always clutter dead scenes like that. slowly moving clouds, birds, tumbleweed. makes it feel "complete"

also your rock should be there the entire time

It's a surprise rock, the biker is soo pro that he can't ever fall, but ninja rock never failed before.
And I will add clouds, and maye sounds or atleast backround music, just need to find it lol

seems legit

i think Zee is putting in a main song so don't use a BG music. just small or important sounds

oh jeez i completely forgot one thing. open the character window, click Embed, then say "All"

this was a bug flash had with bold fonts and it got worse from there.

can't believe i forgot >_>

I tried that and still no results, anything else i could try?

You have to break it apart twice so that it's no longer text.

this isn't really a good practice though. he can do it here if it gets it to work, but i wouldn't make a habit of it. also wouldn't explain WHY it's not showing up.

Have the same one. It has a huge hot spot on the left side that could burn.

you got a T4220? i have 2 small shadow spots on the screen but that's all. what do you mean by hot spot?

and i'm hoping to get a Q series Fujitsu soon

Yes I got a 4220 but its a Intel Core Duo 2. The hot spot is where the fan is placed. The air blowing out does get really hot. I do wish to get a Cintiq with a powerful desktop but with that money its better for me get a laptop because I move around a lot. I'll get another Fujitsu and although its pricey, it great to draw on and its reliable.

oh true that fan port pumps out some heat.

i almost went with the Fujitsu Stylistic but i knew i'd hate myself with no keyboard.
and i'll most likely never get a cintiq, for the price of one, i can get the newest Q series Fujitsu or lenovo ideapad, and have the same feature i'm after, but not be tied down to a desktop. and the digitizers on lenovo and fujitsu are made by wacom so you can't really complain.

@potato: i used to have the Logitech IO pen. precursor to inkling. it was novel but not very practical

I do have to say though, those bolts are pretty fluid which makes them appealing to watch.

agreed! they're not like that cool reference video but they are pretty to look at

just mucking about:

randomness

very very stylish. i like that a lot.

yeah 13 my the only one i made "lightning" like. the rest are just vague interpretations of electricity, or a stylized twist on lightning.

First of all,i have to say that i want to take my animations to youtube,thinking about that, wich size i have to take? .I make my flash with 550x400,can be that correct?.

Next i have a question about the export thing.What I have to put in the setting to have a high quality (or just decent) on my animation?.Its 550x400 enough?Or i failed like a boss?

Thanks.

haha failed like a boss.

flash is vector. completely scale-able. so 550x400 is fine. and you can export in higher Q for youtube. just remember to use 4:3 or 16:9 number. like 1024x768 or 1920x1080

I'm working on Flash 8 btw ( Yes i know, flash 8)

Thanks for reading!

HDRevill

hey flash 8 was the best version. click on the text and make sure it's a static text box

collaberation section

the bird would be considered "clutter" and it helps a lot.

always clutter dead scenes like that. slowly moving clouds, birds, tumbleweed. makes it feel "complete"

also your rock should be there the entire time

you can download one from newgrounds here, or find many MANY detailed tutorials on the goog's

no you're missing what foreshortening is. it's whenan arm/leg/etc is coming towards the camera/focal point, so its shortened in perspective.

another thing is that you aren't moving the upper arm, so the forearm is moving unnaturally to positions that the entire arm would move to

hey buddy, i'm not gonna get totally into it in a post but i can tell you that what you're lookinf for is "foreshortening"

good luck with your movie and i hope you find plenty of people to help you out!

thanks for the feedback can you tell me which part looks shaky.

The pieces of earth moving outward particularly. The walk cycle could have been better as well

Im interested in transferring to a school where i can study an animation major but as of right now im way too nervous to go ahead and take the plunge. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences and advice.

you'll be majoring in a choked market. i'm always the first to say follow your passion, but in this economy jobs in animation are few and far between.

i major'd in fine arts and multimedia design, with a minor in applied science. this gave a broader scope than majoring in animation specifically

What do you guys think about my latest animation? :3
And one question: What is best program to make animations?
I make dem pictures in Photoshop and put them to AE6, and that takes alot time :s

not bad for what you're doing!

you want to get either flash or toon boom to speed up your animating process

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1288395

the entire animation feels too slow. like same scene for too long. same poses held too long.

you can rectify by shortening scenes/poses or add more poses and camera angles

it's like in a movie when a close-up lasts way too long and you just want to see something else
