My advice to whoever want to do this kind of animation for a
client...charge them very good, this looks actually a lot of work,
doesn't matter the kind of programs you might use.
Respects.

another way would be to use final cut...video the dancing/movement
on a green screen, bring it into final cut, mask the dancing with
the green screen effect and make the background black, then reverse
the image so the body was black and the background was white.
there's your video to convert to a flv or keyframes. it might make
the task a little easier than using quicktime or photoshop &
illustrator. it will also keep your file size down if you leave it
as a video...this is all in theory as well. I've never actually
done it. maybe off topic, but can a flv be given a transparent
background and be used as a mask? that might help as well.

In Theory, I've actually never done something like that, is simple:
1. convert the movie to quicktime (use qtpro)
2. export as a jpg sequence of images.
3. import into illustrator and do the graphics there. Use live
trace in the imported images, then use expand and you'll have the
paths.
4. export the sequence of Illus Paths to flash and there create
the movie clips and you could use a time line if you want this a s
a flv or use behaviours like tellTarget(fl8) in any of the MC
timelines in order to have this in this own time.
5. add the sound
5. export the swf and pray.(heheheh) is joke .
This is the way i'll do this in Theory, I've never actually done
something like that.

Hi,
we did something similar some time ago, but for a small sequence
only.
We wore black clothes and were filmed in front of a white wall.
We did
post-production in Photoshop and Illustrator. We used actions (batch
processing) in Photoshop and converted Selections into Pathes which
could be exported/imported to Illustrator, where another action
converted them into fills and saved to single-frame SWF files. These
files were imported into Flash as sequence. And there you are..
You can then use these shapes as masks and have nice effects this
way.

Hi,
I have a project with animation of a person, and the client is
in doubt
about real person animed or silhouette like the one in
http://u10.iriver.com/.
Do you know what are the best techniques for both? The iriver
example, what
technique do you think it uses?
My weakeast point in Flash is animation, and the design company
will take
care of it, but they asked me that cause they know nothing about
Flash.
Anyone has a tip for doing those differente animations?
Thanks!
Helios
