Exporting your animation as a video file demonstration.
Remember to save multiple versions of your walk cycle so you don't lose your work. Today you should save your walk cycle as walk_cycle_9-26
Alien Song - I will survive! - this animation landed the author a job at Pixar.
How to save and upload your Alice Video file.

What
Lesson 5 - Using Control Statements and Function
•Define multiple control statements to control animation timing
• Create an animation that uses a control statement to control animation timing
• Recognize programming constructs to invoke simultaneous movement
• Use functions to control movement based on a return value
• Create programming comments
Why
Certain movements require coordination, such as walking, sitting, or riding in a vehicle. Coordination may be required for an object's body parts to move in sync, or for two objects to move relative to each other.
Control statements and functions will help you better coordinate the movements of objects, as well as make their movements more precise.
How
By completing the slides, quiz and practice exercises.
