This book doesn't focus on mere movement, however - it introduces the concept of character and story-based animation. Relying on a combination of traditional methods and cutting-edge technology, this ATC book delivers a powerful way to learn storytelling and character animation using Flash. From brainstorming and creative development, through character creation, scripting, sound effects, and voice-overs, the book allows the reader to use an impressive collection of provided imagery and audio to develop a complex, amusing, and compelling visual story. Alternatively, the reader can work along with the projects and exercises using their own content. Anyone interested in cartooning, storytelling, comedy, interactive educational products, or related technologies will find the book an invaluable learning resource.
