Over at School of Scratch we are gearing up to learn the BoomFlare.
Sometimes before I teach scratches, I have to learn them! Here’s what that looks like and a rough breakdown.
Video Background
I’d spent some time learning using a diagram and this was my first go at locking it down slowly.
Note: the diagram in the video has extra sounds at the end, ignore those. I’m doing the first 12 sounds only.
