Vector Line Art Tutorial in Flash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rrjmNtOQDY

This tutorial taught me how to construct an image in flash, an extremely handy skill to learn as later on instead of importing sketches into illustrator to draw and then transport to flash, I would just draw directly into flash, sketching my way up on different layers like I would sketching on to of a lightbox. This tutorial taught me how to lock layers, which tools to use, how to change the colour.

Hand-Drawn Animation in Adobe Flash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQjOynnr7AI


This tutorial helped me understand how to use flash to create a more traditional approach to animation. It pushed me into drawing straight into flash which really quickened up the animation process. It also taught me about 'key frames' the key movements of a movement and 'inbetweens' which is frame which help the key frames flow. To stop it being jumpy. When using a pressure sensitive tablet you can enable 'use pressure' and 'use tilt' which really helps the image look like has been drawn. You can changing the 'smoothing' of the line which can either make it look really vectorized or really hand drawn.

How To Animate - Walk Cycle (Tweened)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdhuDGOyAXc

This tutorial I wanted to watch to understand about 'tweening' which in flash means that flash can help you move you animation without hand drawing every frame, but you need to learn how to code and I found it a little complicated and I really wanted to keep my animation looking traditional. Tweening would require a lot of work but would end up making your animation look very smooth. But I don't think I would want that, I quite like the look of hand drawn.

Adobe Flash CC: Basic Actions and Code Snippets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxQKUayab2M

I really wanted to look into coding, I've done abit of coding before which really helped me understand what they were talking about! But I still felt abit unsure about coding and needed to decide whether I wanted to dive into coding, or to step back and focus my energy on something else. This tutorial was basic coding for a website.

Animating a Head Turning - Adobe Flash CC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7JKpUJv1xo

I felt like instead of diving into coding I wanted to rewind back and practice animating, making movement better, learning to convert what we see in real life into basic lines, and how we move. I did alot of people watch, seeing how they moved conveyed their character. Extremely interesting!
