Nothing matters but the weekend...

From a Tuesday point of view...


Well, it would seem one project is officially finished for me. Exposure sheets for "El Superbeasto" are done and gone. "The Amazing Adrenalinis" also wrapped up for me about a month ago. The last animatic left my computer and headed for the cybor universe which is where most of the animation these days is sent, if it doesn't make to to Asia that is. Even then, it has to ride the information super highway to get from A to B. Don't know if that's really good or bad, so far, the judges are scoring very low for Animation done nowadays, especially "digital" animation. Oh well, will save that for another day :-)

Currently having fun doing exposure sheets for "Robotboy".

Certainly do miss the good old days of actually using paper and pencil to make funny drawings that move. Bah, there I go again...saving that for another day...

Here's a not so good sample of a dog walking, done the "old" way using a "new" way....which is to say, keying it out, in rough, (thus the blue lines), then doing inbetweens, and "exposing" it on 2's...all in Flash. My "avatar" was done the same way... which by the way, is actually Li`l Squid, although horribly off model hehehe.

The dog by the way, is Stanley, and that walk is a work in progress hehehe. You'll see, I'll update it as I work on it more...

I don't get it. In the dog animation why does the ground plane appear and disappear? I think you have mistakenly translated the pupils into the eyeballs on a key or two because they disappear and reappear. The texturing on the nose has the same problem. The movement is very nice though. Can you take a screen capture of the graph editor so we can see the curves?

Ok, ok, so it's not that funny, maybe I should have done another drawing of you...wait, they weren't that funny either....

That damn kid and dog have been running so long you'ld think they would have gotten where they're going to by now....

Every time I load up the page, they aren't running...maybe they are just trying to impress you...
