- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Dermot O'Connor and welcome to Rigging a Face in Flash Professional. This course is aimed at intermediate to advanced users, so you should be pretty comfortable with the basic features of Flash, like tweening, how to make symbols, the tool bar, and navigating the library and the properties panel. In this course, I'll show you how to create an animated cartoon face. In later chapters, I'll demonstrate techniques that will allow you to rotate the head 360 degrees, to animate expressions that blend into one another, and finally, how to articulate the head to create greater flexibility in your animation.
I think this is a very exciting course, so let's get started.
