02:25.200 --> 02:30.320 A brave astronaut, a talking tree, or like our Blinky, a friendly robot. 02:31.040 --> 02:37.600 Personality. Give your character a name and personality. Is it brave, funny or clever? 02:38.320 --> 02:45.440 Let's dive into Blinky's world. Blinky lives in Roboterra, a vibrant planet where robots thrive. 02:45.520 --> 02:52.080 It's always on an adventure, exploring the bustling streets of Techno City and making new friends. 02:53.280 --> 03:00.320 Crafting the adventure. Blinky's adventure begins when it sees a mysterious signal from space. 03:00.880 --> 03:06.160 It sets off on a journey, overcoming challenges and meeting other space robots. 03:06.880 --> 03:13.680 Each friend it makes teaches Blinky something new. Finally, Blinky discovers an ancient robot and 03:13.680 --> 03:20.400 learns valuable lessons about courage, friendship, and history. Blinky returns home, not just 03:20.400 --> 03:28.960 as a small robot, but as a brave explorer and a hero. Fun fact. In animation, 24 frames per second 03:28.960 --> 03:34.480 is the standard frame rate. That means for one second of smooth animation, there are 24 different 03:34.480 --> 03:41.920 images. Section 2. Introduction to Adobe. Animate now. Let's learn about Adobe animate. 03:41.920 --> 03:48.240 A tool that helps bring our animations to life. It has a timeline, a stage, tool panels, 03:48.240 --> 03:54.560 and properties panel. Each important for creating animations. Starting your first project, 03:54.560 --> 03:59.760 launch Adobe animate and start a new project. Familiarize yourself with the workspace, 03:59.760 --> 04:07.280 the stage, timeline, and tools. Creating a simple animation. Let's draw a happy cloud and 04:07.280 --> 04:13.120 animate it moving across the sky. We'll use the brush tool, choose colors, and create a background. 04:13.760 --> 04:19.760 Then, we'll animate our cloud by inserting keyframes and using the create classic tween function. 04:20.400 --> 04:26.720 Press Enter to see your cloud drift across the sky. Save and export your project to share your 04:26.720 --> 04:33.760 animation with others. Fun fact. Did you know the Simpsons is the longest running animated series? 04:34.400 --> 04:39.680 It started in 1989 and is famous for its humorous take on family life. 04:40.320 --> 04:47.760 Quiz time. Let's test your animation knowledge. What is frame rate? Is it true that each frame 04:47.760 --> 04:53.280 in traditional animation is drawn by hand? Can you match the different animation techniques 04:53.280 --> 05:01.680 with their descriptions, recap, and review? Well done. Today, we learned about the magical world 05:01.680 --> 05:07.840 of animation. We met Blinky, the adventurous robot, and even started our journey in Adobe 05:07.840 --> 05:14.320 animate. Remember, animation is not just about moving pictures. It's about telling stories, 05:14.320 --> 05:21.280 sparking imagination, and creating something extraordinary. Keep dreaming and creating young 05:21.280 --> 05:27.440 animators. Until next time, let your imagination soar and your stories come to life.
