First thoughts on animation project

Oh my gosh, I did it!

I finally got something I feel proud of.  This process was really hard for me, but I persevered and made it happen!  My classmates really inspired me during presentation our last day of class.  I was really amazed at how they made it look easy!  I am used to small tasks taking a long time in Photoshop but animation takes that to a whole new level!  I learned a lot from the process.  I think if I started a new project now I would be much more comfortable and able to do some of the effects more smoothly.  I opted to stay with the choppy quality, I like the feel of it.  I think in a way it ends up being more personal.  Ready?  Here it is...

Was it a dream?  Could they really grow those wings?  In a flash it was there and gone.  Do you believe it's possible?  Do you believe in magic?

No love for animation

I'm having a really hard time with the animation project.  I have lost hours of work several times.  I have thought about ditching this project and starting over many times.  I have watched countless videos and read many how to websites but so far it isn't helping.  I did finally get this part done.  It doesn't look like much, but it took a really long time.  I didn't use many photographs as I was trying hard to use photoshop skills to blend the frames together.
