2nd try - animate the girl move from left ---> right

As i watched tutorials and tried to figure it out, it came out nothing. In the end, i asked Mr.Mozamir. He gives me some tips to increase my loading speed by download the edgeCommon.js and save in the same folder with my An file. It works after!

However, my placement of each object still not looked proper... So far, video below is how my trial looked like.




Finally, red ball is moving as i scroll down the page. The truth is we have to set the frame at the very beginning as my "stop" code is in the beginning.

STORYBOARD AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT SKETCH

I don't know whether this one is considered as my rough or final sketch because i will be focus on my art in digital software later. I hope i could draw it well.

Hereby pictures below is about my sketch and has not been applied in digital form. I am still doing prototype to make sure my sketch is compatible.

First is sketch for character which is divided into a girl and fairy.





Below is storyboard. Page 2 will be compiled into 1 page as it only animate the girl. Overall is 9 pages. Hopefully, i could finish my first 5 pages clearly.







I will start the digital art once my prototype done.

1ST TRY ...

Finally! after watched lots of parallax scrolling tutorial and tried it out, i got these 2 videos which is really help me to do my "first page"...






ANDDDDD, this is my first outcome for page 1.. whose design still rough and mess up but i do not believe i could make it because i found some problems before... >.<






What i will do next is to show background of the city with the girl.. Will be updated soon.

1. Simple Understanding of animation with Parallax Scrolling

So far, i found some website which is "hopefully" useful for me because i have not tried yet. Will update it soon! 

First is how to animate the object from left to right using coding. The object will be moved once we scroll down the page. It is shown by the link below. 




Then, it is followed by tutorial in converting the object into symbol and animate it inside. By doing so, center pivot needs to be arranged properly. 



Another story remake ---> "I MISS YOU"

Once we presented our ideas, we are not allowed to change it. However, as i tried to sketch my previous ideas, i felt really boring and does not follow what i want. I have not finished my sketch. Then, another ideas came and gives more spirit to sketch my new ideas.


Method : Parallax scrolling "vertical"

Software used : Adobe Edge Animate CC & Adobe Illustrator (PNG or SVG file), Adobe Photoshop (if necessary)

Title : I MISS YOU

Moral :

1. Always love our parents and respect them before it is too late to regret for.
2. Learning from our experience and failure help us to be a better person in the future.


SYNOPSIS :

There is a small family whose husband's job is a fisherman and lives near the seashore. Finally, his wife got pregnant and gave birth to their first child named "Picco". He is a spiritful kids and always play with his friends. He abandoned what his father always advise him to study. Until one day, his father has to sail away to another island and depart in the morning. Before his leaving, he gives Picco a glass bottle that he found when sailing through the sea. Picco always waits him to come back. Nonetheless, that was the last moment they were together, his father never come back... He kept waiting until he graduated and looking at the sea without his father appearance.

He is only able to regret of what he has done in his past life with ignoring every single words his father told him. Because of him, Picco is an undergraduate person now and he wants to show him that he can be a person like his father wants him to be.

However, it is too late to be regret. Then, he let his father's gift carried by the wave with his graduation photo inside and piece of letter which reads "Don't you want to see me now, dad?", the glass bottle follows the wave and goes further...
