As you may or may not remember, I've been having a devil of a time finishing this animation about my cat Looshkin taking drastic measures to curb the kitty population. Well, again the concept has evolved to something simpler, and more realistic in terms of completion. As I have a really hard time understanding the ins and outs of Flash software I am taking a primarily frame by frame approach to the project, as not to be daunted by the bone tool and movie clips and tweens. They are still in there, but less so.
The new storyline is basically Looshkin's antics as she playfully chases a butterfly, only to eat it at the end. Here are the images I am using:
Still awful. But I am kind of embracing the primitive awkwardness at this point and find it kind of comical. Clearly I am some sizing issues in this iteration of the project. When I made the graphics in Illustrator and transfered them to Flash I thought that they were too big on the stage, so I started making them smaller. But between alternating going about sizing adjustments on the stage and from the symbols themselves I just kind of catapulted myself into a vortex of sizing problems which got me to the ridiculous animation you just saw. Hopefully with some of Leons help it won't be too difficult to correct.
