Flash Assignment (Week 6)

What I was planning to do for my assignment definitely includes stick figures. I was pretty impressed by what you could do with Flash through some of the flash assignments, and examples that Lori showed us. The only problem is, I've never used flash in my life. But the inspiration of the Animation vs. Animator in a violent struggle made me want to play with stick figures.

There are also other inspirations on the web, most of them are stick figures involved with violence, but that's what makes it so funny and interesting, with the stuff you can do in flash.

Xiao Xiao was created by a man named Zhu who was one of the first people I've seen come up with the originality of the stick figure violence. He has created many episodes and even developed an interactive version of his stick figure to play within the story.

Stick Figure Ninja is a more simplistic way of showing me what you could do with stick figures in flash. It was more of a less professional way to show that with stick figures, it is possible to make a story out of something so simple and basic.

To do this in flash, you got to have basic stick figure and animate them frame by frame, if it means if they're walking, you swing their legs and arms back and forth to create a walking motion, and just loop the frames while moving it through my movie. I just need to figure out a story and what I will need my stick figure to do in the movie than just walking.
