Patrick- Thanks! And thank you also for replying to my emails : D Ben- Haha thank you so much! I wrote everything down in my notebook xD Hey, even if you plan on cleaning everything up in Flash would you still try to scan your drawings or just shoot a lo rez video on Toki or whatever?

Hey all, this is a question geared towards anyone who's ever completed a film! xD 

This year I'll be putting together my first film, cleaned up, colored, all that jazz. For the years before they've turned out to be nothing more than fancy pencil tests.

I know my life would be 100% easier if I just animated in Flash like all the cool kids but I just do it so much faster and more fluid on paper so I'm stuck with that for now ;3;  

 

There are a couple elements to my film that I would rather animate in Flash (bushes rustling, bugs buzzing, etc). 

So I was wondering if anyone had any experience in mixing mediums of animation or if I should just keep everything on paper and.. 

Basically I have no idea what I'm doing and I'd appreciate any input ;__; I know Flash and Photoshop and I'm pretty decent in After Effects but I have no experience in compositing whatsoever and I'm scared ;___; 

 

Thanks for your time! 

 

 

EDIT: A couple notes about my film - For the class we're required to do EVERYTHING in 2-3 cuts. THAT'S IT! The animation has to be keyed and in-between and finished in 4 weeks (now 3 weeks). So I don't really have much time for planning and preperation. @w@ I plan on just trying to clean this up and make it look nice over winter break.
