    Even I am not a English speaker, but your voice is really clear to make me understand, thanks a lot.
    That's why the audio is so important.

    Boy this takes me back to the early 2000's when I was using actionscript 2 and 3 to create website and motion graphics.

  • @SeaMonkey137
    @SeaMonkey137 4 роки тому +1

    Nice video! It's really interesting how Flash has evolved. I started working with Macromedia Flash when it was primarily an animation program. Then it creeped into a Web platform where you could build an entire site within the container. Then it died. Then it cam back as Animate as an animation program. But now you can export your interactive animations with JavaScript/HTML5 into an in a website again. Amazing tool.

    This is a great behind-the-scenes look at other animators workflows! An easy alternative for storyboarding that I actually just found out about a few months ago is called Storyboarder. It's open source and is compatible with photoshop as well.

    Hey! This was really helpful, as an artist I've not used Animate (or Flash MX as it was when I used it) in such a long time, you reminded me about a few of the little things, as I was genuinely wanting to get into animation again for youtube but wasn't sure where to start, I couldn't remember the name of the tweens but that has taken me back, so hopefully I can get to work and make use of my graphic tablet :D

    Hi Brad! Thanks for sharing this video, it was very helpful. I have a question though, as you always reviewing and working with pen displays...how come you are using in this particular video a pen tablet? Is it better for animation?

  • @Blank-ji8zn

    Hey Brad, are you ever going to do a sketchbook tour? Would be really cool to see

    • @thebradcolbow
      @thebradcolbow  6 років тому

      You would probably be disappointed :)
      My sketchbook is a mess and often more words and scribbles than real sketches. I might do a brief one in a Q&A sometime.

    • @Radtastic
      @Radtastic 6 років тому

      Well a lot of what you do is design, so writing notes is important! I say the messier the sketchbook, the better!
      (but the q&a thing is a good idea)

    Hi Brad - really great to see your workflow and hear what is going in in your head. I am trying to get away for the CC subscription and was wondering if you could recommend an alternative to Animate?
    BTW, really love your Affinity Designer Crash Course!

    • @thebradcolbow
      @thebradcolbow  6 років тому

      The only one I know of is called Toon Boom. It looks cool but also has a monthly subscription. I think it’s around 20 or $25 a month.

    @Brad Colbow For your workflow, do you prefer using a Wacom tablet as opposed to something like a Cintiq? If it ran smoothly, would you prefer to do all of this on something like a Surface Book, so you could use the stylus on the screen? I admit that the Wacom tablets have a nuance that even the iPad Pro/Pencil can't get with. But there's that disconnect of looking at a screen while using a tablet below. Kinda like touch-typing for drawing. haha.

    • @thebradcolbow
      @thebradcolbow  6 років тому

      Yeah, I do prefer to use a screen based tablet. It takes time getting used to the other ones but a lot of artists prefer the no-screen tablets. It comes down to personal preference.

I said to my son you may want to move the time line to the bottom because AE and PR and most Apps have the timeline on the bottom. glad to see someone else did it. thebullyexposed.com
