Animation in progress... [Please Comment] - Fragma - 10-06-2010

Ok so I previously made a thread showing a simple 14 frame line test of an animation I was working on. I've been doing a bit more to it and here is the outcome so far.. (Total of 47 frames).

The cat-like thing will then freeze in the air in a cartoonish cayote & road runner kind of style, then drop suddenly, landing on a rubbery cactus which will fling him into the side of the cliff.

The video so far is very short in length. But from what i could see, it looks ok.

Yeh I'm going to update the thread as I do more to it. This is what I have so far, the final animation will only be around 5 seconds long. (Which averages out to around 120 hand-drawn frames, which takes a hell of a long time to do. Especially when you think people working at Disney back in the 1930's were averaging at around 5 seconds a week).

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the feedback.

I like it but perhaps the camera movements could move be smoother? I really think it's good though.


RE: Animation in progress... [Please Comment] - Fragma - 10-06-2010

Yeh adjusting the camera movements is on my to do list. Along with adding more detail to the background, adding shadow under the character, and a few other bits and bobs to smooth it all out.

It's looking great so far!
And it's very smooth on the animation not choppy, good work indeed.


RE: Animation in progress... [Please Comment] - Fragma - 10-06-2010

Thank Copper. I'm finding that using the rotoscoping technique is so helpful with creating smooth movements.

That's looking pretty good actually. About a quarter way done keep it up.
