I pasted, then edited, code from Animation@About.com for this blog post.

My quiz results tell me that my specialty is Key-Framing and In-Betweening

It says: You're an extremely patient person capable of intense levels of concentration - and it's a good thing, because those traits are necessary if you're going to work on the meat and bones of 2D animation: drawing the keyframes and in-between frames that actually make the animation move. You're fascinated by capturing people, animals, and objects in motion and putting them to paper, and don't mind the amount of time and effort that goes into producing just one second of smooth, clean animation.

I’ll be presenting at DevCon 2009 in June! Both of my proposals were submitted before Thanksgiving so I get all my expense paid. Utah will be my 11th state where I’ve presented. Here's what I'll be doing:

Let Pictures Tell the Story. How to Stage a Scene for E-learning

Make e-learning engaging and effective with image assets artfully arranged. This session will show you how to use Fireworks and PowerPoint to manipulate and assemble images for scene backgrounds and story templates. See examples of original scene designs and learn about the techniques used to create them.

I see what you mean! Visual Design in E-learning

Take instructional design to the next level by adding visual design to your learning products. Find just the right image, use parts of it, or design your own graphics to illustrate and communicate ideas. This session will showcase a gallery of visual e-learning designs and discuss how to create, adapt, and use graphics to enhance meaning and interest for any type of content.
