first go at flash animation

flash animation test -skater from shredFest on Vimeo.

This is my first attempt at animation in flash. 
It’s all drawn frame by frame drawn at 25 fps. It is from reference, but isn’t rotoscoped. I then warped it in shake, adding a simulated camera move in 2d, as if a video person was following the action.

Its a little short and sweet, because its incomplete. The computer I was doing it on died with the flash project on it. Fortunately i had emailed a work in progress quicktime of it to my friend John -who did the accompanying sound. He then emailed me back this -which is all i have left of the project!

Next time i may just do 12 fps! Less frames to draw…

Also, here are some drawings I did of some skaters to get some of the posing figured out.

    wicked – i’d forgottn about this. It’s a shame you lost the working file.
    We’ll see some more flash from you then?
