This quarter, I have noticed an ever-growing number of students in my Animation 332 class choosing to cast aside the shackles of traditional pencil and paper and complete their assignments in Flash. Is it a divine calling towards the future of animation, a holy quest to define a new generation of animators as ones not confined by the limitations of graphite on tree pulp?
Or is it just laziness?
The jury here is still out, but one’s thing is for sure; it really does seem to speed things up. Although I used Flash for planning a lot in my Animation 202 class last quarter, I always still transferred things to pencil and paper in the end. This quarter, though, I jumped on the bandwagon and just turn in a movie exported straight from Flash. Below is the most recent animation: “Dialog I.”
