Post 2: ROUGH IT OUT


hand drawn animation - video powered by Metacafe

Before i forget i DID NOT DEISGN THIS CHARACTER. This is Steven MaCleods of www.clockroom.blogspot.com. This character is from HIS film from CalArts this year. It's one of those designs that just roll off your pencil, really wonderful shapes! i love him Steve!

Here it finally is! In the next couple days i will go through it piece by piece and breakdown exactly how i approached this rough stage. Remember everyone, this is just a rough. There's a LOT tweeking that has to happen from here (mainly pulling things back a bit), this is just your heart and soul on the paper. the next step is refining it all in tie down. but look for my next post where i will break it all down for everyone. enjoy!

Thanks for the quick posts on breaking down a scene. It has been helping my own scene with a teapot.

Got a question for you. At the point where the bear says "we've got better chances of playing pick-up sticks with our butt-cheecks" the camera zooms in. Was this deliperate to let the audiance see the bears facial exprestions?

Actually Kevin, i think that was something MetaCafe does on it's own. I wish i could upload larger file sizes to Vimeo cuz they seem to always play stuff correctly. Youtube always speeds my animation up, and it seems like sometime metacafe speeds stuff up too. Like i said i'd do Vimeo but they only allow 30 mg and this shot is 111 uncompressed, 44 compressed. So, if anyone knows of a more reliable program that can post up to 150 MG's or so let me know!

Well for me I plan on spending the 22 bucks to get quick time 7 and beable to show my work that way. I don't know about the file size yet, I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Matt, do you have DivX Codec ? It makes the movie or video files smaller so you can upload pencil-test on vimeo that are longer. I use it always and it works good. It's also available for a Mac

Here's the link:
