Adding Text and Titles to your Animation

You need a title and credit(s) for your animation to finish it off.

Start a new scene so that you don't have to move your whole animation along to fit your title in the beginning and rename it scene 1, your main animation scene 2, and the final credits in scene 3.

Here is a Tutorial for a text effect in Flash- Glint Text Effect

Animation Feedback/Reflections

1. Create a  new Word Document, save it with "Your Name_ Animation Comments" 
2. Do not write anything in the document.
3. Close the Word Document
4. View an animation in the "Flash Background Project" folder.
5. Give constructive feedback in the Word document titled with their Name.
6. Save & close.
7. View another and repeat step 4-6 until you have viewed them all.

Make sure you finish your own animation self evaluation and reflection.
