SOFTWARE & TOOLS: Alice
I don’t know if I’ll be any more successful at this animation program, but it’s certainly a lot more interesting if only because the graphics are a hundred percent nicer than what was available with the Scratch program. When it looks exciting, it excites and inspires.
Enough so, I think, that I’ll overcome my repugnance over using their characters and backgrounds–this feeling comes only from a sense of "cheating" because its not my original work–because they’re so much better than anything I could possibly come up with. Besides, this is only another learning experience and I’m anxious to get the world built and inhabited and, and, and…moving!
As a matter of fact, I’ve already got a simple setting, some objects and a character in place. I added text for a title and I’ll start some simple manipulations in the next couple days.
