Need feedback or further advice? Just ask, that's what I'm here for. A word, image or logo that is animated coming together.

Upload your final animation showcasing your ' Picture Perfect' animation abilities in the project gallery.When you play your images back in a reverse sequence you will see how it looks as if your design comes together - it's pretty awesome, and a really neat way of animating.ĭon't forget to share what you create in the project window - I absolutely love seeing all that you create :) When everything is decided you'll get your final frame 'Picture Perfect' and from there you'll deconstruct your design by animating backwards. This could be plasticine, pasta, rice, Lego, coffee - your imagination is the only ceiling on what you choose. Once you have a word, image or logo you will also need to decide on the object or material you are using to create with. This can be something that you have designed yourself or a reference image you have found with a Google search (do make sure you have the appropriate permissions with that though).
