Flash animation on you tube

Flash animation on you tube

This Flash animation, i enjoyed watching and thought it was very cleaver idea and also cleaver on how it was created. The animation has the Flash programme in it, and it shows someone drawing a stickfigure on flash, then the stick figure coming alive and creating havoc and destroying Flash programme.

Here are some shots taken from this small animation :




Flash animation - Burnt Face Man

Burnt Face Man


Here are some screen grabs of the animation burnt face man. I thought this would be a good example of flash animation becouse it is the sort of design i would like to use in my flash animation.


The only movement that is in this part of the animation is the white lines in the background, which indicates that he is flying.


In this part of the animation they have walked two charecters into the screen.


In this clip they have actually used a photo of some womans face in this.

Lord of the Rings Poster

I was learning how to use Photoshop CS2, so as a class we decided to base it on a Lord of the Rings and create a poster.


With 3 differnt images from the movie, i added them onto 3 diffrent layers. I then individually selected each image and using the Eraser Brush with a featherd edge, i removed the edges of the images so i was just left with the charectors.


I then used a textured leather image and pasted this onto it's own layer at the top of the layers pallet, I then sharpened the image twice so the texture was more noticable. We then flattened the image and added

Image

Adjustments
Colour Balance

this gave the slightly yellow colour that linked in with logo.We copied the image and pasted it onto another layer and used the layer blend "Overlay" to heighten the contrast and mood of the colours.We finally added the logo and used the layer blend "Lighten" to erase the black back ground.


This is my finished image of Lord of the Rings.

Flash movie characters

To create my characters for the animation, I sketched them in my pad, and then scanned them onto the computer. Then I opened them in flash Professional, where I then drew onto them. This way is much easier for me, and the image has turned out good, because I found it easier to draw by hand, and then scan the image and then draw onto it through flash, then just drawing the character straight onto flash.

Here is th sketch i have scanned for my animation :



This is the image i have drawn in my sketch pad



This is the image i have drew on Flash, by going over the image i had drawn by hand.

This is my main charector i have drawn for my misheard lyrics piece. The charector is Lady Gaga who is a singer. The reason i have chosen her to be my main charector is, becouse she is the artist who created and sang the song, i have chosen to be my misheard lyrics piece.
