Question for FLASH users

Donatello · 11-04-2003, 08:23 PM

i'm soon going to begin a flash project(not TMNT related, although there are some references). Is the program hard to learn to animate in it? I'm doing a 20 minute pilot to a series ui'm going to try to sell. Is this an impossible task? Any tips?

Key frames and layers are frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of it its easy.

Oh yes, definately. At first you feel VERY discouraged, but if you just stick to it, everything will turn out fine.

20 minutes, jezums guy, thats ultra ambitious for a flash project!!

I'm a flash fellow, and if you've never used flash before or any animation programs than its going to take you quite a while... but it also depends on what kind of stuff you're going to be animating...

My most aggravating part of animation is the sound, I think I used 100+ sound effects for episode 5 of Taojam....

I've been learning flash as I make new stuff... but if you're going to devote almost all your time to this than you have a better chance.

see, i'm gonna record the voices and stuff soon, then animation. It's a sitcom, so there's no fight scenes, if that's what you mean. It's 20 minuts of mostly conversational humor. I don't mingd if it looks a little ameturerish, it's just a pilot so i can try to sell the damn thing
