Five tips for creating an animated Flash cartoon


With Adobe Flash is the creation of cartoons as accessible as ever and ever.  With time and a little know-how, you can directly in the and animating a cartoon from your very own start jumping.  However, there is a difference between a cartoon and a good cartoon.  (Listed in no particular order), these five tips will help you with planning and animating cartoons.


Write a script.  The cartoon like it unnecessarily, for the idea may be right in the head, but to write a script, the film can you significantly improve the flow.  Also short films benefit from scripts.  You don't need to go and buy expensive screenplay writing software.  A simple text editor do, as long as you can write the stage directions and dialogue.  If no script, then at least write an outline.  This is also useful if you need to add or change something later.  It's much easier to write everything down and then to remember your ideas.

Get a graphics tablet.  Drawing with a mouse is hard and not too many people find comfortable to do it.  So go ahead and buy on a tablet, which is basically a digital pad and pen, you can draw.  You can draw on the screen, so how would a pen and paper, and this can significantly improve how that sees their cartoon.  And in the long run to fight this faster curiosities of the mouse.  Find stores on Amazon or in the computer lots of Tablet (different sizes, price, etc.).  To search, read reviews and find for you.

Check out other cartoons.  If you present a caricature of, never made works observe other peoples is a good way, River and style to obtain a handle.  Well, not watch a cartoon and steal the ideas or plot from it, but rather to see how the Director used zooms cuts, camera, camera and so on.  Note also how the Director lines (if any), color, special effects, character design, and other artistic properties used.  Find out what you like and what is not, and then restart it to customize and make your own style.

Search input.  You want to be your cartoon own, but it never to harm to questions, for the input.  To do this, you can find an online community and your work there or just to show your cartoon book to your friends.  While people who know tend to be (and hold back their thoughts to spare your feelings), it can help you have an idea of which direction to take your cartoon.  Now, let's not you discourage entry.  There are many people out there who will bash just for fun.  Ignore these hateful comments and focus on the constructive are.

Practice!  I'll be honest, your first cartoon more than likely not your biggest work will be.  Like everything else this process results in time and a lot of practice.  Research of damage never either.  The Internet is a great resource full of articles, examples and video tutorials for you from learning.  Once your first cartoon in the can, continue!  Start, writing scripts for your next, practice your drawing skills, continue to seek input from other cartoons and further push!
