Once I had decided what was going into each scene, it was time to start to create the scenes in Illustrator. I began creating the background first, then added the different significant objects and lastly I added in the characters in. I needed to make sure that the parts of the scene that I was wanting to animate were in different layers, for example the eyes. This would help me when I came to put the scene in Flash, as the part I wanted to animate would be separate from the main object, therefore would act independently from the the main object.
Next I copied and pasted the whole scene into Flash, which also copied all the layers across too. I began to animate my characters.
My first scene I decided to animate Percy the Pirate. In the story it said that he is jumping on the trampoline, somersaulting, I just had him bouncing up and down. Also it described Pecky the Parrot as hovering above him so I had him flapping his wings. I also wanted to try and have him circling in the air. Below is my first finished scene.
The trees and most of the background I used through out because this was my main and only location that my story was situated around. A few changes though out like, the change in the sky colour as the sun is setting, and different objects and characters introduced were made. But overall this is what my scenes will be based around.
To create this I used different types of animation, scene by scene for example, I found most appropriate for this scene as it allowed me to move my character up and down in a bouncing motion with ease.
