The making and About -My first animation "be seen"

This is my first animation made ieptember and finished up to this date in december.Its not the best animation but its my first.Doing this video i had no experience in animation or using flash in which this was made.Everything was made in flash and in photoshop.The animation is mainly about a ghost who cant be seen by anyone.He roams a town into a park.He then is confronted by a girl,who can see him ,she then turns him into his true self.Doing this animation showed me how long it takes for somone to animate (sept-dec)but thats just me.The animation includes many tweens such bone tools for the walk cycle and some arm movements.Then to make arm movementsand head movement i would use classic tween.I would also use the same for when one of my character blinks .But the only difference is that i would add a mask over the eye with the layer underneath and then use the tween.After finishing my scenes in flash i would export them to aftereffects.But,i wouldn't export the whole scene in a flash movie i would export every layer(some)seperatly to after effects to apply or enlarge some effects to a layer.One of the effects i applied was wave warp and mesh warp.After applying the affects i would then make it into a movie edit the format then render and make an avi.I would do this for all of my 12-13 scenes.after doing so i would look up sound to add to my animation.(i used soundbible.com)i added "sparx,giggle,huh"sound affects.i would then download the track open it up on soundbooth edit and take out what i dont want and keep the rest.I would then export the sound into after effects where i would add to my layers and move to match the scene.After my sound was imported.I would then ad my main background music which is" rob thomas-little wonders".I then after having rendering all my scenes into avi's,all of them being in the same composition ,then i would render and make the movie.Making this first animation has thought me alot.It has thought me how the best and worst animations take so long to make.It has showed me that in order to learn animation you constantly have to ask for help and ask questions.But i learned that was ok because eventually help and improve ones skill.But while learning flash i learned that you can learn as you go.For example i made some stuff move not by using what i was thought but what i made up.In one of my scenes a baloon moves,which i made by randomly applying the bone tool to it.But applying random stuff doesnt always work .Many times even when i tried to make a simple tween or apply an armature it wouldnt work.So i had to do some movements frame by frame,which was really irratating.And some other problems i had was when my files in flash got corrupted or the format was not found.I later then learned it was better to have back ups.But even though i had problems i moved on and made what i could using simple techniques and .I plan to improve this animation in the future and have better skills.And i hope you guys enjoy.
