Description MY FIRST FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION EVER MADE!

my intro to Flash Animation final project...... I really got tired of tring to make this look good. I hate it. Completely and honestly, I hate it.
Morten tried helping me put it all together, but the files he sent couldn't be opened on my school's CS5. So I did all of this by myself in a rush, and it shows.

Oh well, at least I met all of the requirements for the final, that's all that matters :>

----
Overall I LOVE animating frame by frame! Really, its so much fun! Sadly, I do not have Flash at all on my laptop, so I won't ever beable to do it again (le sigh).
Any who!!! The bubbles you see are things/people that I like:
-Infinity scarves (durrr)
-corndogs
-Ludo (one of my fave bands)
-Jason Segel (my celeb crush)
-Morten *MNRart
-Morgan ^ditto9
-Pokeball = POKEMON!!!!

Total Time: more than 15hours...to get everything drawn and sized correctly.
Tools Sai/Photoshop for everything drawn & Flash CS5 for the animation and music
MusicAdrian Holovaty- Super Mario Brothers Theme

(I had a ton more people I wanted to include...but I ran out of time and motivation to do so. I hope you all forgive me...)

Woah.. 15 hours. o: That's pretty much xD I really like how animation is so cartoonish and smooth~ c:
But.. Is it just me or sometimes it looks like she's running backwards?

Well, if you wanted to, there are a few free flash animation programs out there. They're probably quite different than you're used to, though.

I don't really know how to use it yet, so I couldn't help you.
*note that I don't have any experience with Adobe Flash, so I can't compare them.

for 15 hours that pretty damn good. I'm at a tech chool here in oklahoma (shocker I know) and one of my projects took 4 weeks at 3 hours every day. and it was only like 5 or so minutes long. of course I took the draw every frame route so i got pissed off alot and took breaks and yelled at my screen in the middle of class lol.

loved the music track for it. just wait till you have to sync up talking with lips you'll find no greater joy than seeing the exact same three mouth movements over and over and over and over again.

Eledora [2012-05-04 03:08:32 +0000 UTC]

15 hours is pretty long indeed, but I guess frame-by-frame animation usually does take that long indeed!
It looks pretty neat for a first attempt already! Running pose is super hard to animate ;w;

I think the newer versions of Photoshop can create animations too? In a frame-by-frame basis :3c

tabby-like-a-cat In reply to Eledora [2012-05-04 03:57:27 +0000 UTC]

ah I hate running poses! I cheated a bit with mine, and it still looked like crud.

yeah I have gif animation on my elements 9. But I would love to have full animation reign in Flash
