Hi.

I animated this a while ago, but sped it up, added sound and made it widescreen recently:

Fun little short. Inspired by old 8-bit games.

I'd be curious to know if anyone would be interested in making a small payment, say, $5.00, for access to the Guy & Girl animation file?

I get asked every now and then via email to share AS files. South Africa's just received PayPal so I'm considering putting up some material online so anyone wanting to see how I put things together in AS can do so and make it worth my while too.

I'm not sure how this would be done but I imagine PayPal would have a system in place to make this kind of transfer easy-ish?

You can add a paypal donation button to your website, or a real payment button. There's a manual about it on the paypal site. All you need is an account.

If you add a payment button, then you're basically an online shop, so you have to take care of your local laws about that - give your real name and address and such stuff.

Five bucks seems very reasonable. Would this be the whole animation or the basic setup? Is this really just one file? :shock:
And the usual proviso applies, right? (Eg., for learning purposes only, no sharing, no rendering for publication, etc.)

I, for one, would be interested in purchasing the file. PayPal sounds like a good way to go. I will watch this forum for an announcement when you have it set up.

Your work is very inspiring. It will be great to be able to look inside and see how you put your things together.

Good luck with this venture!

Seems to be working.

Kewl. I'll be rich, RICH! Well, I'm using a free demo from E-Junkie that'll expire in a week.

I've also included the license I'm using on the page:

If you're wondering what the files are, they're all for this animation:

Size of zipped files is about 380 kb.

I went to your link to purchase the files but could see no provision for downloading or otherwise acquiring the zip files. The links on the page lead only to the video itself, to Creative Commons, or to PayPal, or to your main website.

The PayPal link works fine. I had almost finished paying when I realized that I did not know how I was going to get the files.

Hi Gleeful. Thanks, I understand the download should start immediately or you get emailed the download link. Could you please try? One way or another I'll make sure you get the files, I promise.

If it'll make you more comfortable PM me your email address and I'll email the files first.

I knew I could trust someone who makes such great animations so I went ahead and made the PayPal purchase.

I immediately received an email that contained a link to a record of my purchase. This in turn contained another link for downloading the file.

I have already opened the file. WOW!! I am going to have a lot of fun learning how you do what you do with AS. I know that your skills and talent were not included in the files :wink: I just hope to learn more about Anime Studio by studying them. Thanks for making the files available.

I think you will have more sales if you explain the purchase and downloading process on the front page.

Good luck with the venture. All animators should have lots of money.
