Maybe a cheap class could help. If you can help me, I would owe you!

Hey there, everyone. Had a little trouble sleeping last night and thought that I would come up with a plan for my journal. I know this may sound super silly, but I sort of wanted to leave a small mark behind. See, I wanted to make a pesonal blog, with a little bit of artwork behind, where a poor excuse of an artist like myself can fool around bit ( Read more... )

It's good to hear from you.

I think it's a wonderful idea.

Have you considered Flash? It's pretty easy to learn, and you've seen it used a lot.

Normally Flash is expensive, but you can get a trial copy.
It's pretty easy to learn, and there are a many "intro to flash" books and sites out there.

I know very little about flash, but if there are intro books out there on the subject and I can understand it, then I'm willing to give it a look over and see what I can do. I can of had a feeling it was a little expensive. Not so sure why I wanna do this, but I am a bit interested. Thank you, my friend.

I think it'd work.

The big advantage of Flash is that you don't have to animate it frame by frame. For one motion, you set the 'start' and 'end' points, and Flash does the in-between calculations.

Essentially, you just draw it like a storyboard, and you have it.

Flash is easily findable. You can even find it in the street if you're lucky.

Adopt a pet? anonymous March 17 2006, 20:10:42 UTC

woah..*cringe*

I just now thought of a *gasp* "love song"

"I don't know much~ but I know I love you...
and that may be...all there is to know"

Perhaps you've heard of it. it's actually not that bad.

anyhoo's, I know its not really a creation, but these pets are fun and interactive: http://bunnyherolabs.com/adopt/

Hai hai. Of course I know the song ^_^; The pets sound like an interesting idea, but I have my mind set on something a bit more personable and the SD kitty sounds like something I would like to try. I wanted something a little more personal out there, even though my voice has been really messed up from the scope they stuck down there when they pumped my tummy of all that blood. *hugs*

You should be able to do it easily with Flash. There are a few programs out there that you can use to animate it in, and older versions of it should be easily obtainable. I know a friend that is animating in Flash, and they learned all they needed from a book and messing with the editor.

Looks like flash may be the way to go, though I am not exdependable with computers anymore like I use to be. I stutter and stumble my way through a lot now, and I hate how that makes me feel. If I take my time, and try to study it more, then maybe I have a chance. I don't know if I should take some sort of small class or not either. Things get tough on me now when I am not in bed, plus I get tired quickly without the use of a wheelchair. I also don't know if I need more space or not. At the very least, I should try something small and on a trial basis. Thanks for all your help. Missed you lots.

Hey there, wish i knew stuff about comps, but to be honest, i stink at this. I think your idea is a cool one though, and i'd take the advice from your friends here, and looking into the classes might be a good thing too. Oh, and you might want to ask people on Deviant Art, alot of people do media stuff there, someone might have an idea. Wish i could help more.
