Frame+by+frame

=Frame by Frame animation=

The timeline divides your document into Frames. Frames represent different positions in time for your animation. A **keyframe** specifies a change in artwork - black dot. A **blank keyframe** is a frame with no artwork in it - white background. A **blank frame** indicates no change in artwork, but also no artwork. Also white background.
 * Regular frames** indicate no change in artwork since the last keyframe - grey background.

 * Simple frame by frame animation**

Use the file below as a starting point.

Create a series of keyframes and change the position of each body part (shown below) to simulate someone walking




 * Further practice**

Using the same principles, animate the cyclist below. Firstly concentrate on the pedals, then each of the legs, finally the hair. The video will help get you started.
