Final Piece


For my final piece I used what I thought was by best piece of pixel art and using Adobe Flash, made it into an animation. When I was thinking about what I could do to make this piece an animation I thought a good idea would be to make it change colour, this would give a cool effect when looped and would be relatively easy to do on Flash. To make the brain change colour I had to do all the colour editing on Photoshop to a Jpeg that was exactly the right size so that it would transfer onto Flash correctly, this took allot of trial and error but I eventually got to a point where all I had to do was slowly change the hue on Photoshop and drag the frame onto Flash, this was a relatively long process but I think the outcome is very successful.

Animation Experimentation - Pixel Demon

For this experimentation I worked on making an animation that would use the pixel style, this specific piece is a simple GIF that works off of the sprite style, usually in games that use sprites they use a simple animation like this for when the character is talking. I think as an experimentation for pixel animation it was quite successful.

Animation Experimentation - Planet

This is another experimentation with flash, with this piece I tried to make the first and last frame the same so that on a loop it would work as a proper GIF.

Animation Experiment - Ghost

This experimentation was with Adobe Flash, I wanted to get a feeling for the software with a simple style animation before I move onto the pixel animation. I think for a first use of Flash this was a relatively successful attempt.
