Flash Animation--The Tale of Genji

I'm taking a class on Japanese image and text (we're reading literature, manga, etc.). One of our assignments was to interpret a part of "Evening Faces" from "The Tale of Genji" in a different medium, so I decided that since I'm teaching myself Flash right now, I might as well do something.

So here's my basic animation that I've put on YouTube:



The rendering is kind of strange for some reason, but it gives it an pretty cool effect. I used Illustrator for the imagery and the text is from Genji.

I'm excited to get better at Flash so I can make more nested animations!

  3. 'Shape tweening' is a pretty neat feature in flash. You can make things morph into other things.
