For no good reason, it's monkey day today! Here is a still from a test animation I did a few years ago. It was one of my first Flash animation tests where I tried a more untraditional approach, and let all the cutouts do the job. I really liked the results, and that helped build my confidence in the power of Flash as a tool of the future. Really all the credit should go to my good pal - Bob Rissetto - for opening my eyes to it for the first time. I also did a nice little jungle background for this - I like the loose feel that contrasts the sharp character color shapes.

Love your blog!! COol illustrations and drawings!! And CUTE dogs too!
Cartoon monkeys are always funny! Thats a cool style,Dave. You're right...great contrast in character vs background. Good eye.
I think one of my biggest struggles in flash is avoiding the cutout animation type look. I always start out with good intentions of doing it traditionally, but lose patience half way through. Inevitably, I end up doing it the cheap way.
Love to hear your thoughts on how you approach animating in flash. I could use the brush up, and it could really help at work. Pretty please?
Donkey Kong teeth rule. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise they oughta get barreled. Preferably flaming.
