id rub out the bit you want to move, and then save as a different file, then compile them at the end.


DancingShauny99 Posted: Nov 1st 2008

sorry,can you explain how to do that exactly?im not dumb it's just I really wanna make sure I get it right


animation boy Posted: Nov 1st 2008

its ok, i went too quick.

draw your drawing on paint (id try to do a very simple one to start with.) Then once you;ve drawn it save it as something like... Dancingshaun 1. Then rub out, say the arm, and redraw it into the new position. Save this as Dancingshaun 2. Then rub out and draw it in the next position, save that as Dancing shaun3, and so on. Then when your done import them all in order to monkeyjam, and watch it !


DancingShauny99 Posted: Nov 1st 2008

Ok,how do I import them?


animation boy Posted: Nov 1st 2008

click file - import, then select the files


DancingShauny99 Posted: Nov 1st 2008

DancingShauny99 Posted: Nov 1st 2008

Umm,I don't have the import thing in my file

I'll give you a step by step guide as that is how i first done the animations i done ( if you want) with pictures.


DancingShauny99 Posted: Nov 2nd 2008

Ooh I want one please Ursrut!


Ursrut Posted: Nov 2nd 2008

okay.


Ursrut Posted: Nov 2nd 2008

First of all get a think of a shape or animal and draw it onto paint, to start off with don't try to be fancy. This one it's just going to be walking across the screen.
So here is the first picture.


Ursrut Posted: Nov 2nd 2008

Now for the next one you need to move it a bit on from where it is so if the shape is only half way out you need to click on the select button ( star one) and move it on a bit from there adding on any features that you need to. And save that one.


Ursrut Posted: Nov 2nd 2008

Now move it bit by bit across the screen maybe adding in a blink or a tail wag ( in my case).
Blinking just hit the circle button and cover the eyes and if you want a wink just the one eye.
To wag a tail just click on the star select button select the tail and right click and press rotate.

now go on to windows movie maker and click on the sub heading of import pictures. and find the folder with all the pictures you have created on paint.
Drag them in order down to the bar ( make sure it is on time line, you can change this by clicking timeline, this is important). once you have put all the pictures in hit the magnifying glass with a + in it to make the pictures bigger and click and drag on each one to take it down to 0.24) now hit play and make sure you are saving regualarly by hitting the F12 button. Ta da.
When you want to save it so that you can show us all be sure to hit the save to my computer button under the finish button as otherwise it is the wrong format for us to see.

Good luck!
