Extremely Helpful and Easy to Understand

I'm a beginner to Flash, and of all the tutorials I've seen, this is one of the most helpful. The step by step procedures were easy to follow, and the presentation was well delivered. All in all I give it a big, fat 5/5.

Helbereth responds:

Thanks, I did try to make it as comprehensible as possible. The presentation actually came last... Origiinally all the tuts had the same bland, pale green background. But I thought I should include some things that you could create with some of the knowledge being imparted... so I made better backgrounds, made the airplane, created the rather complex credits (timed to music and everything), scripted a few events into the tuts...

I actually used a bunch of skills that are not explained in this. I did a fair amount of fbf with the shadowy leaping guy and the explosion is all fbf (except the smoke after the explosion... that's a masked shape tween).

When i get around to making the Bigger Fatter Tutorial (planned for January 2006), I'll go into that stuff more, delve into scripted camera techniques, probably create some fully formed characters made for tweening... all that stuff.

Anyway, I'm babbling. Thanks for the review!

Very informative

The title does it justice. It's big, it's fat, and it's a tutorial. Good job.

Helbereth responds:

I named it that when it started getting out of hand.

I originally started with just 3 tutorials, but then I added 3 more... then all the peripheral stuff and it just kept building and.... well let's just say I had to release it so I could get my life back...

Thanks for the review!

Helpful

I may have not have gotten my flash 2004 yet, but this sure will come in handy when I start as a Flash Artist.

Helbereth responds:

Well I hope it does. Remember if you're a student you can get MX 2004 for $100 (rather than $500). You can't make money with it as a student, but oh well.
