  Create an exciting Flash animation with your own characters!

Learn traditional methods to develop characters and ideas, and then create a short animation in Macromedia Flash MX. Learn how to draw thumbnails, quick rough sketches, and how to develop storyboards, brainstorming many ideas before settling on a final concept. We'll also explore using sound to complement your animation.

You will create a one-minute animation using your characters (or existing characters and sounds from a library), which you will be able to take home on a CD.
