Thread: Animated Tutorials

Do you guys think making a stick person animation would be good?
It's simple, easy to do, and fairly easy to understand for other users.

Composer signing in. Although background music is quite a bad idea for tutorial movies, it might come in handy in certain situations. I could also give the sound effects a shot.

PM me if you need me (Aquanina, or anyone else) ^_^

I personally would really like this. I would learn better this way.

if i still had flash i would make a WILD or AP tutorial

I just had an idea of making an awesome cartoon about it and putting it on newgrounds, then at the end linking to here.

does any1 know were i can get macromedia flash cs3 for free?

@ Xandier, does it have to be legal? Lol... Joking.

This isn't a warez site.. so even if someone had a link for you, it's not allowed to be posted
We really can't condone illegal activities on the forum

As for the topic.. I'm training myself to be a graphic illustrator atm
From there I could consider tutorials in flash, but that's a far flung potential future

I've already said before, If someone writes out or outlines the tutorial I'd be glad to build it in Flash (or even incorporate some video).

Actually i meant i free trial so i can see whether cs3 is better than version 7.

It scares me

Heh, yah, sorry - sucks that all (well, most of) the stuff I ever posted over the years here in DV will now be broken. Lame.
Wish there is a way I can go back and find all my "linked" posts...

I know this is late but you could use google to find linked posts.. eg... searching for:

I agree 100% on this.

I mean, sometimes a reader may get confused or won't understand what a guide may mean. When watching a tutorial, He will understand what the technique is, how to do it, and what to expect from it.

Cool - thanks Rooj! I just might sit at home one night and go through all that stuff. I copied all the original files in a directory still so it shouldn't be too hard to just relink to one new location.

Well can any one help me ?. As i am going to make one project on "Inventory Management System". My language is VB .Net and for it i want animated tutorials. Some of them i got but i am not able to find exactly which i want. My project is handling all types of purchase, sales and etc. Can any one help me ?.If any one find it than please provide me the best.

You realize you created a zombie, right?

And it's not even on topic...

I would definitely like to get involved... but I don't have a flash animator

I know how to use it though. Oh well.

Why not give Synfig a try? It may not be up to par with flash, but I've seen some impressive stuff done with it--certainly good enough looking to be used for animated DV tutorials. It's opensource, and has Windows, Mac, and Linux ports, so everyone can use it with their OS. I'm not very good with Synfig yet, but I'm learning

And I have Adobe After Effects, and know how to use it really well, so for more complicated effects (i.e. hypnagogic hallucinations) I can pitch in that way.
