animation
Posted by Dan Tyler on January 12, 2009 at 10:47 pmHello,
I was viewing Mr Larsen’s rolling rig video, and wondered – are these animations all drawn(created),
or are some actual photos?
Since I am very new to flash, I do not have a clue.
Can you animate photos or are they all graphics?
If some are photos, How do you do it?
I am very curious.
Thanks

I would assume he built it in Photoshop by taking an image of a tractor and removing the tires and placing them on their own layers.Did you mean to type Flash?
It’s an After Effects tutorial.
Flash doesn’t use expressions (javascript-based), it uses Actionscript, something that would have to be written very differently. Flash can import raster (photographs) graphics as well as work with native vector graphics.Are you wanting to learn AE, Flash, Photoshop, all of them?

January 13, 2009 at 1:28 amI thought it might have been a photo, but I wasn’t sure.
Yes, that’s what I meant. Sorry, half asleep today – back to the 4:30 am start to the work day.
All of them would be nice – but I won’t kid myself to believe that’s possible.
It seems like it would take a lifetime to learn these things.
Thanks for the answers
any and all help

I appreciate the valuable insight there, but I don’t remember ever saying the tractor looked “cool”.
It is customary (or at-least I thought) when being polite, to sometimes compliment before asking a question. Obviously the rig is probably something I will never be talented enough or knowledgeable enough to do. My real question was if it was a drawn graphic
or a photo. And if it was a photo, how do you begin such a thing? I did get some help from Mr Jason Milligan, which I very much appreciated. I don’t know if I mistook your response, or if I aggravated you with my question. If I misunderstood your response, I apologize. It just seemed like more a critique of my question, than a response. If I aggravated you with my question, I again apologize. I am brand new to after effects, so all of my questions are probably rather stupid. Also in the other reply In the after effect basics forum, you said:
Contact the guy, why don’t you? I looked before I entered the question and did not see a way to contact him directly. If I missed it, it wasn’t on purpose.
I guess I just did not come straight out with the question I had. Sorry about that. I do not mean that sarcastically, I really do apologize.
Thanks
Dan
