First I would ask what animations have you already done? Or is this a project you are jumping right into off the turnip truck? If you are a veteran then rock on! If you are just starting out I would give the advice to start small. Make some really short stuff and get the feel for it. Buy some animation books too.
As far as the blur, you can soften the edges on vectors in Flash, but I think alot of people will export the vector background and blur it in PhotoShop then import it back for the blur.
Hope that helps!

i mess around alot and make crazy zainy animations for the sakes of it (the best way to learn hehe) i practice anime alot, and i "seem" to have a talent for judging how sumthin should move over time (pyhsics) through a sequence of frames, so i guess i just gotta refine alot of stuff before the main thing(like the explosions!), but that can be doing while the story boards are doin!
just outta curiousity, silly question, but can ya save photoshop images as vectors?

you can convert any bitmap image to vector, but sometimes that's just way too complex for the computer. A blurred bitmap in my opinion would be less efficent than just using the bitmap image.
All I meant was I sometimes get grand visions but realize I'm not ready to take on a huge animation. If I bite off more than I can chew I end up not even finishing it. I'm still working my way up as well.

mixedtrigeno,
Why are you even referencing my animation? I'm not the one wanting to make Akira in flash. I was just giving friendly advice on choosing a project that is actually doable.
I am not wanting a pissing match here, but your own animation is hardly anything to rave about, so please refrain from defining what is "way too much for me".
Anyway, as I said gi3nn, start small and work up.

Thanks, man. I think the short scenes are the way to start on your big project..
I wasn't trying to imply that I was a pro. I was trying to imply that I too am in the same boat as you. And that is what is working for me! Good luck! And show us some of the stuff as you do it!

Tell me about it
Well, everyone here wants to start some thing long and good. but it never ends. I started on animation sometime 2000, and when I finished the script, storyboard, and the first scene, I lost interest in it, and started another one, and then another one, I am still in the same cycle, will let you know when the cycle ends. But yea, it was not a waste of time, I did learn many things about animation while in that cycle. So, go for it, and if you don’t finish don't be surprised.

It's an online comic but they've made a short trailer in Flash that you can look at- it's got explosions and most of its objects and backgrounds is vector- the best example I can give you. If you check out the tutorials on the site, they show you how they create complex vector backgrounds and stuff. If you want more examples, check out the actual comic and see it for yourself...

thats just cool at its coolest, hehe... that is exactly the style i am aiming for... 10 happy points to you! thanx
