Animation with Flash Report 06

Animation with Flash Report, Entry 06 - Putting it all together

I'm more or less halfway through animating the assignment as of today. Unfortunately, I'm a little behind schedule due to 2 major issues; a personal and a business issue. The first being my 1 year old kid fell from a chair and dislocated her arm joint and we had to wait at the hospital almost the whole day on Monday....*grumbles*. The latter being my client wanting some changes done to her company's website this week (since they're scheduled to launch the homepage next week --- www.firstbitumen.com) so I had to squeeze in the webdeveloping hours along with my assignment hours. Luckily for me though, I actually managed to study while working since I made some Flash stuff for the website.

My Flash CS4 trial will run out this Sunday so I better be done with the assignment by then. I'm a little stressed out but it's all good fun! Nothing is more fun than animating! (well, ok, gaming maybe....and shopping. Hehe.) Animating is a lot of work! But it's very rewarding too. I feel so proud when I see the stuff I draw come to life no matter how crappy they are.

I'm not sure if my animating methods in Flash are the smartest/simplest/productive ways but I have so few time to experiment with other methods now and it's probably best for me (time-wise) to just stick with what I am confident with (motion tween and classic frame-by-frame animation) for this round.

I'll be visitng Flash over and over again, (I have the old MX version though) so I'm very sure I'll learn a few tricks later :)

My break is almost over, now back to animating!
