First animation finished.

I love this app. The mov is about 8mb
sorry about that. I'll try and and compress it down
a bit more later.

Very cool. A bit morbid, but extremely cool. Is their audio? I'm never quite sure if my computer is messed up or it's just a silent movie.

Did you do the artwork in Moho or somewhere else and import it? What if any programs did you use besides Moho? I love the style. I especially liked the explosion light effect. Simple but very effective.

Could you give away a little how you did some of the frame by frame stuff (like the finger letting go, and hand switching)?

I can't wait for more.

This version of moho is very good. Here is a test I did. This is my first Moho walk cycle.

I'm working on another walk cycle. So far I'v spent 3 1/2 hours on it and I'm almost done. Once you learn Moho your workflow gets faster.

Did you do it all in moho? How did you do the titles? Very, very nice job!

Sweet!

kdiddy13: Yes, there is audio. You may need to update your version of QuickTime.

[kdiddy13]

I'll just have to wait until I get home for the audio. Linux can sometimes be a little cranky with Quicktime.

If the animation works that well without sound, I can't wait to see it with it!

Hi,
thanks for the comments.
There is sound with it, you might need the latest version of QTime 6
to hear it.
The final edit was done in iMovie which I used to do the credits but the rest of the titles were done in Moho
The joining frames on the hand bits are done by having
a start position drawing (hand closed) and a finish position drawning (finger and thumb out).
I added two key frames where they met on the timeline.
On the hand closed I bent the finger and thumb points out a bit.
On the finger up, I bent the finger and thumb pionts toward the closed position a bit.
It's amazing how little you need to do to get a sense of flow between frames.
I drew the characters in Illustrator initially but have taken to drawing straight into Moho now.
More canine slaughter soon!

Can't wait! Did you do all of the shading of the characters, and the fuzzy lines, in Illustrator?

[peeg]

The fuzzy lines and shading was done with the layer
effects in Moho. What I love about these effects
is that they are keyframeable, both on and off
and intensity. Simple but genius!

peeg, it's a terrific, if grisly, animation. Great timing as well.

[peeg]

Thanks for the comments Barry.
There's some beautiful stuff on your web site.
All that character work is awsome.
I am not worthy

In spite of the surprise ending (actually I did laugh), your work was wonderful. Very very good artwork and animation. Congrats.
