Flash Animation

A weekend introduction to Adobe Flash Professional.

Who is this course for?

This course is aimed at artists, designers and developers who are new to Flash and want to get to grips with the user interface and learn the basics of animation and interactivity.

Assumed Knowledge

As this course is aimed at beginners all that is assumed is that delegates are familiar with computer use, the web, its terminology and how Flash is used within this environment. Drawing skills not essential. PCs and Macs are available, although you may not get a choice as to which you use. Turn up early!

What you will learn

You will learn how to use the flash design interface, create engaging graphics, text and animation; and build interactive content.

Please do bring any materials you’d be interested in working with along with you on Sunday. Bring content on a thumb drive or DVD/CD.

You are welcome to bring your own laptop as long as you have a fairly recent edition of Flash installed. Most machines at OFVM are running CS5, with a couple running CS4.

Please contact us if you have any queries before the course.

I worked for the BBC for 21 years, first as a camera assistant, then as a cameraman, then Senior Cameraman before becoming a Freelance Lighting Cameraman.

I’ve worked on every type of TV programme in studios and on location. I’ve gained invaluable experience by working with many great artists and directors. I also learnt much by working with well known and respected cameramen, Ron Green, Jim Atkinson.

I now spend my working time as a Lighting Director, Lighting Cameraman, Cameraman, either in a studio, on location or on an OB. Because of my great experience and skills I easily change from planning large lighting rigs, as a Lighting Director, being Camera Supervisor on a multi-camera shoot to operating a Z7.

I also lecture and run training courses.
