Synopsis
Part Animation Guide, Part Flash Manual, The Art Of Flash Animation: Creative Cartooning Provides A Practical Primer On Classic, Hand-Drawn 2D Screen Animation As Well As An Introduction To Using Flash For Creating Your Own Cartoons. Section I Discusses The Terms And Techniques Of Hand-Drawn Animation, Character Design, And Storyboards, While Section II Covers Scanning, Digitizing Your Artwork Into Flash, And Setting Up Scenes. Topics Include How To Animate A Walk Cycle; Recording And Editing Dialogue, Sound Effects, And Music; How To Use Recyclable Symbols To Make The Animation Process More Efficient; Preparing Your Work For Video Or Web Download., Part animation guide, part Flash manual, The Art of Flash Animation: Creative Cartooning provides a practical primer on classic, hand-drawn 2D screen animation as well as an introduction to using Flash for creating your own cartoons. Section I discusses the terms and techniques of hand-drawn animation, character design, and storyboards, while Section II covers scanning, digitizing your artwork into Flash, and setting up scenes., There are a number of manuals available on Flash, but too many of them get bogged down in details about ActionScript or interactivity. Frustrated with wading through such information in other Flash manuals, author/illustrator Mark Stephen Smith set out to make the book he wished he had when he started learning Flash. This book is both a practical primer in the fundamentals of classical, hand-drawn 2D screen animation and a basic introduction to Flash's expert handling of recyclable symbols that make independent, web, and television animation both more affordable and more efficient. It is conveniently divided into two parts. Part I is for those who are new to the terms and techniques of hand-drawn animation, character design, and storyboards. Part II covers scanning and digitizing artwork into Flash, as well as setting up scenes and symbols.
