helping in animation

[rikla]

Hello,

I am very NON experimented but I have tried to do some drawings in Photoshop that I want now use to illustrate very short stories I have written for my little grand daughters. I want to make an animation with my drawings and stories.

All what I read and tried about animation is too much complicated for me. It is almost exausting me.

Are there experienced persons to help and assist me with a step by step very easy tutorial? Might be in english or in french.

A lot of thanks in advance,

Rikla

If you have ImageReady (a program that comes with later versions of PhotoShop) it will be fairly simple. Basically you need your start image and your finish image and you use the TWEEN command to fill in the images in between. You could also have a couple of images at various stages and use the tween command to fill in between each stage. There are several tutorials out on the web. Just do a google search for Imageready animation.

Here are a couple I found:
Creating Animations
Simple Tweening
Tween Tutorial
Kissing Fish Animation

Careful with the last tutorial linked above, the site tries to download spyware onto you.

That's not good...I deleted the suspect link although my firewalls/virus programs didn't notify me of any spyware and I check my computer for spyware and nothing downloaded. So all the above links should now be okay.

Thanks for both replies and for the warning.I am working on my animation
and hope to succeed.

Anyway, I am on mac, and I doubt if spywares work on mac.

Kindly, Rikla
