Pivot Free Runner


In my computer class we learned about what parkour is and how to use a program called Pivot Animator to create a pivot animation. Parkour is the activity of moving rapidly through an area, trying to get through various obstacles. An obstacle I had during this project was trying to make the animation look realistic. I had to erase some of my work various times to make it better and I believe that I did accomplish the requirements. After I finished my animation, I realized that it takes patience and a lot of time to create animations that have a lot of movement.

History of Animation


This week in my web design class we learned about the history of animation. My teacher showed the class a few of the first animations that people created such as Phenakistoscope. I learned that animation as been around for more than 4,000 years. In early animation there was no sound and was only in black and white. One thing that I learned about animation is that the first animation created by Disney was Steamboat Willie.
