New Animation Exchange

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!!! :eek: :eek:

Shine on you crazy diamonds!

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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 :D
Also your 'don't draw on desks' one is great, so funny! :D

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 :D

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 :D

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 :D

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.

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 :)

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.

wow no masks... intense! :)

Hey I just found out about this site with some toons that really make you think:
http://mindistortion.tk

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...

oh fiddlestick, no you didnt!

thats amazing!
very intense, awesome job!

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

Thanks! :mrpimp:

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

Amazing, 28810 minutes and not a single post...

Well, I updated my sketchapades... Not sure by how many seconds, but a good 200k. The song's different... but that's not important.

http://members.cox.net/toastybuns/temp/sketchapade.html

thats awesome man... You add alot of depth to your drawings! I love the angle changes!!!

Hey all! Sorry I havn't posted in awhile. I got a job working on this cartoon project at a Christian Camp I go to. Anyways it just got posted online so if you want to check it out go to http://www.campgloryland.com . Then go to "Fun Stuff". It's about 13 minutes long and took me roughly 3 months to complete. It still cracks me up when I watch it, so check it out! Later guys.

Dude, I looked up stairway backwards... your original song, thats crazy. heres the lyrics:
oh heres to my sweet satan. the one whose lkittle path would make me sad, whose power is satan. He'll give you give you 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad satan
If you play that certain part you had backwards and read this it will fit perfect. PLEASE put that other song back on!

How do I post a aniamtion or a picture and make it where you don't have to download it just its there on the page.?



THANX,
David_da_bomb:smoov:

Thanks mp, most of them are unused animation scraps that I tied together with transitions... so it made for supa cool angle changes.

to quinners - yeah, I got that off of: http://www2.memlane.com/jmilner/stairwaybackwards.htm

As for the song change, the animation grew too long for the song, and the sound break kind of took away from it... I'll see what I can whip out in cool edit though... maybe I can use it and tie in a seemless transition.

I can give u stairway full song then u could flip it around in cool edit and stick it in there. You could have it fade in a little before the part where the song says things backwards and have it play it to the end from there. Ya thats where I saw stairway backwards too. Sorry if my posts seem less grammatical im trying to wirt with one hand because my other hand is broken.

For images and animated gif files put the full address of the image in between [img ] [/ img] without the spaces.
When you post there should be a button with 'IMG' written on it, press that if you're unsure :)
As for flash animations you can't post them directly in your post anymore, something to do with cookies and security issues.


Quinners I hope you hand gets better soon mate!:)

tee hee gotta love little frame by frame loops. Check mine out, this is a great thread.

Nice job on the bones. yeah, fbf ani's isbeare awesome.

That there is the workings of a new leaping gunman ani.. in this he's taking on an army of impian warriors... I just thought it'd be... ummm... fun to post one of my animation's in the rough... This is what most of my animations look like within the first half hour of production..

quinners: It's not your drawing hand... is it? also, I'm taking your advice, though I've yet to post it.

Hand's better! And no, it wasn't my drawing hand.... but I don't do any real fbf anyway so it wouldn't matter to much. Gives me some inspiration seeing ur rough anim though fiddlesticks... I've always tried drawing each frame final the first time. Lets see what comes out of this...

hello all, im kinda new to this animation thing, i made a little cartoon today which is basically my first try really (apart from the actual jelephant movieclip which i had done about a week or so ago, thanks pooon for the wobblyness :D) Theres not a lot of sound in it becasue the loop i put in kept repeating over itself and i dont know how to stop it :p anywho heres the link. Jelephant :D

The red elephant makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Quinner: yeah, that's pretty much how most of my ani's start off- the one I last posted has evolved into quite the animation... but I've sort of been slow on progress.

I've been revising liny- my progress is slow, but the results look promising... even if I don't finish it- I can still use what I have as a website intro or something... I dunno.

The music's from the requiem for a dream soundtrack.

edit: Note: It 'flashes' near the end because some inbetween frames are yet to be finished... as is most of the ani. (progress SLOW)

Whoa! Fiddlesticks, Your animations are really really cool!!!!! Have u ever tried to participate in festivals or such?

The only thing I dislike about those last one, is that they are so fast for our eyes to follow, and depending on how much focus the viewers puts into the presentation, might get them under serious risk of epilletic attack... Gotta try to blink many times while watching those. ;P

Thanks, nah, no festivals... maybe someday I'll compile my animations in to one long coherent piece, but I'm far to lazy to get serious about it (and am even thinking of giving it up)... though, if I end up completing this one, I probably will.

yeah the first part was actually suppose to be fast, kind of like a fast forward through the animation I was revising- so since I'm converting it to 24 frames and giving it slow motion and the likes- making the first part coherent would give the animation a sort of redundancy.

the flashing's the result of separated frames... it's sort of a technique I have- I draw out some frames, separate them, draw in-between, separate them, draw in-between... and so on. And that's just sort of the unfinished beginnings of an animation I'll probably never complete.

So you increased the fps for this new version? Interesting way of splitting frames... I'll have to try that out too.

Yeah, it's a pretty handy technique, I managed to turn 10 frames into 190... only problem is it's tedius and kind of causes you to lose interest in your animation...

...I should really get to work on it.

Here's what I've done so far on that leapinggunam2 thing i posted a while back in the rough...

http://members.cox.net/toastybuns/temp/leap2.html

It's been like this for weeks... I'll probably get back to work on it eventually, but this is what I've got so far.

cool. that guy gets around.

Long time no see but I have to say that that new animation you have there is simply amazing. How it zooms in close for a vector-3d feel. I would have guessed that that came out of swift! Did you trace or something?! It's great!
