Fiddle,

Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band! As a matter of fact, I watched my DVD documentary about Dark Side of The Moon about an hour ago.

oh my god!!!!

i was listening to pink floyd!!!

all of the obscured by the clouds album followed by a saucerful of secrets album!!!!

i am officially freaked out!!!

[Radar_Brian]

Shine on you crazy diamonds!

[fiddlestick5]

Yeah, floyd, good stuff.. My computer's schedueled to play the atom heart mother album every morning at 8am.. I just forget that alot.. it freaks me out sometimes.

I think this is the first time I've animated that "leapinggunman" character I made...

I used swift 3d to get a handle on the perspective then I drew over the blocky figure to get the spin around (then drew over my my sloppy trace over). It's very short, but I'm pleased with the results.. I'll probably animate more of him later.

EDIT: UPDATED, about 4 times as long.... I missed a nights sleep for this animation.

[xup878]

you are a master of smoke trails!

looks good, though sometime i find your animations so fast it takes 3 or 4 watches to figure out whats going on... but thats good

[quinners3]

Yes, I liked his acrobatic abilitys and how he kind of bounced around with his gun shots.

[fiddlestick5]

Yeah, the acrobatics were what I origionaly had in mind when I created the character.. and I figured I better make an animation, because the pictures just didn't do it justice.
As for the speed, yeah, it's pretty fast.. If/when I complete it, it'll be accompanied by sound effects and scenes that tie it all together... Isa just trying to get the crazy fast action effect.

[quinners3]

I tried giving a penciled look to my little guy. His name is resemblance by the way.

I guess this forum died....

Sorry quinners I've not been posting much anims lately, I've just been bogged down with all exams and revision urgh!
I really like the sketchy style one, I think it suits him you should keep him like that
Also your 'don't draw on desks' one is great, so funny!

Fiddle, you're really good at smoke trails I love the idea of your gunman, I think it'd make a pretty cool game too
The axe one is quite cool too but not as cool as gunman

Xup, your intro thing is interesting though goes a little jerky when lots of stuff happens. I like the title on your main page with the bubbles against the background that changes colour

And urm, yeah I'll try and get an animation done soon, I've got one made but it jsut needs sound, and this time it really does need sound it won't make sense without it, not that it makes much sense really anyways lol

[Olly K]

Ok i still need to add sound to that one but here is my A2 Art final piece for my unit on animation. It's being projected onto a conceltina for added confusion as cos otherwise it's not much really. But you'll have to imagine that.
The lined background is from Op-art imfluences cos they used illusions to create a false sense of depth movement etc, blah blah i can't be bothered to re-rite all the stuff i made up in my evaluation

Here tis

(no preloader cos tis not designed for internet really but nm )

Heehee, hypnotic. I assume you're using masks for each colored body part? Dont tell me this is frame by frame?

In either case, looks sweet.

[Olly K]

Frame by frame, I wanted to use a mask but I asked how on FK and by the time it was answered I'd done it manually lol
boredom is a wonderous thing

[quinners3]

Man that seems like that woulda been impossible frame by frame, with a mask you wouldn't have to do any more work than normal.

[xup878]

wow no masks... intense!

[quinners3]

Hey I just found out about this site with some toons that really make you think:

[fiddlestick5]

I managed to squeeze one out, little by little, over the course 3 or 4 days. It's hard to tell what's going on, but it's detailed, and is one long continuous scene. I wanted to get it up to a minute, so I'm still working on it. I've incorporated an older animation in near the end, it's pretty good... actually, it’s the best animation in the whole thing...

[Kaco]

oh fiddlestick, no you didnt!

thats amazing!
very intense, awesome job!

[quinners3]

And it's a little lengthy too! I love it. I especially like how you incorporated that headshot in there.

[fiddlestick5]

Thanks!

I think I'll just keep adding onto it, you know, to pass the time...
I wonder how long I can make it...
