My Cartoon for Dummies


















I always wanted to make a cartoon in Macromedia Flash but got too frustrated trying to understand the software. I hate to read manuals, I'm a hands on kinda person. Somehow I manage to actually create a 60 second cartoon of myself. I didn't do it the professional way. I did it my way....That's why I named this "My Cartoon for Dummies."

It only took me 15 minutes to draw my cartoon in circles, triangles and squares in an inexpensive software called Printshop for Macs. Then exported it into Macromedia Flash, which I have no clue on how to use. Then I couldn't put voice or export it out to make a movie. I got so frustrated that I used Snapz to copy the movie and then import it in iMovie. Anyone out there that knows how to use Flash and all that jazz I tip my hat to you. It takes a genius to be able to figure this stuff out. I just don't have that in me.

It only took me all day to make this (LOL)! That's why I'm calling this "My Cartoon for Dummies." It's really awful but hope you get a laugh out of it. At least I didn't give up like I usually do when I'm frustrated.
