Getting down to the nitty gritty, I have constructed a to-do list (things I have yet to do to complete my animation). I would definitely wager that the animation is more than half way complete, and while the remaining items are difficult, they can take less time.
Armatures cannot and should not be duplicated in Flash unless the movie clip or graphic ITSELF is duplicated. I had a scene in which a girl moves her arms, however, going back to the scene, the arms were missing and legs were in their place, doing a totally different motion in another area of the stage. Armatures will be used for many upcoming movements.
to-do list at this point:
*Animating anywhere from 2-7 characters in 7 scenes (complete with environments that have been, for the most part, finished)
*adding additional effects to all scenes (9 of them), perhaps shadows
*Finding a title for the film
*Implementing 4 additional (very short) so-called "legacy" scenes, in which characters photos merge into events in the story and vise versa.
*Making a transition from the hardship phases to the legacy scenes (for the sake of flow)
*Credits, which WILL BE a series of shots involving animation (incorporating end credits with a tasteful animated sequence of motorhome travel).
*SOUNDTRACK INTEGRATION, a potentially enjoyable problem, considering the different solutions
*SOUND EFFECTS...have to be prudent with this one, because the music will fade in and out, and should not be obstructed by particularly loud noises.
(some all-nighters may be coming, even though I am theoritically on schedule and realized that the sound integration process should only be a 2-day ordeal instead of a week and a half).
