Dante+Guitink+Unit+3+9DTR

For this investigation, I started by doing some research into animation, and how to do it. A flash animation is an animated film which is created using adobe flash or a similar program. It is usually saved as a .fla file. Usually the animation itself is simple, and the more intricate versions are created using more modern technology. Flash animation uses a large amount of pictures played at a fast pace in sequence. This is a simple animation on flash, however, this version is outdated

__** Storyboarding **__

"A film storyboard is essentially a large comicc of the film or some section of the film produced beforehand to help film directorss, cinematographers and television commerciall advertising clients visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. Often storyboards include arrows or instructions that indicate movement. Storyboards for films are created in a multiple step process. They can be created by hand drawing or digitally on a computer. The main characteristics of a storyboard are:


 * Visualize the storytelling.
 * Focus the story and the timing in several key frames (very important in animation).
 * Define the technical parameters: description of the motion, the camera, the lighting, etc.

If drawing by hand, the first step is to create or download a storyboard template. These look much like a blank comic strip, with space for comments and dialogue. Then sketch a "thumbnail" storyboard. Some directors sketch thumbnails directly in the script margins. These storyboards get their name because they are rough sketch not bigger than a thumbnail. For some motion pictures, thumbnail storyboards are sufficient."
