Pretty cool.
Nice tutorial on making special effects. I'll watch some of your others one day.
Reviews for "Animation Tutorial 4 FX"
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.

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.
Good job
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?
kind of okay
it is kind of okay cause it looks nice and stuf. but you are taken to big steps thats why its hard to do the same as told in your tutorial. it would be much easyer if you told us how to do things like witch penal or witch button. but that doesn't fit your styl thats why i dont realy mind
so ... GOOD WORK:)
Cool, I could just wish for more
That was fair. Nicely done animations. It simply gives the viewer an idea on how to make such effects. The sparky thing just did not really go well for me, I think there was lacking, I don't know if it's with the gravity or alpha effects. there was just something lacking.
Music was okay, though it could have been better. Sounds were lacking. It would have been better if there were sounds for the explosions and lightnings, etc.
Nicely done though. Cool! Helpful...
