I Know You're not a Pigeon



This is another piece of acting we had to do it Flash class. I find Flash CS5 hard to work in. This is because building a character becomes a lot more complicated. There are a number ways I find Toon Boom  a much more effective program to tackle these sorts of animation. I believe this is because I was trained how to digitally animate in Toon Boom first, to the switch over to Flash is somewhat jarring for me... Even though I've spent about the same amount of time on both now. I'll probably be stuck with Flash more so then Toon Boom so I better get to like loving it soon.

My Character this time around is a character I'm actually going to be using for an animated online comic book I plan on start making when I have time to spare... and perhaps my own website to post it on that isn't blogger. I'll save the story for that, but that's roughly what he's going to look like. Peers have told me that he looks like Lucas from Mother 3 by Nintendo. Which I wasn't reeeeally going for. I wanted him to look like a young tanned Link... Who plays soccer.

This is also my first shot doing a quick line of dialog. My facial acting and construction are a little better. But I don't think my animation is top notch here. There is a lot I know I messed up on. I really plan to kick it into high gear in the next one, and hopefully I can fix this character build up so I can use him effectively in my animated comic book.

Clash at Demon Head

So this is an animation where we had to animate a character from a live action movie. Not really that genra, but using real people as video referance. I choose Scott Pilgram vs The World. This clip is where Julie (a very side character) is introduced.
I love how sarcastic she is.
However now that I finished Mikki told me where I could add a nice eye roll. Which I'm kinda upset that I didn't put in.
The reason her mouth dissappears half way through is because next week we're gonna learn how to do dope sheets for lip sync. So I will re-post this once I have finsihed that an her mouth matches up.
The hair bounce at the end makes me very happy.
Enjoy!
