I would suggest having the trails of smoke stream out ahead of the main cloud. The main reason they are out there is because they are faster than the cloud of expanding gases, so make 'em faster.

Is the explosion on a surface? What is exploding? On planets like Earth, explosions can be very generic. In space a lot of different situations can call for different things. And watch the smoke and flames. Unless you have oxygen floating around in the area, there won't be any fire. And defending upon whats exploding, there would either be a large dust cloud(Asteroid, planet surface, anything rocky or sandy. Perhaps even a large dirty snowball) or just some hot metal fragments(Spaceships, space stations, things that are made of stuff that snaps and bends).

holy crap dude! that looks sweet! what did you do? motion tween?

got the first frame and last frame drawn, motion tweened a bunch of individual lines over the first frame, then moved the lines to make up the cat on the last frame- and i know some of it doesnt hang together very well but it was just an experiment

Great stuff, TopHatWonder!

I think the punchline could've been better though. Maybe having the meteorite turning out to be incredibly tiny and it just bounces off someone's head :P

thanks for the idea, i'm going 2 do that and put it on here. it will probably take half hour but ill do it.

I think it would be best if it started out looking spikey and moving very quickly away from a small center. Then, when the individual puffs get out farther, have them become puffier and less sharp (for a good example, watch the end of the yuyu when bitey is jumping through the clouds, that's how I learned)

Hey, I havn't been on this thread for a while!

Nice stuff everyone! Really good for your first flash!
And I agree with Brakken, TopHatWonder!

My brother figuered out how to put a webcam movie into flash so I tried it out:

bleag

Yes..that is me! :rolleyes:

I also did this randomly to try out a new type of animating where the character moves into different poses for the words they're saying:

Clicky!

Hope you enjoy them! ;)

It's not Bitey :P It just happens that the two characters sillhouettes a very alike. This is actually a character I made up years ago. His name is Rewken.

And as for what happens, you wait and see. I'm about halfway through now!

EDIT: Here's a bit more of it:
Mist



StickyWicky, how about some bling-bling? :P

The Music sounds like Trigun, is that what it's from?

The music is from John Butler Trio. :D

Adzy-2k6, that looks pretty good! Although, note that balloons do not have much weight, therefore would not bounce as high or fall as fast.

I went through that frame by frame with the forward and back controls and I noticed there were lots of frames where nothing happend. I reccomend cleaning it all up and filling in those gaps. Also, when it hit's the ground make it flatten a bit at the bottom to show the shape of the ground. Apart from that, you have some good bits in there but it's a bit rusty.

Good luck ;)

That's nice, but the feet sound effects seemed a little uneccesary. :worry:

Here are two pieces I made, both are getting older and older. 1 1/2 - 2 years by now... anyhow, if you like ironic, gory flash animations, check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiwRHqaoyGs

and the end of the live action piece, which is packed with TONS of crazy compositing work and violence, check this one out, starts a little slow, but yeah....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXaAsUYXKNE

Feel free to comment either here or on Youtube, and enjoy!

If you liked those, you can go to www.youtube.com/villainousturtle to see all my silly crap and there is a playlist that runs all 5 parts of that film Mindless Destruction and a making of...

Thanks for watching, if you do!
