Product Description

Book Description
You want to make an animated film. You've got the idea. You've got Macromedia Flash. But where do you start?


What's the best way to script your cartoon, how do you start animating with Flash, what do you really need to know in order to get your ideas out there, and make you famous?


Who better to ask than two talented professionals, who've not only worked for Disney, but also run the hugely successful cult website - funnyazhell?


Kevin Peaty and Glenn Kirkpatrick draw on their many years of studio experience and their knowledge of Flash to show you the best way to create great Flash cartoons that look as good as traditional animated films.


This book follows the professional process, taking a creative idea from storyboard stage, through layout to publishing, via a detailed look at animation techniques, that will give you the kind of insight normally only gained from years spent in the industry.


In depth and detailed, the book follows the production of a cartoon from inception to final output - looking at all the decisions and skills that have contributed to its appeal.


Whether you're completely new to Flash, or are making your first steps into the world of Flash cartooning, this book will let you work alongside the professionals to make your own animated masterpiece.

About the Author
Kevin Peaty is currently Animation Director for Walt Disney Australia.


Glenn Kirkpatrick has worked as a Disney animator, as well as being Animation Supervisor on the TV series 'Rugrats' and 'King of the Hill'.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliantly illustrated!, 21 Jan 2003
By A Customer
if you want to learn cartooning, you should start here. I'd seen these guy's work before, on the 'net - and on TV little did i realise - and they are fantastic animators. The funnyazhell site is really funny, especially El Snakehips - check it out, and it turns out that they're not too shy at teaching either.

The book keeps you going at just the right pace, teaching you the basics of drawing with Flash early on, encouraging you to design your own characters, and you learn how to animate them as you follow along. I'd have liked to have seen more walking cycles for refference as i'm finding that bit really hard - but i guess it's up to you to experiment and find your own style, as they say.

Kevin and Glenn are even magnamous enough to recomend other animaition textbooks, like the 'Illusion of Life', and cartoons (they're big Ren 'n' Stimpy fans) for inspiration. And that's all I'll need, inspiration, as I recon all you need to know about Flash animation is in this book - and great drawings throughout!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, 1 Mar 2004
By C. Ung "cung36" (England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flash Cartoon Animation: Learn from the Pros (Paperback)
I purchased this book as I needed aid in animating in flash, but this was not at all what I expected it to be, if your new to animation then this is ideal... this book is exactly similar to "The Animator's Survival Kit" it tells you how to frame draw animations, do storyboards and how to turn a script into an animation with scenes.
With the title called "Flash Cartoon Animation" you would expect a fair amount of tutorials, but they are very and i mean VERY basic- ease in and ease out, basic motion tweens, things that you can learn by just messing around with Flash yourself.

Ideally this book isn't fantastic, it just repeats alot of what is said in the Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams, if you are looking to animate cartoons in flash and need help, your best of looking elsewhere.
