video Animations I gone done.

[Hansel 1,512]

One of my last assignments at uni was to make a short reel of some of the work I did on the course.

It has both my oldest, and (almost) newest work. It was supposed to be 90 seconds long, but I found one of my first lip-sync tests from my second year and stuck it in after the credits. 

 

Boring sort-of technical stuff you can skip:

 

- Character animation, cleanups, colour, and shading are done using traditional cel animation in Flash.

- Effects, composting, and motion graphics/cut-out style animation are done in After Effects 

 

Anyway, I had fun. Clicky on the Vimeo link for HD.

Oh God, there's actually so much nostalgia for me in this...

It's also on my Youtube.

Now this thread is a thread that does not have enough replies. 

 

Let me just start by saying that I would never be able to make an animation that good. It looks very smooth and realistic, like you put a lot of effort into it. All I can do is make some stick figure run across a surface and blow up.

These are very well done, I want to see some more. You caught my interest at 'Clockpunk'.

 

Is it alright if I commission a Steam Powered Giraffe animation?

Thanks. I still have a stupidly long way to go, but three years ago I didn't even know what a keyframe was, so at least I'm getting somewhere.  

 

Also, that really ain't half bad, the explosion actually works rather well. The only thing I can really suggest is that you add some follow through when he stops running, but he's a little stick figure, so I guess that might be a little hard to do. You have some slow-in at the start of the run, which is nice, so perhaps adding some slow-out before he stops might also work. But, maybe the sudden stop at the end is what you were going for, which is fine.

Clockpunk is best Punk.

 

I'd like to do something like that (SPG <3), but I don't have the software for it at home. ._. I have Flash (And Toonboom, which I still need to learn how to use  ), but I don't have After Effects to create motion graphics like the Clockpunk thing, or anything else for post-production and to actually create and edit videos with. 

 

Also, I think I'm supposed to be looking for... something... I can't quite... remember...

Oh right, a Job. I need to go out and get a job.

That.
