Flash Potential

Flash is a ever growing form of media which started off as a basic internet animation tool which was orginally created for adverts and websites for intergration with programs such as Dreamweaver. Now flash has grown into something more than anybody could have predicted. Flash animations are now used for full length Tv programs and adverts. Flash also has inspired massive communities on the internet to try their hand at animating with sites such as newgrounds. Here is my Newgrounds account 'Roboface3001'Animators have become world famous for their work in flash and can now earn a living from their work. For example Egoraptor, creator of the awesome series makes a living through his sponsors at newgrounds and merchandise from his animations.

Weebl is also another world famous animator who created the hit series Weebl and Bob. He has made adverts for Anchor butter, Fanta and recently created the 118 directory service advert.

This shows the potential of becoming a professional Flash animator. Flash from a technical stand point also has its advantages. The ability to see a real time stream of your animation is particularly useful as it prevents unnecessary compiling. You can also see a stream of your timeline, allowing the user to create animations in sync with sounds or music. Full length films and music videos can be created because of this.
