Building a Character for Animation Video Tutorial 

"Building a Character for Animation"
This video tutorial demonstrates how to take an illustration of a character and break it up and convert it into symbols so that it is ready to be animated. You'll be shown how to:

  • Select, assemble, and repair body parts as they are converted to symbols
  • Proper layering organization
  • Correctly place pivot points for seemless integration between multiple symbols
  • Know how to effectively fix problem areas that work in one pose, but not in another.

You'll be shown two different ways to go about building your character: 1.) working from previously drawn and cleaned up art, and 2.) layering and constructing as you sketch your character in Flash.

*This is NOT a drawing tutorial. This tutorial focuses on more of the technical aspects of Flash and properly and effectively setting up your character to be "animation-ready".

About the instructor:
