Hey all. This isn't literally the first work I've done in flash, but it's the first presentable piece. 5 or 6 years ago, when I was younger, I think I submitted an animation of a ball bouncing. That was actually my first animation. This one is my second, but still officially call it my first because I don't think a bouncing ball counts.
There's not much to it. The beginning suggests that the animation will try to convey some deep meaning, but really this is just me scewing around. I intend to make more plot-oriented pieces in the future.
As you can probably tell by the extremely scribbly lines, I drew the majority of the frames one-by-one. The rest is those frames being animated in a loop. I know this is the most inneficient way to do flash, but I found it was the easiest way to just pick up and go.
Platform: Adobe Flash CS3
Frames: 1204
Length: 1 min 40 sec
Time spent: approx. 10 hours
Strange yet satisfying...
In my opinion, this is pretty good for a first animation. It's slow at first, but as it progresses it gets more complex. It's weird, but it's different. It's not crappy because it's its own style. Kinda hard to express in words, but I hope you know what I mean.
Also I totally agree. Ninjas FTW.
Finally new talent
This is what flash is all about. A subtle poignant thing you've got going. The music set up the idea and feel of the project. Keep this up and you'll go far. Keep it up. You had the right balance of art and comedy. Brilliant. 10/10 5/5
Wow, thanks. I was hoping for as positive response from the viewers but I never imagined I'd get a 3.4 on my first animation. Hopefully a sign of things to come?
ninjas
thats who.
neway, good job. a little scribbly, but some artists go for that sort of thing
Hell yeah ninjas.
Is this seriously your first flash?
Because honestly this was awesome in a wierd trippy Pink Floyd sorta way.
Yep, all it took was effort. Maybe I should make a pink floyd music video... Kickass, thanks for the idea.
I like it
Very nice job for a first. The music went well with the animation, otherwise, like computergeek said, it would have been boring.
Yeah, I agree. It was boring watching the preview until I added the music.
But again, this was just a test run. I'm gonna get working on new stuff asap.
