Combining Frame by Frame and Tweening

Submitted 10.22.06

SUMMARY:

This tutorial isn't so much a tutorial but a series of instances where it could be useful to combine frame-by-frame animation and tweening.
Many times tweening gets a bad wrap because its such a basic technique one learns when you just start out but it can have great power.

Photoshop and Flash

Submitted 10.22.06

SUMMARY:

This isn't the greatest tutorial due to the resolution, but the technique is useful nonetheless. Learning to melt in textures into your stills will give them an extra touch of class, the way I look at is: if someone is going to be staring at this static scene for awhile may as well make it purrdy.

Master Mask

Submitted 08.28.06

SUMMARY:

Due to people constantly asking me why my layers automask in my tutorials I decided to share my ghetto way of addressing the problem of things bleeding out of the movie boundaries while I'm working. It drives me nuts and so I keep everything inside a 'master mask'.
