Initializing Filbert in the scene and flipping him horizontallyДЇig 6. By dragging the right middle grab handle horizontally across FilbertвЂ™s body I can cause him to flip horizontally.ДЇig 5. I could do this by entering 180 in the skewing and rotation text boxes or I can use the select tool transform outline that is around Filbert. I want to scale him down to 50% of his actual drawn size so I check the вЂњ keep proportionsвЂќ box and set his scale value text box to 0.5. So using the scene planning select tool and the drawing tab of the properties panel, I reduce him in size and change his orientation. I switch to camera view and there is Filbert but he is too big and facing in the wrong direction. Now that I have Filbert swimming for 30 seconds on the exposure sheet I still need to place him in the scene and then have him do more than just splash about. Entering the number of cycles you want to create There are other ways that I could have done this as we will see later in this scene.ДЇig 4.

I need to repeat this for all 7 of FilbertвЂ™s elements. (The original cycle is included in the total cycle count) When I click on OK the exposure sheet is populated by repeating cycles of cells all the way to frame 720 as expected. 3 Using the Create Cycle menu commandДЄ dialog box opens and I enter 60 for the number of cycles.

By right clicking I open the context menu and can select вЂњcreate cycleвЂќ.ДЇig. To do this I select an element and select the 12 frames of the swim cycle. (720 divided by 12) To fill out my exposure sheet I can create 60 cycles out of each of FilbertвЂ™s component elements. So if FilbertвЂ™s swim cycle is 12 frames long then there will be 60 swim cycles in the scene up to the point of the reaction. At 24 frames per second (FPS) 30 seconds is equal to 720 frames. It turns out that he is supposed to swim for 30 seconds of screen time and then react. This way I will know how many exposures I will need of Filbert swimming for my exposure sheet. Once the swim cycle is created, I have to look at the storyboard and the directorвЂ™s notes to learn the duration of the swimming prior to Filbert reacting to meeting the shark. The 7 element parts of Filbert in the Exposure Sheet But it was totally an arbitrary choice for demonstration purposes.ДЇig 2. I chose to use 7 elements to show the composite of multiple layers to create a character. I could easily have done it by just drawing the six key drawings on six cells of a single layer. I constructed Filbert swimming using 7 individual elements or layers. The cycle uses only six unique images spaced on 2вЂ™s, which means one new image every other frame. I animated the swimming cycle through drawn images. The 6 keys for the swim cycle (click to enlarge) To accomplish this we will need a swimming cycle that will be repeated for some period of time as well as a motion path to move Filbert along as he swims.ДЇig 1. The sceneвЂ™s storyline calls for Filbert, a fish, to swim into the scene from off camera and to slowly swim to about the middle of the scene where he will react to meeting a ferocious shark. Now that we have assembled the background environment for this scene we are ready to start the character animation. We reviewed some examples and discussed reasons for being careful not to use the select tool after you start key frame animation of an element or element hierarchy. The scene planning select tool is used to place elements into the scene initially. We saw the use of the scene planning select tool in the assembly of the underwater background environment.

In Part 3 of this series we viewed an Example Scene and began discussing the steps to creating that scene. Before you continue with these next parts of this series.
