For those of us who aren't in an animation class or are in a very crappy one (all we do is talk about unrelated things for 4 hours), should we start up maybe a weekly(or however long) activity that's animation-related for everyone who wants to participate in? Just for the sake of practice and fun. I have a little trouble working without guidance currently... so I know I could use something like it.


That would be ace.

Not totally an animtion question but a flash question. Im currently building a portfolio and I'm trying to import a bitmap image for a thumbnail. No matter how I do it I get a lovely 1997 level of jpeg artifacts on it. Ive tried just pasting it direct from photoshop and importing it in various file formats. Any suggestions?

Its photoshop CS5 and Flash CS5. I would use my old flash but it hates windows 7 and crashes without warning thus destroying all my hard work :sigh:

EDIT: Nevermind I sorted it, in the library you can change the compression settings.

Hopefully a short anim on the way from me, gonna be applying for a multimedia designer job and its mainly flash

I'm not going to spoil my pitch idea but I will say: "russian mythology" :frogc00l:

The pencil test reminds me of some early Don Bluth stuff (not the dick part)... wait a second- we're supposed to go to school for animating? Why didn't someone tell me while I was doing animal behavior and neuroscience? No wonder I'm so far behind! :D

E: What's that from anyway?
