What software I used and My Creation Process

What Software I used
The Software I used was called INKSCAPE. Inkscape is a vector graphicseditor application. It is distributed under a free software license, the GNU GPL. Its stated goal is to become a powerful graphics tool while implementing full support for the Scalable Vector Graphics standard.
Creation Process
It all started when Sir gave us this task and showed us how to make a simple animation by using the example of a bouncing ball. Afterwards sir explained the task, which was on word, it looked like this:

The task read that you need to make a animation on your house(mine is coolock), it should at least go for 5 seconds or more. There other stuff written on it. But not looking at the sheet in lots of detail. I started with thinking and making a mind map that like looked like this:

From that mind map, I went on google images a put in the search bar "Green Things" and I found so many good mascots that are green, The one that attract my attention first was a green M&M which you can see from the previous posts, thinking that I will use this, I opened up inkscape and copy and pasted the picture of the M&M and I started to think how i was going to trace over this, due to the difficult lines and curves, there were fantastic tools like bezier tool and the Nodes tool. But i thought that i will leave it on the side and think of some other ideas, so I went back to the site where I saw the Green M&M, and look what found!? A green Cartoon Character called Mike Wazowski from Monster's Inc.
So after all of this was finalized I started the process, firstly I traced Mike and coloured him and it looked like this:
Afterwards I made Him dance and added lots of effects, including clovers, and M&Ms Holding signs at the end. Also I topped it off with using moviemaker, to put my video together!
