good characters, perhaps there needs to be a point or a moral to the story, people need to feel like they've acomplished something by watching your work.

you have nearly three minutes of credits for a five and half minute clip. no more said there.

Here's something constructive. The best piece of animation you had in that sequence was from 2:35 to when the credits roll. The character looking up whilst panning up over clouds rolling past works really nicely and portrays a good amount of emotion. Around this kind of emotion you can build a stori...

wow, thats really cool, i like it alot

thanks for the tips, i bought the real high def art and ill give it another go with several more layers, some image bending and more wave like movement.

thanks!

excellent thought, thinking outside the square, i like it.

my computers been trying to render 6 seconds of animation for around 7 hours now, its nearly finished.

its not a slow computer either (iMac Dual Core 2.4GHz)

cmooooooon!

thanks for the tips, i tried exactly as you said, and it looks 100x better, sadly my computer is now groaning under the stress of having to render 500-1000 png images which is taking it about 50 times as long as a tiny little vector... anyone know if you can set up a render node for anime studio? so...

cheers peeps

A play around with Anime studio and Final Cut Express (the latter, im just learning to use and looks really simple) I really like how quickly one can rig up a set of images in Anime Studio and get things started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncnw3B24Noc i cant help but put some credits at the end ...

thanks

i've always found that i spend most of my time tinkering when i own a pc... updating things, virus software etc.., deciding between a dozen different products that all do similar things, demoing each one... upgrading hardware, drivers, cleaning my registry, running defrag utilities... buying a mac m...

hey tony, a website sounds good, but i think it may be too early for that, people will probably get sick of the characters before the movie is finished... when i have a lot more animation done i may throw together a short trailer, but thats a way off yet... for now i'll just post bits and pieces and...
