Learning about Animation

Let's see... I started learning about animation... :D I've had Flash for 4 years now and I did not know how to use it really. Here's my first animation using Adobe Flash CS4.

Sandbags

Forty individual frames of simple shapes took me about 15-20 minutes. The whole thing is about 95 frames I think. By my estimates, an actual decent animation of the same length would take about 1-2 full work week(s). :o

After I drew a really wonky cartoon face I drew this, so it's one of my first free-hand Flash drawings. This was what I originally first tried to animate.. ahem.. too many lines!
