Totally Rad Action Mix Tutorial – Action Basics

So, up next in our little series is a lesson in action basics – what you need to know to use them, and what to do when they don’t work the way you expect. Little longer than the last one, but there’s some useful troubleshooting information in there. If you’re having problems with your actions, this is the place to look!

    mmmmmmm Caffine Jolt, Brownies. You need to stop referencing coffee and food.
    My 2 yr old peed on the floor when John Micheal popped up(I don’t know if he scared her or it was just too funny.

    omfg that cracks me up about your kid peeing on the floor! I didn’t know there were going to be children in the audience… maybe more bleeping next time. But if the 5yo likes it, then what the heck :) Maybe it’s just the where’s Waldo sweater…

    Ha! Entertaining Funny = good lesson!

    Was that old footage of Geddy Lee at the mic?? Good lord, dude is bugly. I saw them in concert 3 or 4 years ago and the boy can still wail. Not the most attractive band, but they can still R-O-C-K (that spells rock).

    Anyhoo, seriously, thanks for the tips….I’m off to avoid the so-called revolution. Damn, and the bathroom isn’t even clean.

    That’s totally Geddy Lee. I just threw that in there to piss Chenin off. Chicks hate Rush. I think that was a concert back in ‘76 that I found on YouTube. I wasn’t even alive then!

    Doug, I found you on Jasmine Star’s Blog and let me tell you…you are awesome!!! I’ve only looked at one video so far but i really enjoyed it and it taught me somethings that probably explains why my images look weird. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and knowledge. Oh is there a mailing list that i can sign up for?
