Hello there everyone, the name's supasphoje, an I hope to contribute many flash animated videos here starting this week. I'm am somewhat of a novice to flash animation as I've only taken a few classes. Though never the less, I very much intend to get stronger in flash in the future on the technical side and improve my overall animation technique. I have some skills in stop motion animation and I will definetly apply those skill in as many videos that I have.
To make my videos, I use
Adobe Flash CS5.5
Wacom Tablet
Audacity
ATR2100-USB mic (with pop filter)
I am currently starting a flash animated series called Faster Than Lightning (FTL), a series about how two runners along with friends that they meet along the way must stop a lightning bolt with an evil will and mysterious motives.
I plan to release the first 2 episode this week. The first episode being monday and the second on friday (if not, then sometime next week if I can't complete it in time). Episode 1 of Faster Than Lightning will briefly introduce the characters and a brief discusion on how the Bio-Bolt (the lightning monster) came to be. Episode 2 will reviel the character's abilities as well as what motives they have. This episode will also be the most "action packed" as I experiment the most with stop motion movements and differnet frame rates they should go at. Also a little warning about both episodes is that I used a different mic for both so their will be some disruptive and static audio (mainly episode 1 which I made earlier this summer).
I'll admit that the series woun't have the most consistent animation, the voice acting might be lacking, but I promise that the series will be a fun one to watch. Wish I could have released this series sooner in the summer (due to my job, XC training and a class that lasted much too long), but hey, better late than never! To me Faster Than Lightning is setting a small standard as an animator, and hopefully I can build off it and make more series in due time.
My older animation, as well as prievews for Faster Than Lightning, can be found on my youtube channel.
