Flash News Flash!

Yesterday I finally had my first Flash class! It was an all-day class & my head is still spinning a little.

It's like falling down a rabbit hole-- passing shelves & shelves filled with shape tweens, motion paths, movie clips, armatures-- but falling so fast I can only pick up little scraps of understanding here & there-- just enough to get myself in trouble!

We'll see how it goes once I've firmly landed in Flashland.

So far my animations have not been at all artistic-- just messing with basic shapes-- but it shouldn't be hard to begin incorporating a few curiosities once I get the techniques down. I think I may try a fluttery little animation with this character first. Wish me luck!
