This is probably old hat to the experts, but I just figured out that I can do my storyboard in AS. Not only that, but by putting the storyboard frames exactly where the final shots will be, I can use the storyboard as my first draft, and then just start animating each scene right in the storyboard file, until the whole thing is done.

Here's how I'm doing it. At the bottom of the page, after all the explanations, is the first part of the storyboard for my first big (3 minute) project.

Hi Gary

I just wanted to let you know I am enjoying following your
progress with animation. Your logical sequencing of
your project is very impressive! I am a scatter brain
and have trouble with anything more than 240 frames long!!

You sure have added a new dimension to this formum, Gary. ( ...and I don't mean three dimensions.
Thanks. I agree with toonertime "Your logical sequencing of your project is very impressive!"
Great work! I bet the efronteir manual won't be anywhere near as comprehensive.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Looking back over the tutorials, I can see I left a lot of things out that would be of assistance to newbies. I'll probably go back and add some more basic stuff later.

Great job Gary on that site of yours! I said it before but you put me to shame. I have to get cracking on organizing all of my "advanced" tutorials.

Having said that I would like to offer a small suggestion:

Links to off site locations.
I use Firefox and love the tabs. In many situations (like here on the forum) a link launches a new tab or window. I click it, read it and close it and immediately go back to the previous page. I clicked on that "Reaper" link and then closed the window... and of course closed the whole thing.

You may want to make external site links open a new page so the viewer doesn't lose thier spot on the tutorial page.

Thanks for those nice remarks.

YES! I should have them be in new tabs. How did I overlook that?
I'll take care of it right away.
