Animation- Earth Part 1 of the proccess of the animation

This is how much of my animation i have done so far. I have decided that i would zoom on the earth and then i would zoom it into australian and then to a street where i would colour everything orange.

In this video there is 13 earth pictures to create a 3 secound video. This took my about 3 minutes to do. I think i am becoming faster at making the animation. i cant wait to see the completed animation.

This animation took alot of work to actually start because i had to create the world and then edit the page layout and then export it. At one point of the animation i check to see how it was going and realized i didnt select page when exporting so i had to start again.

One of the things that i want to improve on this animation is that i want to be able to spin the earth while zooming in. I believe that if i could do that it would create a bigger effect and it would enable me to do less slide when exporting the image

Inkscape- Cartoon Characters

I guess i have to find something that is not that hard to trace and edit.

Today i continued my research on what to do for my animation. I am still unsure on what to do, but i have been looking up orange cartoon characters. I found garfield and the evil orange character. I decided to try and trace a picture of garfield on inkscape and then edit the curves, but i had alot of trouble with doing the curves they just wouldnt come up that neat and they looked rushed and ugly.
