animation excercises

"Your good but need to be a better showman"

date: March 23, 2008

While those traditional animation exercises on this site aren't too common you can still make something even less common and make an even bigger impact on your audience.

You have some substance there already to your work but you can make your work a little more flashy to stand out above everyone else.

Thats not to say that you should make your movie purely just pretty graphics because that would be hallow and would only serve to entertain graphic whores.

It's important to make your work entertaining in and of itself since even with it's imperfections and than polish it up when it comes time to.

When your happy with your movie than that means your done and ready to show your work to everyone warts and all.

There is no tangible way for me to explain how to make something entertaining since what might entertain me might bore someone else to tears but you can still do things to make your work different from what everyone else is doing.

Coloring in your drawings will make you stand out from all the other people on this site that do traditional animation here because i notice most of the colored in animation in your short collection of animation exercises were done in flash rather than on paper.

I'm not saying piss away all your money on cels and make backgrounds but you can still ink in your drawings than color them in with markers, water color or coloring pencils.

Than you can than transfer your colored in art work to photoshop and erase any part where you didn't draw anything in and combine it with maybe a background you did to go with your drawing.

The background is just something extra to look at but it must not compete for your characters attention instead backgrounds are used to make you pay attention even more.

Your on a positive step so far. you took a year off to learn before you showed anything off.

"this has the most plot out of all the bitey movies"

submission: Waterlollies

I'm a little surprised on how long this movie this is. your other movies are so much shorter.

theres a whole lot more going than i would expected so you do show some signs of vast improvement from your previous work in aspects such as plot, drawings and animation.

you have also made an improvements on making sure your movie plays how it's supposed to on as many computers as possible.

it ran smoothly on my computer for the most part and i'm getting low on ram while there was choppiness in some parts. you can't be blamed for that since it was my machines fault.

and as i recall this is your longest movie yet and also most graphic intensive. you should maybe offer a tutorial on optimization just because this movie is actually more than worth the 12 megs of movie.

I've long outgrown being a graphic whore and i've judge your latest movie all on criteria what i consider makes up a good flash.

you've become a better entertainer and this what always comes first. I find your past works focused on graphics and design more.

and even if you nearly killed yourself making this movie i somehow get the sense that you were having fun as your making it.

Thats something you rarely see in any overly ambitious projects at all since you basically force yourself to work too hard for a finished project that few people will appreciate beyond it's nice looking drawings.

none of this felt forced to me at all and i will admit that I'm jealous of your skills like so many of the artists.

keep up the good work but your movie is still somewhat lacking in storyline but at least your making improvements.

for something thats only 11 seconds theres lots of diversity. You could be more successful doing shorter songs.
