This evening I started an evening course in Flash animation – I don’t have the patience to teach myself, so I’ve forked over a couple of hundred quid for 14 weeks training. The class is taken by a nice Colombian gentleman with a very high-pitched voice, and is aimed at students with little or no experience of the software – in fact, it seems to be targeted at people with little or no experience of anything to do with the Internet – at one point we were instructed in the dark art of search engine technology (“This is Google, yes? As you can see, I am now searching for a picture of a cow”).
Anyway, I shouldn’t complain. I learnt how to use the most basic drawing tool, how to import external files into the ‘library’, and by the end of the lesson I’d completed my very first target – a flash button that reacts to mouseover and click. Here it is.
More as the course progresses…
I trust you learn to draw penguins in the next lesson, then?
can you please learn to draw things that look a bit less, well you know, less…evil.
the way the ears go pointy made me shiver.
and those eyes are burned into my subconscious.
