Drawing and Animating a Character in Flash

This is a great presentation! Artist/animator Chris Georgenes creates a character from scratch using flash drawing tools. Click on "Watch the presentation" but be prepared to spend some time. The show is 1 hour but a great Flash tip every minute: Macromedia - Developer Center : Drawing and Animating a Character in Flash. If you survived the first one, here is another on "Lip-Syncing" in Flash. Not as densely packed with tips as the first IMHO but a great tutorial. If you enjoy Chris's work, you'll want to take a look at www.mudbubble.com
