“10 Things No Animator Wants to Hear”
RenderDigimania has a good article about the “10 Things No Animator Wants to Hear”
“I don’t have any concept art or storyboards yet, but a story outline will do, right?â€
No, it won’t. You wouldn’t ask a voice actor to do the gig without a script, so why ask somebody whose job it is to bring the images to life to do so without any bloody reference materials? We will just end up blindly firing out ideas, only to watch each one shot down, as we slowly and painfully try to find out what the hell you were actually looking for in the first place. Animators can do many things, but mind-reading isn’t one of them.

Attention All Flash USERS!
ATTENTION Adobe Flash USERS who use extensions: Very important! Yesterday Adobe released a new version of Flash called Adobe Flash CC 2015 but unfortunately it does not have an Extensions Manager to go with it yet. It ALSO will delete the Flash CC 2014 program UNLESS you use the advanced installer to retain an older copy of CC while installing 2015 so you can check out the new features but still keep your add-ons working. If you do not use that option, 2015 will wipe out older versions of Flash installed by default. If you don’t use any extensions then ignore this notice!
