When he’s not creating new episodes of Leo & Satan, Chris O’Neill (OneyNG), is now producing Flash animation tutorials. In this one below, O’Neill takes you inside Flash, and also inside his ass.

We’ve featured Andy Sykes animated shorts and promos here on CHF a number of times, and today we’re featuring the first episode of his Flash Animation Tutorials. Aside from creating funny shorts for the web, he’s also a teacher at a few universities in the UK. To date, he’s completed a total of 46 video tutorials, which are all cateloged on his website.

Nick Cross and Adam Phillips are two of my favorite animators, regardless of which software they choose. Cross has brought us wonderful eyecandy like Waif of Persephone, Yellow Cake and his latest endeavor The Pig Farmer, which is still in production. Phillips is the grand master of Flash animation, King of Newgrounds and a wizard of effects. His Brackenwood shorts series seems like an impossible achievement for one animator, and to blow our minds further, he’s got a feature in the works.

This month, Cross and Phillips have both revealed some of the secrets behind their work. Phillips has moved almost exclusively over to Toon Boom Animate, while Cross is pushing through The Pig Farmer in Flash. Below we’re treated to a glimpse into their production process:

He uses scenes from The Last of the Dashkin, which he released at the end of last year, and while it’s not delivered as a tutorial, you can surely pick up some great tips. Here’s part 1:
