Hunter - Animation Progress


Things that are going well:
              •Using Flash how I need to use it.
              •Making scenes however I need them to be.
              •Glitchy or weird occurrences are at an all time low.
              •Using tweens effectively.
Things I'm struggling with:
              •Coming up with ideas that I can put into my animation.
              •Creating smooth animations, with separate drawing per frame.
              •Using frame-by-frame animations effectively.

I manage my time by spending some time thinking about ways to continue, trying it out and seeing if it works. Usually does work but some times it takes a few tries to satisfy myself in how the the scene or part ended up looking like. I also keep some noise going in the background that either helps me concentrate or is too distracting so I just turn it off.

One problem I encounter regularly is when the entire scene decides to erase itself because I double-clicked the eraser. I know now that a quick command+Z undoes it, so it only gives me a miniature heart-attack now when it happens.

For this work-in-progress grade, I think I should get a 85% because I have been working hard on this and it is an okay animation for a first time 2D animation. I still have a few more seconds to finish and some things earlier on that I would like to change so they look nicer but I should only need about 2-3 more class periods to finish this thing.
