about 7-8 years.. a friend gave me their copy of Flash 5 in about 2000-2001. Good luck with the graphics improvements :D
Flash CS4 is out!
Can I pay for your chapters in gold? although my pally is a bit poor atm, maybe he'll get some gold from mining in the wotlk
Got an albino drake today on my pink-haired gnome today, too
oO0oh albino drake! I have nowhere near the required mounts to get that one :O
Would you happen to know of a good free program? I checked out flash CS3, but I can't afford it.
try eBay for an earlier version (MX, MX2004, 8 or CS3).
Now that CS4 is out you'll see some CS3 being sold for bargain prices here and there. I friend of mine bought Flash 8 for something like $60 a while back.
Oh geez wow, how thoughtful of you! From a disney animator himself. I'll go check it out right away.
that was absolutely amazing! U make ulit so easy for n00bs, intermediates (like me) and even advances to learn about flash! U have to publish the book; maybe sell it for like 40-60 bucks each book
Hey, I checked out your site and I have to say, wow. No...let me repeat. WOW. *Drools on keyboard*
Oh my god, I want to make this stuff like you!
But...one eensy problem for me. I don't have flash. This sucks so bad for me, and I feel a tinge of envy.
I have to say, you are one of the major inspirations of me going into creative working.
Although it's all still up in the air since I haven't even finished High School! I do want to focus on something and I find Flash a much funner alternative than just typing all my stories down on a computer.
Also, a suggestion. It would be cool for you to...say...branch out from Bitey onto something related to 'Taken'? I have to say, that 30 second flash made me jump more than 3:33am! I think a major factor would have been the overall lighting of the scenery in the kitchen.
You were able to see...whatever it was...more clearly and I think it would be just nice to see it on Newgrounds rather than hunting your flashes all down in BiteyCastle.com.
I've read some of your stories, and the one about the boy and the Yuyu was actually a very believeable story even though you mentioned it as fiction.
*Yawn* I think I'd better stop here...it's around 12:00 and I'd better get to bed. I just wish you luck on whatever you do and I hope that I get Flash soon so I can start up on those tutorials of yours!
~funnyhomeboy
thanks for the suggestion.. I have a number of non-Brackenwood projects so one day I'll try to get them up on NG. Glad you liked the site, Taken and the Yuyu story too. Hope you like the tutorials, but if you want a good Flash-like program that doesn't expire, try the personal learning edition of ToonBoom's new program called Animate. It's a lot like Flash but a more complete animation tool. I'll be posting Animate tutorials on my blog soonish.
These chapters are well laid out, easy to follow and great for people who were intimidated by flash because they didn't know where to begin. I loved the suggestion from a user down in the comments about finding sponsors to be able to offer successive chapters for free. Personally, I'd love to dip my first born in gold and send it to you gift wrapped, but I am the poorest sort of person... a full time student married to another full time student! Thank you for putting your time and effort into helping the masses learn.
no problem! I hope you get something out of the upcoming chapters. I'm still in two minds as to whether or not they'll be paid, or free but a sponsor is a great solution. Chapter 3 will be finished today so I have to make a decision pretty quick.
AWESOME
you should make more cartoons! yer my favorite cartoonist!! your cartoons are reeeally really good! and i know you probably get that alot, and it won't mean alot comming from a nobody like me but seriously! waterlollies is the best cartoon on this site!! and aaalll your cartoons are really really good!! and i think you should hop back in the scene with another great movie!! but ya know. . . that's just me. . . i downloaded yer book by the way, like the first 2 chapters, i have it stapled together all neatly, on my desk to refer back to when i'm animating, anyway. . . sorry to bother you!! i'm just a big fan of your work and would like to see more!!
It always means a lot to get great feedback, even small bits :)
Thanks for taking the time to leave yours and I'm glad you like the book (so far).
I'm glad that you're offering to teach others how to animate in flash and all, but what I'm really looking forward to is another Brackenwood flash. I can't wait for you to make something remarkable that will blow away everything on the top 50 (like Waterlollies did) even Fallen Angel.
Fallen Angel's pretty awesome.. I have a new Brackenwood in the works but I'm not sure it'll be ready before year's end. We'll have to see :D
I love your work, can't wait to see what you come out with next! Never stop animating! Your flashes are pure gold!
thanks!
I have learned more in the first two chapters for free than I have learned watching most the tuturials on youtube. Thanks Adam. You also have tthe best water effects I have ever seen in Flash, and Im constantly searching.
Chapter 5 will be the effects chapter so you might want to save $5 - $8 for that - - price depends on how huge the chapter turns out to be.. then again I may spread effects over several $3 - $4 chapters, i.e. lighting FX, water, fire, smoke, etc.
Woah that must of been quite an ordeal, I can imagine your fustration.
Bu knowing what a great animator you are, it's really great news to hear your giving tutorials on flash, I will definatly buy them all, even if its just to brush up on my skills.
I've been looking for ways to better myself in flash and I couldn't think of any possible better way than to have your help! =)
Wait sorry has the final, full version been made yet?
I see all these comments of people purchasing the full version but I can only see the two free downloads on your site.
I would seriously purchase all the chapters right now if you point me in the right direction?
The original unpublished book is done but it's the rewriting that is taking up a lot of time.. although Chapter 3 will be up later today - perhaps tomorrow (Sunday 16th Nov) cos my girlfriend will read through the chapter and do all the tutorials to get a beginner's perspective.
Thanks in advance for your support and I'll make a new NG blog post for each chapter release.
Yay chapter 3! I gotta go to an exam so I'll probably buy it when I get back. Sorry I have visited you on khaz, its just that the queues are so freakishly long - 1337 people in the queue when i tried to get to my gnome yesterday
who better to teach flash than Adam Phillips!
I finally got Flash pro 8, which version is your tutorial about? and I love the stories on your website, and of course, your flashes. I hope you make more and more and more and more...................
David
I'd love to buy your entire series. Would you accept direct cash payments instead of paypal and whatnot?
chluaid
that could be done by special arrangement, but I don't have the online store facilities to handle that. Maybe one day when the store is bigger.
