AnimaticzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzz!!!

Art work + storyboards. (headache.)

Going ahead with music video!

I have found a terrific song which I can't seem to click on the stop button whenever I play it!

The song is called "Blues and the Basset Hound", by an artist by the nick of Peptotrippin. The great thing about this piece is I am able to use it as long as I don't make any money from this project(which I highly doubt I will. hmm)

Found it on the audio portal page of newgrounds.com

Have a listen here.

Cheers!

Ideas for Project 2

Well I have been having internal battles whether or not to make a GAME, or a short music video/ animation.

1. First Idea: Music video

The idea was to be based around global catastrophe and what would probably happen(in an animation) when a world of chaos, war, pollution crosses the line.

Basically the world is in another turmoil of human selfishness and greed, which gives pain suffering to earth.
On fine day~~~ It becomes extreme to the point that it shakes hell/ earth's dark side, which unleashes a wave of dark evil that sweeps over earth and engulfs all in it's path.
So in the end? All traces of humanity is wiped out. And all the plants and eco-systems come back to life...
Resulting in a happy Planet, being rid of it's long-term aching problem.

These are some rough storyboards which I drew with Microsoft Paint. (My photoshop CS3 was being a b**** to me, and still is. I am stuck with photoshop 7.0 now.)












2. Second idea: Game
My game idea is that you are a eccentric super hero, who is seen as a menace to society.
In the game you fly through the city, dodging buildings and flying Pigeons while at the same time using your laser eyes to zap evil crime doers.

I would really love to challenge myself with the game. But the caliber of my flash coding skills are not very impressive.

-Minus points when you zap the innocent.

-Minus the number of life points when you hit into buildings and Pigeons. (Pigeons are evil)

Here is some of the artwork which I have done in regard to the game :)

Hi.

I'm just here informing anybody who opens this blog and find nothing much in here.

I have all my material. It's just that my progress work and research needs to be scanned in and sorted out before posting it in here.

And I really do not have the time for it now. Animation is taking a s**t hectic loads of my time already.

Thank you for reading this.

Cheers!



Edit: I have finished the animation, I know I could have done so much better which is a little disappointing but I know there was too little time on my hands.
My photoshop has crashed and I am unable to extract my animation steps to put into the blog. I will put them into the blog through the uni's computers.

Edit: Photoshop isn't working for me anymore... Well CS3 and CS2 that is.. managed to get photoshop 7.0 to work so i can extract the animation moves here.













These are my animation sequences that I had to painstakingly draw/ paint almost every move and load them all into flash for animation.

Art styles experimentation

At first I wanted to use illustrator to vector everything before putting them into flash for animating.
But it was quite labour intensive so I decided to use everything with photoshop for all the graphics instead.

These are the examples that I did with illustrator while I was testing wether to do it in either in vector or photoshop.
