For this project, I chose to animate a frog on a lily pad, eating a fly when it comes down from the top. This left me with space in the middle of the wheel under the lily pads. I decided to make use of this space by animating a fish swimming in a circle underneath the frog. Throughout this project, I got better at creating short looped animations. I had a lot of trouble animating the fish, as it was confusing trying to animate something moving around the wheel (rather than moving in place). I eventually realized if you treat each section of the wheel as a frame, the fish could move across the frames and still loop nicely. Though it was a bit confusing at times, I had a lot of fun with this project!
