Description
My 1 year and 2500 follower celebration flash [link] for Firestarter Spitfire. Sort of a semi-continuation of Escape (link to it at the end), and features a bit more frame by frame animation than a lot of my previous projects. Had a lot of fun with this, now that I know what I'm doing :VIf you liked the animation, why not like/reblog the tumblr post? Which also a list of the featured blogs for the curious? [link]

I'd really love to know how your able to use such high density blur/glow effects without making it lag too much... it's really screwing me over with this flash i'm working on >_< btw, beautiful work<3

First, thanks~
Second, effects always lag more in timeline preview than they do after export (the big multicoloured explosion slows playback to like 7fps in timeline). If you really want to get a handle on what your effects look like, test the scene. Third, there's tricks for making it look like you're using more filters than you really are - shape tweening (like in the aurorae here), colour tints, fades and property tweening all take load off your filters. And fourth, I guess it's a question of getting a feel for where the limits are. There's probably some mathematical formula for it, but as a rule of thumb, try to minimise the amount of work that the filters are doing - fewer edges to blur/glow around, less screen time, less layering and movement of blurred objects, etc. You also shouldn't need more than 2 filters on anything at any given time, and I can't think of any case where 2 blurs are necessary.

It's amazing how subtle hair movements can make a huge difference in how smooth a sequence looks

Groovy dude, totally dug it and loved the animation that rolled with the lyrics.
5/5, I danced in my chair to this kinda 5.
Also, on my 7th rewind.

Do you have a YouTube account? I need to fav this a dozen times and then follow you.

I just have an old one for playlist grabbing, and while I would make one for posting animations, getting these things from Flash into video format is a pain. Sorry!

Well darn. Curse you, Adobe. Curse you. I'll just watch you here then.

It's not really Adobe's fault actually, they bought Flash from Macromedia and inherited all the weirdness that comes from a standard invented in the early 90's. It's a minor miracle that Flash is even still relevant!

It feels like it could be an opening to an anime.
