Creating the Movie Part 2

Add Grass

• Choose the Selection tool.
• Click the Buildings layer name to make the Buildings layer the active layer.
• Unlock the Building layer by clicking on the lock in that layer.

• It is a good practice to lock any layer you are not working on so at this time I would now lock the sky layer.
• Click anywhere outside the Stage to deselect the buildings.
• Choose the Rectangle tool.
• Click the Stroke color box and choose no color as the stroke color.

• Click the Fill color box and choose bright green as the fill color.
• Draw a rectangle below the buildings for the grass.

Add a Road

• Click the Fill color box and choose bright gray as the fill color.
• Draw a second rectangle below the green rectangle. The second rectangle is a road.

Add a Title Area

• Click the Fill color box and choose purple as the fill color.
• Draw the last rectangle, as shown.

Add Trees

Now you will add two trees to your movie.

Create a Trees Layer

Create a new layer and name it Trees.

• Make sure Buildings is the active layer when you click the new layer icon.. A new layer appears at the top of the Timeline.
• Rename the layer " Trees" by double clicking the layer name and typing Trees.

Get a Tree

Get a tree from the Library.

• Move to the Library. If the Library panel is not open, choose Window > Library from the menu.
• Click the icon next to Tree and drag a tree onto the Stage.

Resize the Tree

• Choose the Free Transform tool.

• Handles appear around the tree.
• Choose the Scale Modifier.
• Drag a corner handle until the tree is the appropriate size.
• Place the tree in front of a building.
• Place another tree on the Stage and repeat the process.
