Describe what software you chose and why you chose it.
I chose to use Inkscape for my animation because I had more experience with it and was comfortable with it. I chose Inkscape over Pencil because I found Pencil a bit difficult to understand. (Detailed explanation of this in previous posts)
Describe the creation process that you followed.
First I created a vector image of my character, a bee. Then I slowly kept exporting frames one by one to create my animation. After I completed that, I opened up Gimp and put together my anination (detailed process in previous posts)
What image format were you saving your work in during the development of your frames?
I saved my first creation of a bee as a svg image. When I exported my images I saved it as a png image. A svg file is one in which an object can be moved around to be exported, whereas a png file is a still image that cannot be moved. When I stopped work for a time and was going to continue later, I saved it as a svg, so that I could edit it.
Difficulties that I encountered.
I encountered a few difficulties during the process of completing my animation. In a couple of places, I got stuck and didn't know what to do. I also asked some of my friends for advice but in the end I figured out a solution to my problem. It was only towards the end that I encountered problems as I wasn't sure how to end it.
Overall I quite enjoyed creating my bee animation as it was something that I had never done before. It was an interesting experience and I will most probably use my skills in the future as I have gained a lot of out of this assessment.
