Eevee and Marceline Flash Animation.

To improve our knowledge of and skills in Flash, we were given the task to create a short animation of a humanoid cartoon character petting an animal cartoon character in front of a photographic background.
For my short animation, I chose to use Marceline from Adventure Time, and the Pokemon Eevee, in front of a photograph of a shopping street in Seoul, South Korea.

I enjoyed this animation, as by this time I did feel more confident with working with flash, and was eager to try out new techniques, such as bitmapping and tracing an image to alter different parts of it, and so to make single parts of the image move. I then used tweening on these motions to make them more smooth.
I was able to make Marceline bend down and pet Eevee, and to make Eevee's tail wag and eyes blink.



I feel that the techniques I have learned while creating this short animation sequence will help me a lot with making my own animation, as I will be using my own drawings, traced through Illustrator, and then be altering and animating them in the same way as this using Flash.
