Description this is what i have so far its about 102 frames i still have to ink my other ones.. my plans are to at least have 15-20 secs of animation by the end of the week.. lets see how that works as long as im not at my own computer i shouldnt have a problem.. but i need some suggestions on what i should do to get to a close up cut of him think.. where i wanna put is right before he nodds his head.... before he starts to jump i think it would make more sense if he had a big thought bubble of what he was thinking

It looks awesome, a little jumpy because of the lines but really nice animation. A suggestion for the thinking part, maybe zoom + pan his head to the lower righthand corner and have the thought bubble consume most of the remaining area.

cube has the right idea on making it into an animated symbol. by doing that, you won't have to worry about making multiple frames to animate. that's what i should have done, but it's too late for me to do that. if you want to make the animation a little longer, what you could do is draw a few more frames of him dancing in the skirt and then kinda cut to a different scene with him dancing on top of the stage. basically, just repeat that dance as a different scene. it's up to you though.

quick question, you can color on another layer of flash but will it all go together if when you make it into an animated symbol, cuz i dont like the fact that im covering up my lines when i paint

you shouldn't be covering your lines when you paint if you didn't erase the bitmaps inside the actual image. i'm not too sure if you can do color on one layer and flatten the 2 layers on top of each other like that. i think you might just end up turning both of them into symbols that act independently on their own. it'll be a pain to move both the painted layer and the line layer if they can't be flattened.

i know it's too late to answer to this reply, but better now than never. i wish i could answer that question though because i have NO animated symbols in my flash file either. i don't think or know if he showed us how to do that. my flash file is a mess, with a million layers is seems. i'm glad that's out of the way now.

did he show you guys that animation that someone did of him?? haha, it was pretty funny.

i was thinkin last night and iwas going through some of poses i had of him and my other small animations i have done and anthony (the guy i had a date with) anyways thought one of the poses was really cute.. so i might have him sleeping for a while and he wakes up and sits up and theres this hula doll next to him. that should give me about 3 secs if i draw everything correctly... a close up of him thinking with alittle thought bubble and stuff.. then i have all the tweens i noticed i needed so i should have more secs there.. thank god... i have about 11 more frames with him dancing i still think im gonna have him dance some more.. im drawing up a new storyboard so i can see where this is going... i was talking to patrick and he was kinda disappointed that i didnt do an animatic for it.. they say they think you can pull 30 with 150 frames if you have the timing right and stuff... i dont even think i looks good when i put more keyframes and stuff in there.. it looks really rough and unnatural.. i guess thats what i get for be so anal about my animations... plus the fact i refuse to get a b in an animation class

i think if you add in those extra frames that you indicated, it'll go alright. just don't overwork yourself with too much on the details. that just kills you on time. haha, i know you want that A, but don't over do it. i'd like to see the final version when you're done.

You could make this whole thing into one large animated symbol, and zoom in and out for simple "camera" like movements in flash. I think its cute, some color would be neat but i think its looking quite well!
