Verb Phrase Animation
This project combined all the Flash skills learned up to its point, including motion tweening (used more frequently but no less aptly on previous projects), audio syncing (not nearly as important hear as in the next Flash project, but this was valuable practice), frame-by-frame animation (limited ability beforehand, quite improved after), drawing techniques (never really put to practical use before, but it became pretty easy and looked good, too), and button coding (used on all the Flash projects before and after it, so not much improvement was needed). I think using 8-bit characters for this animation was a great design decision because it made drawing objects much easier and prettier with a square brush. I also tried my best to keep the color scheme of the original internet image that had been the background so it looked as much like classic Mario as possible. I think the colors and sound effects worked incredibly well together to create a nostalgic and humorous feel for the project. This feel is a big part of why I liked this project so much, along with the freedom to choose and create that it offered.
