Flash teaches you to make animated match Stick man lightsaber bunt

Two-person lightsaber bunt, improved a lot of production methods, in the lightsaber processing added a filter, the effect is quite good I am here to talk about my production experience lightsaber practice effect.

First, preparatory work

Template files (template.fla), and FLASH8 or later versions (because filters are used).

Second, the overall setting

First of all, my source file overall settings:

Main scene Size: 400*250

Background: A rectangle larger than the main scene, because it is easier to modify than the color of the background directly.

Frame frequency: 25 Frames/sec

Files: 2 fla Files (note: It is highly recommended that you save the source file as another file before you begin, so that you can easily test, and the test section finally goes into details.) When making, the interval time save as once, also can effectively deal with such as power failure or the sudden situation such as the crash. )

Third, painting

The character's layer is of course the classic ghost-style (hehe): Head, torso, one layer of each limb. (Tip: I'm used to putting all the blank layers of a character first, such as RL: Right foot, and then put these layers into a movie clip, the next time to redraw a character, just in the movie clip to select the appropriate layer, and then copied to the main scene is available, very convenient. )

Figure

The height of the characters in the making, I personally find it rather difficult to maintain. Because the character carries on each kind of movement, the body each part often changes the position, causes the picture the character to be shorter or more and more high. I like to put a layer on the top of the timeline, specifically for drawing guides, to help us position the character's height.

Four, Light sword

Without the dazzling effect of the lightsaber, there would be no success in the Star Wars movie series. This sentence is true or false. The focus of this article is also on this part. A careful look at Star Wars friends will find that the lightsaber in the mobile, is a fan, therefore, in the production of lightsaber flash, reasonable adjustment sector is particularly important. It is recommended to use a white fan ... Specific reasons ... Watching the Star Wars movie will know ... As the speed of the movement sped up, the lightsaber formed more and more fan-shaped.

Figure

If the lightsaber is waved in parallel, the fan of the corresponding shape is compressed with the freeform tool. The transition between the two-sector is somewhat fastidious, as long as it is not moving very fast, the front and rear frame of the fan should adhere to this rule: the end of a fan-shaped sector and the first frame of the front-side overlap.

Figure

After the lightsaber is done ... Hey, want to see the effect of it ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ No filter lens is only useful for film clips, so we have to see the final effect, we have to convert the frame of the lightsaber to the movie clip.

The method is as follows:

1, the lightsaber layer named LS1,LS2,LS3 ..., the corresponding movie clip for each layer is also named Ls1,ls2 ..... Easy to revise later.

2, select all the frames on the layer of the lightsaber, create a new movie clip (name of the corresponding layer name), copy the frame into.

3, cut out, put the film clips into the first frame of the lightsaber appears, open the layer of wireframe display mode.

4, adjust to coincide exactly, and then select the last frame of the layer, clipping frames (this operation will be used to say).

Figure

5, the layer except the first frame of all the frames deleted, and then the last frame in the original position inserted frame (shortcut key F5).

6, OK, back to the first frame, select the movie clips, add filters ~ ~ ~ I use the glow, fuzzy x,y are 8, color custom, strength 227%.

7, test to see the effect of it ~ ~ Cool not cool?

Believe that most people in the production will choose to do a good part of the test results? So let's go back to the flash-making interface again. Want to continue to make lightsaber.

You can find the following picture:

Figure

Can't find the position and size of the time sword! OK, the "cut last frame" mentioned above appears. How about pasting in the position of the last frame of the lightsaber layer at the end of the frame? Know how to continue to do it ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ No need to make the future of the lightsaber frame reconstruction film clips and then set the filter, as long as the above steps to repeat the corresponding frame added to the corresponding film clips after the next to become ~ ~ ~

V. Sound

With regard to sound, I offer a technique that I think is a good idea ~ ~ ~ First of all, the sound of the layer with "insert frame" extended very long ... How long we look at the office, with convenient on the line, hehe, and then plug the sound, this way you can see the corresponding waveform, easy to move and voice synchronization ~ ~

Figure

Yes, if necessary, add more layers to the sound, and handle multiple simultaneous sounds. Sounds can also be duplicated by holding down the ALT key, which is more efficient than a single selection if you have multiple places using the same sound (mainly because it is a waste of time to select the sound file you want to use in the Drop-down menu).

Vi. operation of Misoperation

During the production of a comparison of cattle x error operation, quite fierce ... Use components, in the adjustment of its position, do not slide the mouse too fast, so that slide to the "library" of the range, or will pop up a menu, tell you whether to turn it into components, I unfortunately chose no ... The result is that the component is gone ... And then ...

VII. Testing

My tests are typically done in the source file that was first saved as opposed to testing directly with the original source files, with the following advantages:

Can be free to add the start, stop button (this thing generally people in the work before the end, should not want to add it ...) Lightsaber effect can be completed once, convenient ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ not as in the original source file, with a plus once ~ ~ ~ Of course ... The most important thing is to prevent power outages ... I've often been ...
