Figures in Captivate video

May 28, 2011 11:51 AM

Hey there, I was checking out Captivate to see what it's all about, when I came upon the Captivate page. 


http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate.html


On the page there are several videos extolling the virtures of Captivate.  I loved the animated people they used.


Can anyone share where I can find those or similar figures and what I would use to animate them?  I don't want to use those exact Adobe figures but find figures elsewhere that I can animate.  Is there a place online where I can create how they look? 


I'm no artist so I can't draw the figures. 


Thanks in advance for your help.

    This tutorial could get you started if you use Flash...

    Thanks Steve for that info.  I do have Flash.   


    Let me ask a better question:


    About the figures that were used in the Captivate video,


    • Did Adobe have an artist draw them and then animate them? 


    • Is there a place online I can purchase the figures as clip art and then animate them myself?




    It's really the source of drawn figures that I am searching for as I would like to have figures in my presentation that look like me and others I work with. 

     

     

    Thanks in advance if you have any info.

    You need Adobe to answer that. Most likely they made them in-house or

    contracted someone to create them.

     

    Suggestion. Take a look at elearningarts.com. They have photographic

    character packs, rather than stick men. I use them. They are very effextive.

     

     

    You might be able to find other places that have sililar stick-man packs,

    but I didn't find any yet.
