This is was a fun little scene to do. We got lucky in that the character designs for "Crawford" seem to work very well in Flash. This scene was done with only "pieces parts" manipulated in Flash. The only thing that was traditionally animated was the sparkle cycle, and that was done from another scene and lifted.<br /><br />It's fun to be able to put glows around things and transparent shadows under things without it being a nightmare to get done.

Forgot to type in the date. If it shows up twice, I'm embarassed. Anyway, I forgot that the smoke poof was animated by hand, too. At one point, you can see where several of the dissipating poofs are duplicates which saved some time. Wrote this once. Forgot to type in the date. If it shows up twice, I’m embarassed.

The sparkle effect really make's it look sparkly even tho there isnt a large amount of glowing added to it. Bravo! the animation looks great!
