Flash

AHHHHHH! I must admit, I'm struggling a little with Flash animations having now used After Effects. Although, slowly but surely I'm getting the hang of the basics. Taking both the previous character development image as well as a random bird image I have added a few movements to them. I think they turned out well considering I only half an hour on the first animation (below)...

... The second took me a little longer but only for the reason that I painted the bird in Flash as well rather than using an imported image. Not to mention there being more movement in the second animation (below).

More Animations

I can't see my love of animating die any time soon. With each passing week I can do more and more which in turn makes me love animating more and more. After starting the alphabet animation last week I have learnt a few more effects and methods. There are still a few things I need to sort out on the video such as timing for some of the effects I've added although I'll soon get them sorted. For now though, the second installment of my letterform animation.

Character Design

Second term of university for me spells out one thing; Animation. For animations I need characters, content, something to animate so here we have the first image of what will be the main focus of one of my animations later on this year. Quite happy with how the character has turned out, I just need to see how well he can be animated, which will follow soon.
