ANIMATION TUTORIALS
bouncing ball Lesson 1: The Bouncing Ball - This is the first lesson taught to an animation student. This tutorial breaks it down into a simple series of steps, and shows the basics of flipping and rolling paper.
walk cycle Lesson 2: The Walk Cycle - Most people can't wait to make a character walk. It's advanced, but I've tried to simplify it, showing the 4 main poses of a walk cycle, and how to build the walk around them.
a cartoon mouth Lesson 3: Dialog - A very simple approach to creating effective dialog, using only six mouth shapes.
FLASH ANIMATION
a cartoon mouth Lesson 1: Walk Cycle - how to animate a walk cycle in Flash, using shape tweening and motion tweening inside nested symbols.


NOTE: Got any questions? Done any animations based on these lessons?
