You might not know this, but with a little ingenuity you can use Macromedia Flash to create high-quality, low-cost animated films or to easily add animated titles and motion graphics to your film and video projects. While most books covering Macromedia Flash MX focus on how to use the program for the Web, Flash for Film and Video sets itself apart by targeting animators and film and video editors looking for an alternative to expensive, complicated professional animation software.You won't learn about HTML, ActionScripting, or other topics of interest to Web designers; you will, however, get detailed explanations of video standards and formats, animating to sound, and using Flash in combination with Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and other graphics software. You'll also get tips and tutorials on squeezing the most out of Flash artistically with instructions on inking digitally in Flash, inking and painting in Photoshop, creating traditional animation looks in Flash, and more. Plus, a companion CD-ROM includes inspirational video clips created using the techniques in this book so you can see just what you can do with Flash. Whether you use it as a start-to-finish filmmaking tutorial or simply keep it handy as a valuable desk reference, this unique guide to Flash has information you won't find anywhere else.
