Now that I have the final design for my cat character, I decided it'd be best to try and animate him using a light-box. Last time I attempted to draw the character jumping on and off screen, however this time I wanted to make the character walk on and off screen. Here is the result:
It's only a 4 frame walk cycle as the main focus on this test is importing and embedding the video file onto the flash file to give the illusion that the character is walking on a piece of paper in the room. So using the light test I produced earlier I added another sheet of paper in the center of the room and attempted to embed the character walk cycle onto it, this is the result:
The result was successful, so far. Embedding the character meant I had to convert the MP4 version of the walk cycle to a FLV so it'd work and be manipulated in Adobe Flash, however, I noticed that I cannot edit the image further, for example: I cannot 'skew' the image nor can I 'distort; the image like I had hoped. Because of this, I will have to do a few more tests using various editing software to see if the effect that the video is on a wall that isn't straight on can be achieved.
