Flash: Kirby Flip

In this animation, it took me quite a while to complete. I first used the transform tool and classic tween to make the body and parts of the Kirby to move. Then I had to create many frames in order to make the flip seem smooth and (sort of) realistic. I also had to adjust the layers in order to place the flower behind the pot and also behind the hand, in order to make it look like Kirby took the flower "out" of the pot and 'hold' it. Even though at first it was aggravating to complete the project, it became enjoyable once I figured out how to properly animate it. And for a final touch I added a linear gradient to create a ground and sky.
