Yay, I made my first animation! Cheshyre is the best and he did the music for it. BUY HIS STUFF!
If anyone had some tips on this flash business that would be much appreciated. I am still new to all this.
How do I make an animation default to start running on low quality when you open it? I fear that high quality made it run too slow.

And how do you add those cool auras to lines and objects?

And I started working on something new. Feel free to tell me how to make stuff better. The harsher the criticism, the better!

EDIT: You can consider that art I just made as a tribute to Cheshyre's Madness 7. That song is what inspired me to create Talon!!

I FINALLY OWN FLASH!!
I dunno why I waited so long (like, three years or something stupid, mostly because of school and other commitments...), but it's probably a good thing I did, because now I've had the time to think about what I'm gonna create.

I guess this means it's back to work on the piece of poop I started during my 30 day trial. Don't get as excited as I am because I am bad at everything.

THE ROVIANS, THEY ARE COMING

EDIT: Autosave is driving me nuts. Every ten minutes it comes on and lags everything to hell for a couple of minutes. Seriously this flash would have been done ages ago if it wasn't for autosave.

EDIT: Finished animating. It's a measly 560 frames long, and it runs for 20 seconds. It's not much but hey, were you expecting something epic? :P Now I just needa work out how to do a preloader, sounds and music.

EDIT: Preloader done. In the credits at the end I'm writing my name as Zal; I wanna change my username because let's face it, CheesePieTomato is a stupid name. Anyone know how to change your username?

EDIT: Sound effects done. There's a grand total of about three sound effects, huzzah! They're not that great quality but hey, I could only use whatever I found in my garage to record them. My friend who does a sound production course at TAFE helped me and then we played Spyro 3. The end.

Whoopee, I finally got Flash CS5.5! ...30 day trial, whatever. I'll buy it at the end, most likely.
So yeah I can make flash crap now, not that anyone cares, but this blog page has to have something new written on it every now and then or it gets boring.
I won't spam any crappy looking practice animation tests to the portal, I'm happy to wait till I've created something that almost looks nearly worthwhile... if I can...
Speaking of worthwhile, click here, and your ears will thank you for it.
Thank you Adam Phillips for the awesome guides to flash!!

EDIT: Here's a picture of some stuff I animated. I'm not gonna waste NG space with the swf file which would only get blammed anyway since the vehicles aren't moving relative to each other, and they're kinda crappy anyway. I just wanted to post a picture, even though you might find it crappy...
Sorry if the picture hurts your eyes...

EDIT: Started making my first cartoon a few days ago. It'll be crap, and I'll probably spend much more time making it than I should. I'm still new to animation in general so I'm pretty slow...

EDIT: Totally buggered from 8 hours of work and 2 hours of cheerleading today, but hey I'm getting Flash tomorrow so it's all good :D

I know barely anyone will look at my page, but I feel like I should post some links on it.

This guy is a wizard when it comes to music. Buy his stuff.

In other news i've designed some characters and i'm very happy with them. if i'm lucky then i'll have made some sort of animation with them sometime in the distant future, and if you're lucky then i'm even more lucky. Yep, that made sense.
someone tell me how to buy a legit Flash MX. I'll totally put your name in the credits when i'm super famous and rich

IMPORTANT UPDATE!! CHESHYRE'S SECOND ALBUM IS OUT!!
http://cheshyre.bandcamp.com/album/the -rise-of-the-cheshyre
And guess what, you can pay 8 dollars for it, but it gives you the option of paying more than 8 dollars! Be a rebel and pay as much as you dare! Whoever pays the most wins! Win what, you say? Hmm... it's a surprise!

Also, this. But I'm sure you already knew that!

Gonna get flash... eventually... just you wait.
Would like to do some practice animations before I go into my series, chances are, it'll be shit.
Who knows.

That was an epic madness flash.
