Features: We wrote this FLASH animation book not as teachers instructing everyone on how to create animation or in which direction to go, but rather to share with you some of our creative experiences. We hope to inspire your creative thinking, as the final works still depend on your personal style and accumulated life experiences. The content of this book primarily focuses on frame-by-frame hand-drawn animation, analyzing animation examples with intuitive, simple, and easy-to-understand language. This allows us to share the creative process of animation and emphasize intellectual exchange. In addition to analyzing animation examples, we have also included creative thinking methods, color matching techniques, basic animation principles, and finishing skills for your reference, aiming to provide you with comprehensive nourishment from this book.
Creating a FLASH animation requires not only production skills but, above all, creativity. To achieve unique creativity, your mind must be rich in resources. You need to observe more, read more, and experience different aspects of life, understanding various perspectives. This will greatly improve the efficiency and quality of your creative work. Additionally, developing a habit of listening to music is beneficial for creation. The melodies of music often evoke different emotions. If you listen to music 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 find fleeting images—such as a funny face or an action—that might be useful. If so, jot them down on a piece of paper as elements. Once you’ve gathered enough, you can use your creativity to organically arrange them into a cohesive story.
The completion of this book took over a year, as the three authors spent countless nights collecting, organizing, writing, even re-creating and drawing it. It truly reflects our immense effort and dedication. We believe the publication of this book will provide strong support for your FLASH animation creation! At the same time, we wish everyone the same boundless joy in animation creation as we have.
This book uses numerous and rich examples to explain 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 enthusiasts; 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.
