| Flash 5 is the latest version of Macromedia's Web graphics tool. This book focuses on one aspect of using Flash: the process of creating a cartoon animation for the Web. The authors are professional cartoonists and animators (Leib and Kuramoto are animators at Twinkle, an animation studio in New York City), and use examples from many of their projects to illustrate the art and craft of character animation on the Web using Flash 5. The CD features: lesson tutorials; Twinkle original Flash toys and games; raw materials for users to build their own animations using Twinkle's elements and characters; links to studios, job resources, learning resources; trial / demo versions of Flash 5; Twinkle Developers Kit; and sound and graphics tools. This book should be of interest to web developers and designers, animators, cartoonists and advertising agencies. |
