Here is my first scene where I am syncing speech. It is really difficult in flash because I'm not used to flash.

I finally finished sketching another mini scene. This one is mostly about getting used to head movements. It is also the first time I've tried lip syncing in flash (I'm not a big fan of it, I'll have to check a tutorial or something). I also had trouble with my audio frame rate being more than my video frame rate (24fps vs 15 fps). Now I know. All my mistakes help me learn more!!!

I decided to complete my in-progress clip by adding in some dialogue. My friend and future brother-in-law Josh helped by doing the voice of Todd and any other noises I needed. This is actually the first time I have worked with audio that I have recorded myself, it was a new and fun experience.

So this is all my scenes so far with music, transitions, and sound effects.

Here is the next scene, just simple motion tweens.

OK I finally finished this scene, I got a bit side tracked because of the background. I liked the sketchy look of my animations and that transferred over to the background design.

Well, I took a little break from my animation and tried to recreate a picture I found using a vectorized image and Corel Painter 12. I wanted to mess around with the natural watercolor brush so here that is! I liked see how much one brush would effect another!
