[Video] A Couple of Flash Animations I Made!

[Colonel Thunder]

Learning how to use Flash this term. I've made a couple animations so far, and I've uploaded them to Newgrounds/YouTube. So if you folks feel like rating or liking any of those, that would be awesome.

"Steve Goes to Work" is the first animation I did, and it's a minute long nonsense story about a guy driving to work.

"Tyler Hurts His Eye" is a very familiar story about the time I got tea, fire, and Febreeze in my eye in one night.

Neato.

I always drink my tea with a teapot, not a microwave. I had never even though of using a microwave for something like that before.

They were pretty minimalistic, obviously, but the humor was great. At least you're learning! Maybe one day you'll be as good as me!

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, I'm not very good

On a serious note though, hopefully they don't get blammed on Newgrounds. Standards are a bit high, especially if you claim something is a first animation

I voted 5 on them to help protect them

Fuck, I forgot to mention. When uploading movies to Newgrounds, it's best to include a preloader. Newgrounds provides some of their own here: http://www.newgrounds.com/downloads/preloaders/
Or better yet, convert that shitty old .swf file into a video with swivel and you can upload the .mp4 to Newgrounds: http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/creator-resources/flash-resources/swivel
BTW, I konw flash has an option to export to video, but their video exports are terrible and swivel is the best .swf to video converter out so yeah

One more thing: the audio quality sounds a bit off. I'm not sure if that's your mic or not, but flash likes to export really crap quality audio by default, so make sure in your publish settings that the audio quality is good, usually 48kbps and up is pretty good.

Thanks so much, Artist! I'll apply those tips pronto!

 

[Frilzer]

I lol'd at the tea story.

 

[Tolvan]

Nice.

I lol'd at the tea story.

Oh yeah, you were away when that happened, it's a story we remind him about when he's feeling too good about himself

I did another flash animation, no sound this time though.

 

[The Hound]

I find it odd that I find out about these things from facebook first.

What is the hawk?

 

[Colonel Thunder]

The Hawk is the cafeteria at my university. The animation was made for a class.

 

[Easy]

Hah. Pretty funny stuff.

 

[Colonel Thunder]

The last one from the class last term. I finally added sound to it.

I'm no @Artist "The New Jesus" Unknown , but that class was pretty fun.

A flash class sounds like it'd be fun, especially when you get to actually make stuff.

I think this is my favorite thing you've made so far. It feels like a complete thing and shows a lot of improvement.
