I'm thinking about creating a digital flash cartoon.
I assume animators gets the photos of celebrities off the Internet.
I also assume that they cut and paste the heads.
I don't see any artifacts around the edges of the heads.
I got a picture from off the net and I had a very hard time tracing around the celebrities head from a photo I got.
How do these animators do this?
Ex. Jib Jab's "This Land Is Your Land", etc.
They way i would do it if i was to do it, would be to first to paste the image into flash, then go to >modify >break apart, so that the image can be changed. Then i would zoom in, trace around the object using the straight line tool, which would be easiet, then click on the surrounding picture delete it and delete the lines and you will have your image. I dont know if this is the way you would like to do it and i dont know if that is how they do it either, but its just my idea.
Thx Bucko!
If you take the image into Photoshop, you can remove all the unwanted mess and even make the edges semi-transparent if need be. Then save them as a png with transparency. Import that into Flash.
