/Flash/ Create an interactive movie - part two
28/11/2007 | Filed under Develop > Flash
This second part of our Flash tutorial carries on from the greenscreen shoot, so now Paul Wyatt takes you into the postproduction suite to apply a little pizzazz
It’s not an easy life for our young woman as she relaxes near the local gasworks. She’s prone to attracting butterflies and aliens! Part of the fun of working in After Effects, Photoshop and Flash is that you can make such impossibilities happen. Following on from part one of this tutorial, we’ll have a closer look at some of the animated elements in our video project.
This will be an eye-opener on some very simple but effective animated techniques. Hopefully, these will inspire you to add your own and to take our example site a few steps forward. Perhaps you want flying animated butterfly buttons that periodically fly around the page with new menu items on them. Start right here. Learn how to make one fly!
We’ve also got some advice straight from the pros. Cartoon Networks’ Tom Baker gives us his top tips for animating, while Weeworld’s Tom Harding shares some insight on using colour and imagery in your animation and site work.
