Using the Bone Tool in Flash

Designing for the Web

We are going to "Flip the Classroom" for this project. Searching for information about a topic on the Internet can seem simple,  just type in what you need and you get the answers.  Not always.  Sometimes I spend ten minutes watching or reading a tutorial and realize that I am wasting my time.  So what makes a tutorial found on the web worthwhile?  YOU tell me at the end of this lesson, be prepared to share the process with the class.
In this lesson you will be required to:
  • Create a short animation that utilizes the bone tool. This can be a brief showcase of the bone tool.
  • Find useful resources on the web that will teach you how to make an animation utilizing the bone tool. 
If you choose you may work with a partner.  Start your search for information on animations created using the bone tool.  Answer the following questions in a new journal entry.  
  1. What websites were the most helpful to you and who were they published by?
  2. Which sites weren't so helpful to you and who were they published by?
  3. Were there any sites that were blocked from you that you think could have been useful?
  4. Were you able to access any videos of someone creating an animation using the bone tool?
  5. Once you found the information what complications did you have creating the animation?
  6. Did you utilize Photoshop when creating this animation?
  7. How did you and your partner work together? What portions of the work did you do?
  8. What would you like to add to or change about your animation?
