Agenda

Flash Tips and Tricks: Motion Tweens and Special Effects

OC Flash – Tuesday, July 7, 6:30 p.m.

Cynthia Gordon, Owner and Principal of MedAnimations, will give a presentation on motion tweens, using an example from her work in developing patient education animations. Cynthia will explain what motion tweens are, and how to create and use them. Topics will include:

Mark Dickinson, Senior Production Artist for Marshall Advertising, Costa Mesa, CA, will demonstrate several effects from Chris Georgenes' book "How to Cheat in Adobe Flash CS4", and will also discuss the Custom Easing Tool 1.1 created by Ladizlav Zigo. Mark will show us:

  • How to use the blur filter to create motion in your animations
  • Creating a handwriting effect through masking that makes text "write" itself
  • Creating special effects such as a bounce through use of the Custom Easing Tool

As always, there will be plenty of time for questions and answers.

See the Orange County MultiMedia Association website for meeting location.
