Character animation in Flash
One of the sites I visit regularly, Cold Hard Flash, posted links to a bunch of Flash tutorials a couple months ago. This past weekend, I finally got around to watching one that sounded particularly interesting: Drawing and Animating a Character in Macromedia Flash MX 2004. It's an hour long video and I HIGHLY recommend it. Good advice on how to quickly and easily translate your physical pencil sketch into well formed shapes that aren't bogged down with too many points. Tips on keeping file sizes down. Demonstrations of some common moves, including some 2d moves that make your character look 3d.

There's also some good static tutorials on his site, mud...honey.com? mudblood.com? Mud something, it's on the first tutorial site. Good stuff! I like egg-specially how you just distort the head shape while you're rotating every thing else and it looks real! Sneaky...
