Today was the last of my 2D animation classes for the semester. After I critiqued them I asked and I got some much needed feedback from my students about what to do better next time I teach "the Flash class." Thank you all. I plan to get more deeply into the ones verses twos thing on timing choices right up front next time. I'll make some quick how-to videos and certainly spend more time on the details of the tools demonstration right up front.
When it was all over and we were saying our so-longs for the season and year, one of my students also pointed out a few good websites and blogs to share. Here is one of those that is particularly Flash related; it is animator David Besiner's blog: http://davidbesnier.blogspot.com/
I have only given David's blog the cursory look-through at this point, but I hear he has some good Flash tutorials on his site and in this blog, like this one on vimeo: http://vimeo.com/73047035. Thank you to Ha for directing me to this animator's work.
Another student has asked repeatedly for me to post some of my work. You know, the on-paper kind. So, Vessy, I promise, during the break I will take the time to post some of this work too. I'll have to scan it in and put it into Flash, so I may do my first demo about converting pencil lines to vectors for importing on-paper 2D into Flash. (Actually, I may get to a different quickie lesson before this, since I already started it.) So, be on the lookout for those tips and tricks and quick-lessons and such starting in January. In the meantime Happy Holidays to all of you.
