Adobe Animate stick man

Image result for adobe stickman walkFor our first project using Animate we where tasked wih creating a stick man walking on a road giving the effect of continuous walking not walking on the spot.

First we had to create the body of the stickman and give him bones using the bone tool this was done so we could freely move each limb to make it easier to animate after constructing the body we began animating which once done I came across the problem of him jumping each time it looped to solve this i simply had to correct some placements making the start the same as the end to stop the bounce each time it looped.

lastly was adding in the ground which was overall simple we just had to get the shape tool create a long rectangle for the ground and add mounds or lumps onto ground using the circle shape the next problem arrised when i hand to make the ground move alongside the stickman to give the effect of continuous movement again this time around the ground would jump each time the loop reset and i couldnt simply make the start the same as the end as it didnt quite work to correct this took a bit of problem solving especially because of the unfamilliarity with the software but manged to solve it after all it was the very suttle things that caused the jump.

first off I had to make each mound the same size so it wouldnt suddenly bounce between sizes during the loop to do this i just deleted each one leaving one singular mound then copied and pasted that same one instead to make sure each one was the same size i then revieved the animation once again but there was still an issue this was harder to notice in the loop but to make it completly smooth the difference of space between the mounds had to be exactly the same even the slightest of difference made it look off
overall i enjoyed the challenge as i view myself as an improviser it may not be perfect but i was happy with the result.
