My first ever animations!

I downloaded Macromedia Flash MX early this morning and have spent the day playing around with it.

A days work has produced my first ever animations in Flash.

I drew everything, and recorded everything, and the picture in the Scary movie is of me...but it's a very old picture.

Anywho, here the both are, in all their animated glory.

Any constructive criticism will be welcomed with open arms.

I've never tried to work with flash, is it really hard?

Not particularly.

The program comes with mini tutorials and such, after that it's just a case of checking back every so often to see if you're doing it right.

And if ever you get stuck there's loads of tutorials and what not online.

lol the second one is hilarious

those were great lenny- do something real amazing and post it

Do something amazing, eh?

I've got the computer to myself all day tomorrow, so I should be able to churn something out.

Though what to do, that's the problem.

Everyone post some ideas, I'll see what I can do...

Nice.

I used to screw around in flash alot, never got any real movies finished though. I was mainly interested in frame by frame animation and just drawing everything by hand. I think I've still got some lame stick figure movement tests somewhere on my pc.

I remember making Chrono Trigger flash by using some video-capturing program. Those things were huge.

u used your fancy pentuim to do it tho, i had an amd at the time or i wouldve done it first you loser

The only Pentium I had was a 100 mhz original, and I didn't do it on that.

liar, you showed me your chrono videos and said you did it with some software that came with your pentuim

You're completely off base here. At best I can recall there being a program that was Intel software, but I didn't even use that because it required a Pentium.

Is that your voice I presume?

It is indeed.

Bad quality though. I need a microphone better than my Eye-Toy, and a good program to record it on.

----------

I'll try do some kind of Zelaron series. Each episode is about a different member.

For example the first episode could be "Zelaron: Meet the Crew", another could be "Mantralord: Stormslayer", "Dragoon Elite: Halo Fanatics", "Lenny: Illegal Alien".

I'm gonna try and dig out my old tablet as well today. Draw things left-handed with a pen rather than right-handed with a mouse.

Hell yea, do a Dragoon Elite one, theyd love you for it. Not that they dont already love you, but you know.

(They don't already love you)

You say 'they' but you fail to realize, you are one of them Grav.

What tablet do you have?

I haven't a clue. It's been hidden away for a few years. I just hope I can still find it.

As for the Dragoon Elites, oh I've got a great thing for you guys. Heh heh heh...


The only problem that will arise is that everyone will sound like, well, me.

So no atter whether you're American, Canadian, Dutch, Swedish or anything else, you'll have an English accent...

Heh, I just found some tests I did a while back when I got my new wacom tablet (all frame by frame, no tweening). I just like to do small stuff, like single movements and things like that, I dont really have the patience or interest in making bigger movies.

I have got more stuff backed up on a CD. But after seeing the huge pile of unmarked CD's I'd have to go trough to find them, I dont really care about them.
