What you can do when you Flash and Type

Hey Y'all,

So the last time we chatted I showed you some gesture drawing for a character using Adobe Flash. Here is is what came of those gesture drawings. Also, here's my animatic for my next project "Kinetic Typography." Essentially we are taking parts of songs, poems, speeches and making a video using mostly text to convey emotion. Its gonna be awesome. OH and don't judge my animatic so hard, the finished product won't look like it.

Till next time y'all,

Stop motion shorts and using flash

Hey Ya'll,

   So a lot has happened since our last chat. Campus plague has spread like wildfire and I learned a lot of new things.
   First thing being doing a stop motion with a several hand cut pieces is very time consuming(though still fun). Second, sticking to your animatic, this is a rough cut/slideshow of what your final animation might look like, is helpful. You can see my animatic in the video below and the final product. Third, I LOVE♥ LOVE FLASH!!! Flash is sooooooo much more fun(and faster) than stop motion (though I still love stop motion). I'm pretty sure I just think that because there is more instant gratification for me. It's kinda like working with Photoshop and I used a drawing tablet for the first time. We use Wacom tablets( SO COOL) in my class.The most awkward part, not looking down at my hands as I'm drawing, cause its not visible on the tablet.

   We are starting our next projects in class now. So we had to design characters to make interact with something heavy. I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do yet, so I just did a bunch of gesture drawings. I 'll just hope for the best.

   The following videos are: My groups stop motion animatic and final animation and my gesture drawings for my flash project. 

Til next time ya'll,

Tasha out♥
