Animated Body Parts

So far, I have created an extra two body parts that are both legs that I found on the internet. Using some of the same features that we did in the moving background such as the Motion tween and so on were used to animate the body parts.I brought them together and on the stage on Scene 1, I created a "running" tiger from one side to the other. Here it is below and looks alot more as though he is dancing. Soon I will be able to combine backgrounds and pictures to finish the animation.

Creating the Moving Background Part 1



Although I do not plan to add the moving the backgrounds until I have sorted my animation with the creature as I wish to know how long each particular section is of the animation. I have also found six images which will be good backgrounds as five of them feature each colour from one of the Olympic rings and one to show the Olympic rings in general. I plan to have my creature doing something different in each of the scenes with the different colours There are few examples to the right and left: I am now searching for some appropriate music.

Creating the Body parts

Due to the lack of artistic skills I have, I used pictures off of the internet rather than creating pictures. I did this by using a variety of tools from Macromedia Fireworks including the magic wand, lasso and the eraser tool to be able to create 2 arms and legs and different positions, a body and a head to allow movement at further points in the project. Above are a few of my body parts.:
