My first crappy Flash Animation! 2008-05-14 20:57:04


No AS used. I used Adobe Flash Cs3.

Remember, I am just trying to get the hang of using the application.

That's a good question to ask people so I guess I will.

People!! How did you go from the stage I am at to where you are now, as in making movies and games for Newgrounds?

To add onto what mexifry said, I've come to realize that the main ingredient is willpower.


This is important...and is also now on UGOPlayer! Go vote for it here, too!

Thanks guys! I'll be making animations and submitting them to Newgrounds so everyone can see how I progress with this!

Once you learn the basics then you can start to gather toys such as a wacom tablet and neat plugins, they make everything a ton easier.

but it's good to work hard in the beginning.

Been working on motion tweens / shape tweens!

Here's the results of some samples.

Thanks guys!!

Only problem is, I am very poor at art, but I am working with a book called, "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards, more information on that in my news area.

Someday I'll be better, a lot better!! Hopefully something like chluaid or LeafWorthy.

Again, thanks for the support my fellow newgrounders! It really does help!

practise practise practise. put some time into it it usually makes it alot better. my very first flash animation got a 2.70 and everybodie kept comenting on how good it was for some reason. but only because i put time into it.

5. Use the NG audio portal to your advantage.
Background music is the key to setting a mood to an animation. It can make or break your video.

6. Make a plan for what you want to make.
If you have no plan, it goes nowhere. Make a plan of what you want before you start.

Hope this helps!

5 and 6 helped me a random person :)

just mess around, try things, and if you don't know what to do, google it, or find a tutorial.
You can't count how many things i've learned on flash just by exploring it's options.
