My Pilot Animation AS8

[Jx]

I enjoyed using the MorphDials Script but my project file became heavy and timeline slow(Resulting in poor Animation acuracy). Because i used images for my BG render time was looong. With the introduction of Smart bone and GPU Accelaration in AS9 it could only mean one thing, Do Over

Very, very good.

Was everything done in ASP?

There does seem to be some audio issues.
And what was causing the lag of the backgrounds every time there was a cut?
Also, would like to see it rendered in a higher quality/resolution.

But overall, it was great. A lot of potential.

Best of luck to you.

PS: To everyone: why is the embed video not working properly? It didn't work for me, and it didn't work for JX here either.

Thank alot Yosemite your advise will be handy in my Do Over, thank. Well not everything, am a photoshop user too. I like refining my Backgrouds in Photoshop then take back flat images to AS. For this particular animation i rendered the foreground Subject (Charecter animation) and Backgroud separetely then composited in After Effects. I felt that would give me Extra control to add Effects and control. But the Tv Station i was Pitching it to wanted to see it withing a Week, so i hard to work at Overdrive. if it gets support then may be i can be more organised and come up with a team to develope it. The recording was done in my living room, proffesional studio were alittle expesive for me at the time.

If your pitching it to a TV station then they will understand your limitations. They will primarily focus on the content. Most people that pitch a cartoon/TV show to a network don't have finished material to present, so you're one step ahead

Let everyone here know how it goes.

Good luck!

That make me feel much confident, thanks again. I'll definately keep you updated next week

I intend to make series (10min/episode) of Educational content around the Concept, Does any one know the best Option for me selling such a product?
That is in terms of Rights and pehaps the most basic Figure such animation could be sold at.

It varies so much. And I know nothing about how things work in Zambia.

Here's a couple of articles that lay out the basics.

You generally need a Character Bible, a few episodes written, or strongly fleshed out. A solid understanding of your characters and the world they live in. And what role/position you would play if the show were to be produced.

But, as I said, you already have an animated sample.

And don't give up hope when the first door is closed on you. Persistence is key.

Continually hone your craft. When it's ready, they will come.
