« 09.09.11 - UPDATE! »
Hello.
Sorry about the lack of updates for the last 3 months or so but I've been working on something big. I've said I was going to begin animating my cartoons a number of times before and ultimately ended up just dumping the idea and reverting back to the usual horseshit... but this time I'm all in.
I've never once used Flash or ever animated anything, let alone traditionally frame-by-frame but I always knew I wanted to do it. Flash cartoons look terrible and they all seem to have that awful puppet look which scared the hell out of me when I decided to use Flash. I then realized it's not the program, it's just lazy people looking for shortcuts and not doing the work. Well, considering it's been almost 3 months, I can tell you that I'm doing the work... and it's a slow goddamn process so just be patient.
This first time around I am animating a cartoon that I already did, it's in the archives but I'm not going to say which one. It's the same idea just longer with more jokes. This production would be a lot of work even for a fully functioning animation studio, let alone just me... especially when you add in the fact that I'm not yet working on it full time... I still have to do freelance art to live.
Anyway, no one wants to read so here are some quick pencil tests I did in Flash. But remember,you overly criticising bags of shit: this is my first time using Flash.
More updates soon.
I'll be updating a lot more frequently with news and images of the production (concept art/storyboards/lines tests/etc.) on my Twitter so if you're into animation production you should follow me.
Thanks.
