Animation in Flash
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
This week, we are working on Flash animations. As a first step, we storyboarded out or animations to help in the planning. I storyboarded something pretty simple - a line of people waiting (either for a bus to change, or for a walk signal). They are all fairly non-descript, though one stands out slightly (clothes? hair?).. they wait and wait, expressionless, the 'special' character looks around cautiously, eyes back and forth, and then begins to dance wildly. No one else notices.. the character stops, the light changes and they all cross (or board). It seems simple, but I know the animation is going to take a long time, and the idea has been tweaked slightly since going over the program in class. It's been years since I've used Flash, and even then I never really used it for animation. The last version I used was v.5, obviously there have been a lot of changes made since then. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
