The K.I.S.S. Principle

October 20, 2006 at 9:22 am · Filed under Note

Remember the KISS Principle?  Keep It Simple, Stupid!  That’s not bad advice as you start to really get into your Flash cartoons…   Try to simplify your cartoon down to the essentials… keep the characters simple, the backgrounds simple, minimise the movements your characters have to make, etc.

You only need enough to communicate the story - don’t overcomplicate things too much.  Think Southpark, not The Incredibles.

    haha, nooooo, that’s not quite what I meant. :-) I was, of coujrse, talking about the style of the animations and not the content of the storylines…

    Hmm, maybe a bad example, but you know what I meant. ;-)
