I don't know much about animation techniques, but how the heck do you change the "depth of focus" in a flash animation? |

I thought that this part was well done. |

There is not focus ... just add blur to a layer... |

Attention to details. Me gusta. |

It can very well be post-production, not done inside Flash. |

Actually, I think I remember an interview with somebody who said that they were doing things nobody thought you could do with Flash. |

While Flash supports blur effects, as far as I know (in CS4 at least) they can only be applied to "movie clip" type elements. Elements have to be placed on stage as "graphic" elements in order to animate when exporting to video. It's pretty likely they split the animation up and applied the filters in After Effects. |

Flash has improved the blur system, which can be applied to sprites. |

Also, fun note, she has perfect mane forever one second, then goes back to crazy mane a few frames later, the former of which is depicted here in the second panel. |

This is easy to do in flash, I played with animated blur effects in a beginners class back at the end of 2005. Apparently you can do it selectively to different layers, that's all. Very simple. One goes from no blur to a bunch of blur while the other goes from blur to no blur. The reason you don't see this on, like, web animations is that it is CPU-intensive as all fuck and will laugh at your computer's feeble attempts to render it in real time. |
