Difficulties 4

When it came to converting the video, Mansee helped me change the time of each frame and the order of my frames.

Difficulties 3

I wasn't able to smoothing the lines of some shapes I had outlined so I asked Nina, who taught me that all I had to do was hold down control while using the editing paths by nodes option.

Difficulties that occured while creating my animation 2

I found it difficult to create a specific part of my animation, where the birds are released from the slingshot. The movement of the bird off the canvas makes it difficult for me to move the background and bird to the right spot. I got over this difficulty after several tries of trial and error and eventually succeeded.

What difficulties did you encounter and how did you overcome them? 1

I encountered several difficulties while creating my animation especially the frame work. At first I wasn't able to export my frames as the canvas only, so I asked my classmate Gene, who told me that you had to export using 'Page'.

What frame rate were you aiming for?

The frame rate I was aiming for was 20 frames per second. The preferred amount of frames per second in an animation is 15 per second, though I wished to make my animation clear and not 'bumpy' so it would be a great watch.

What image format did you save your frames as?

The frames for my animation are saved as .png files. PNG files as described in the dictionary are Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. In a simpler description, a PNG is a compressed image file that offers better quality than the usual GIF or JPEG.

What image format were you saving your work in during development of the frames?

The image format I was saving my work in during the development of the frames was SVG File. In the dictionary,it is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic. Simpler, an SVG File is a file which you can save and edit whenever you need to unlike saving it as a .png file, which you can only edit the whole picture, not separate components, making Inkscape a great software to create animation frames.
