Features: We wrote this FLASH animation book not to teach everyone how to create and in what direction to go, but to share with you some of our creative experiences, hoping to inspire your creative thinking. Ultimately, your work depends on your personal style and daily life accumulation. The content of this book focuses on frame-by-frame hand-drawn animation, using intuitive, simple, and easy-to-understand language to analyze animation examples, thereby sharing the creative process of animation and emphasizing intellectual exchange. In addition to analyzing animation examples, we have also included some creative thinking methods, color matching techniques, basic animation principles, and finishing skills for your reference, aiming to provide you with more comprehensive insights.
Creating a FLASH animation requires not only production skills but, most importantly, creativity. To achieve unique ideas, your mind must be rich with resources. You need to observe carefully, read more, and experience different aspects of life, understanding various perspectives to greatly improve the efficiency and quality of your creative work. Additionally, developing a habit of listening to music is beneficial for creation. The melody of music often evokes different emotions. If you listen to it with a heart, you’ll realize you’re listening to a story.
When creating a FLASH animation, first analyze the theme and what it aims to convey—is it meant to be humorous or emotional? You can listen to soft music, close your eyes, and lie down in a comfortable place, mentally "playing" images related to the theme like a slide show. As you do this, you’ll be filtering materials—such as a funny face or an action that sparks inspiration. If something is useful, jot it down on a piece of paper as a component. Once you’ve gathered enough, you can creatively organize them into a cohesive story.
The completion of this book took over a year, as the three authors spent countless nights collecting, organizing, writing, and even re-creating and drawing it in our spare time. It truly reflects our immense effort. We believe the publication of this book will provide strong support for your FLASH creation! At the same time, we wish everyone the same boundless joy in animation creation as we have!
With numerous and rich examples, this book explains in detail the basic knowledge, production techniques, and the conception, design, production, and playback of successful FLASH animation cases. The content is divided into four parts: "Basic FLASH Animation," "FLASH Network Presentation Animation," "FLASH Commercial Animation," and "FLASH Small Case Explanations." It applies theory and methods to practice, fully integrating current social trends and commercial needs, offering high learning and reference value for FLASH enthusiasts.
This book is suitable for animation lovers, readers with a basic understanding of animation who hope to use FLASH software to create their own works, and professionals with some FLASH production skills who wish to further develop into skilled FLASH creators.
