Walking character is surly one of the hardest things to animate.
In this short tutorial I would like to show you that it doesn’t have to be that hard:)
The tutorial is aimed for Flash, but you can get the idea for any other animation authoring program.

Meet Jo&Mo.

Those two nice criminals will do their time helping you understand the way the walking is done in animation.
There are several ways how to animate a walking person - I’ll try to cover them all.

I’ve wrote another guest post on snap2objects.com site.

It provoked a little discussion about the subject - you can check it here.

We’ve made another nice flash game we would like to share with you.

It’s good, old puzzle game.

You can play it here, or download the game and post it on your site or blog.

You’ll find the configuration file (called puzzleConfig.xml) within the archive. By editing it (with any text editor - notepad will do) you can change the image and decide how many pieces should there be (you just need to input how many elements should there be in row/column).

If you would like to check the Fla file for learning purposes - please send us a request by email or in comment.

Enjoy the game:)

We’ve bring to life new virtual character.

His name is Valto, and he’s a host of valto.fi site - a part of Suomen Lasten Parlamentti (Finnish Children Parliament).

Valto is a funny moose that teach children about democracy and citizenship.

We’ve also created Valto, his younger sister Taimi, some layouts for Valto.fi and SLP sites and few educational flash games as well.

I’ve made a guest post at snap2objects.com about “personality” in webdesign. You can check it here.

Here’s a little tutorial about how I do flash cartoons. I have to say that I didn’t go to any art school, flash school or whatever. I bet there’s a better way to do it - but I’m pretty happy with mine. (if you know how to do it better - I would love to hear that).
For this tutorial I’ll create Taimi - a little moose girl. Ok - so here we go:
