Blog #2- Flip book

First off I have to start by saying that I completely forgot about this because I am so used to not having anything due on the weekends.
Secondly, I have to say that taking the index cards that I had drawn and scanning them on to the computer by itself was a daunting task. I think it ended up taking me somewhere around four hours to do so. But maybe that's just because I am a perfectionist and had to have them all lined up and only allowed myself to scan three at a time. Additionally to that I had a lot of struggles with putting the cards that I had scanned onto the computer into after effects/premiere. I kept switching between the two and trying each one to see which one I could create it in better and easier. I felt like actually making each of the cards I had scanned a certain length so that they flowed and did not overlap was over all the easiest of all the different tasks that this project required. Another thing that I had a lot of trouble with in the programs was getting the dang pictures to show up in the preview box so that I could make sure they were showing up correctly and timed right.

The very last thing that was such a pain in the butt was realizing that all the work I had done and all the time I had spent waiting for vimeo to upload my animation, was a waste. The video when I first viewed it was way different timing wise than the video I had created in after effects. What can ya do though? I have no clue why it was sped up in vimeo when it wasn't like that at all before. If you have any clue or could help me in the future with these things please lemme know.

Loved my flip book but animation is another story because of how frustrating it was to do and how it ended up messed up online.
