I have been working on my growth/transformation/exploration/realization flash project. I might need a shorter name for it...
I used the method of working frame by frame in order to accomplish the growth of the sprout out of the acorn. This was somewhat tedious and time consuming, but it was the only way to accomplish the look of growth needed for that type of organic shape.
I worked with motion tweening in order to zoom in on the leaf and transform it into a boat.
Also, I learned about how to make a mask with a video or photo today. I first have to make a new layer to import the video on, then i need to make the shape of the mask in the layer with the background, then I control click on the video layer and select "mask". This will be the technique I use to make the ship appear to be floating on water.
