Need resources for animation

[GeekBrony 85]

So, I have just started to animate.

 

I know about the Flash Resource pack.

 

But there is stuff that I do not know.

 

Where can I find lip-sync resources, pose making tutorials, etc?

Hello x86cam, and welcome to the world of animating!

 

I've been using flash animation for quite a while now, and I've discovered a few great things to help with learning to use flash animation with ponies. Primarily a glorious thing called Flash Puppets!

 

Flash Puppets are basically pre-made artistic assets, that you can move the limbs and parts around whichever way you want. (Kind of like the Pony Creator.) These flash puppets often include different facial expressions and speech patterns, animations for pegasus wings flapping and other similar things! (Such as blinking and eye expressions.)

 

Take a look at my avatar. The ponies there were made using custom flash puppets by myself, plus some image effects and editing.

 

I recommend going here and downloading all these flash puppets, and messing around with them.

On top of that, you can use these videos to learn how to use them! The person does great commentary, and provides great help on how to use flash animation with these puppets.

Good luck! If you ever have any questions, feel free to let me know. There's another person around here somewhere who I believe has more experience with flash animation than me named @Motion Spark. You should keep your eyes peeled for him and contact him about it as well.
