Phillips Teaches The Animators Tools
Learning how to animate in Flash is relatively easy. It’s perhaps the #1 reason why the tool has become so popular – you can make something move in seconds, and create a solid short film in hours or a few days. To make things even easier, Adam Phillips, the world-class Australian animator, has posted the second **FREE** chapter of his how-to-animate in Flash book. This new chapter is titled The Animator’s Tools, and in the 49 page PDF you get a full run-down of Flash’s toolset and how to best take advantage of the possibilities. It’s all leading up to his eventual release of the BiteyCastle Academy Flash Animation eBook. We shiver at the mere thought….

Surprised he didn’t forget how to use all the tools since he converted to Toon Boom!
Kidding. Adam is a phenomenon, and I just recently blew some people’s minds by showing them “Waterlollies”. SOOOOO fast!
Still, someone should let him know that Flash has bones now! No 3D camera though… yet! Get on it, Daves!

While this is great stuff, I don’t really agree with the notion that “you can… create a solid short film in hours or a few days”. Surely it takes much more than knowing how to animate in Flash?
Aaron – you probably get this, but I do think that such a statement might mislead people.
My two cents.
