I've started up work on my old Star Wars flash! I'm animating a flash recreation of Empire's asteroid chase sequence, something I've wanted to do since I first started animating. I started this several years ago in an attempt to make a full comedy/action flash of Empire, but it had fallen through. This however is being based directly off the sequence. (In fact, I played the actual scene side-by-side with what I've animated and it matches up rather well.) I'm using Flash's inner shadowing feature to keep lighting consistent, however this forces me to use smooth-looking asteroids (less a crater or two).

In other happenings, I took a film class last semester, in which I learned enough to ruing movies for me (but I still love them!). In any case, I've been wanting to incorporate what I've learned into my Flashes. I've also been passing the information on to my buddy Xiphon, and he seems to be getting it. So hopefully that'll help the both of us out.

And here's a screenshot of Pursuit of the Falcon. I have an old Alpha in the MG Mag somewhere, in case you want to see a bit more info about it.

Now that I have finally finished Inclines¹³, I need to figure out what to do next. I might go back and continue work on my Pursuit of the Falcon animation, or I might start something else entirely. I do have an idea for one more Video Game Stick Death (VGSD), but I'm not sure if it would work well, or if I want to start another time devouring stick animation right at this moment.

I need to get in a creative mood first.
