Hey man!
Like all the other tutorials, this one kicks ass too! I am a n00b at flash, and I´m confident that I will learn lots from U! Thanx a 1000 for that!
And well, yea, seriously, I don´t understand y u acctually used that song I made in all four tutorials, even though I´m glad u did :D

Like some other reviewer mentioned, a music selection could be a good idea, if u decide to make more tutorials. Maybe aim at loops, intstead of whole songs..?...
Anyway, just feel free to check out my music if there´s anything u wanna use. I got lots of old stuff I just polish and fix up a little, so I submit new material quite often. U know it´s there :D

And good luck to you with Short Bus, it totally looks promising! I´ll leave u a fat review when you submits it! :D

Peace!

"Great!"

Great "cartoony" style. Great tutorials, especially the smoke, fire and explosions. Good, in-depth tutorials are quite hard to come-by, but i think yours is excellent! Keep up the good work!

"Good job"

date: December 15, 2004

In my opinion these are the best tutorials on newgrounds. Tutorials are a very important part of newgrounds as this is an excellent place for new flashers to learn the "tricks of the trade" . Sadly most tutorials are created by people who arent really good at flash themselves. You've changed that. Keep up the good work. What can I expect next?

"Excellent."

Thankyou for making this. It's most definitely going on my favourites list and you're getting a place on my favourites list as well. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of the same from you.

Having said that, I'd love to see a tutorial of something perhaps slightly more newbie orientated, since this is still perhaps a little too advanced for some people.

Author's Response:

Thanks... Though it will be a while before I make another tutorial it looks like... got to pound out Short Bus after all... if you want to see the characters from Short Bus look at my Short Bus Teaser... I'm still whacking away at the toon... it's a pretty big one.

As far as the newbie oriented stuff... I'm not going to make a tutorial about puting sound in or anything... Sorry... check out flashkit.com for tutorials on things like that... they are much better in HTML format. Well... I guess I better not say never I might change my mind...

I'm really aiming at the person who knows a little about flash but is confused artisticly what to do in a cartoon. I'm not really making these as a "HOW TO USE FLASH" tutorial... I'm making them as "HoW TO ANIMATE CARTOONS IN FLASH" tutorials... I'm planting the seed and showing people how easy it can be to make quality work. I'm also thinking about doing something other than a tutorial to help people out but that is still a long way off. Anyway... I appriciate the thought and as you can tell my tutorials are only getting better... oh... and by the way... frame by frame animation is on the list of tutorials I'm planning in the future. but I have to make a few frame by frame animations first to knock out all the bugs in flash.

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW!
Jack.

"meh"

its not that great, if someone needed to know how to make lightning they probobally wouldnt know how to make characters or anything important in a flash. so what you did was worthless to everyone, unless someone wanted to make a flash about vicious scenery. it was good but it wont help the people that are allready making flashes and it wont help the noobies like you wanted. noobies at flash want to know how to make people or creatures so they can have a "star" to their flash they dont want to know how to make water ripple.

Author's Response:

Ummm you didn't notice this is animation tutorial 4??? check the other tutorials... open mouth insert foot... chew well...

"Nice effort..."

... but you have a long way to go before you can teach people particle animation effectively. You're fire and smoke were pretty sophmoric. Try building up your frame by frame skills. I recommend researching other artists' renderings of water/fire animation, such as Bitey of Brackenwood.

Author's Response:

Yep... I have to admit it's not the best looking smoke on the planet. But it is alot better than some people can do.

and yes when I work on animations with special effects I don't make my fire like this but it does look like fire and is great for small file sizes.

I'm not saying I'm great at anything... I'm just saying this is a convinicing way to make fire.. smoke... or other effects. This tutorial is for people who wonder how they can make good effects with the least amount of drawing possible, and I think they work pretty well... but yes not perfect.

Thanks for the review.

i tried doing the smoke animation
i made 4 different symbols, but i dont know how to put them together! i want them to play one after another, is the only way to do that to make the animatioin by itself then select all frames and make that into a symbol?

Author's Response:

Um... instant message me with any questions about that... I'll try to help you out if I can... really don't understand what you are asking... or you can email me if i'm not online...
