"horrible tutorial"
date: July 27, 2006
this is absolutely terrible as a tutorial, but not bad as a flash. your graphics were good, and the music was even better (you can't go wrong with devo), but tutorials shouldn't be about one specific aspect, like this one was. you just said to draw this, draw that, blur this, blur that. shouldn't you have said more about perspective, reflections, contrast (so the things you want your audience to focus on stand out more than the background), and all that good stuff? this was no tutorial; it's more of a guide to drawing a specific background. and seeing as most of it is taken up my water and mountains, what could you do with that background anyway?
tutorials are supposed to be open-ended subjects when it deals with art and animation. in other words, this tutorial for animation is what copy-and-paste tutorials for actionscript are.

I agree with all that you said- and was flattered by some of:# :P. I thank you for taking the time to review my tutorial!
