Hi Everyone, I think now is a good time to introduce the next excersize animation. I'm going to keep these simple so everyone can do them. Plus it leaves a lot of room for your imagination. I talked to Amber in the chat room this Sunday and we came up with this:

Mouse steals cheese

That's it

cool thats awesome!

Thanks Marc but I really didn't help come up with the idea it was all Marc.

Hi Amber, yea that's true. But you did tell me your thoughts. If you thought it was a bad idea, most likely I would have changed my mind  It might be a good reason for people to join in on Sundays just to think of a new excersize. See what everyone is missing?

  Gosh dang! I feel awful about missing the last couple weeks in the FLASH CHAT meetings... The worst part about is that they were my idea! I feel almost like a flip-flopping politician. I will be there this weekend though.

that looks awesome. Hope too see it soon.

Thanks Marc. Thanks Amber. These are so much fun.

Great idea. I hope I'll be able to participate! It sounds like fun. My only idea is maybe to make some more technical challenges like " incorporate ease in and ease out" into your animation or "animate a clip 'blind' " With the mix of fun challenges too.

Hey Nofby, there's no reason why we couldn't do that. Just remember there are a lot of beginners who might see this, so they might not know what easing in and out is. Maybe we need a tutorial on how to do the basics in animation. Would anyone want to contribute? I could post it in the "How-To" area.

Yeah, you've got a point. Also alot of these challenges will develop your animation skills too. Oh, and I would love to contribute. I've read The Animator's Survival Kit 3 or 4 times through.

I don't mind at all, stickin' to these cool challenges!
