Flash Lipsync Animation

Flash is really nice piece of software to use, and its very , much like Photoshop for me, once you get to know the basics you can get to grips with other things on your own.


I didn't have any issues trying to get the audio up to flash, and i found that once i get into the flow it was fine. However, it is such a long process on having to decide what mouth to chose, constantly stopping mouthing the words yourself, while other people stare at you and think, yep...that is 100% a sign of madness...she's talking to herself.

Coloured the background and also the characters in Photoshop then imported them into Flash and created the mouths there. I found that tutorials helped on YouTube just to get the basics, and now and again if i forgot or got a bit stuck on something that possibly didn't make sense i would ask.

Any types of movements were fairly easy to animate. Remembering to save your work is always a good idea, and at times i nearly lost my work due to the software or computer freezing.

I think this is quite good what I've manged to create. I do think there could be improvements, for example, i notice when i went to put the mouths to place on the characters, they weren't in the same place as the frame before, and i can't quite understand why i didn't notice then, but it is very quick movement. I think also maybe more movement in the background, but then again i don't know if that would have been very distracting, and kept the audience off the characters that are talking.

Here's the animation, hope you like!
