The Technical Side of Animation

Fri May 15, 2009, 2:39 PM
Hey everyone, (minor rant)

As you may have noticed from my DA page I have been posting animated sequences as they come up and get completed from time to time. If you've been really paying attention you may also notice that there are some 'technical' issues with each animation.

I'm just going to lay it out on there now so people understand what's going on with these animations. I am intentionally cutting corners and getting sloppy with certain aspects of the project. If I were to create a list of "what's wrong" with the animation you are watching it would be enormous! I am not a trained animator, I try to mimic the movement in cartoons and I can never seem to get it to look right.

I've been trying to work on this project for several years now, it's not until I finally had gotten my new computer that I was truly able to make an enormous amount of frames for the animations. Yes, I'm doing traditional frame by frame animation and it is not easy and sometimes it is not fun.

I'm posting the animation updates not because I want critiques, but because I want you guys to see the -pre production- side of the animation. To be honest, critiques will de-motivate me from my project and distract me from focusing on the most important part which is, getting finished. I understand everyone has good intentions by letting me know that something doesn't look right in the animation, but in all honesty it doesn't look right on purpose because I have over 1,000 more frames to do and I really can't spend anytime going back and fixing it.

It takes time to fix it and make it look right, and when I'm trying to finish as fast as possible things do end up looking a little sloppy. When you're just one man doing a movie length animation, it's not helpful to read critiques and consider going back to fix them. I want to finish this animation within this century, and going back to fix every little thing that I guarantee people will not notice when the movie plays won't be helpful.

If you want to critique on other works like Christin Night Hulk Out, Celeste, or anything like that. By all means please do, that will let me be aware of what to avoid and fix for future pictures. But for the animation, it would be better if you just let me know if you thought it was "cool" or if you "enjoyed it" because that excitement is what makes me continue to do more and more work.

I know expectations are high on the animation and I promise not to let you down, but now you can help me by just letting me know if you enjoyed it or not. At least if people didn't like a certain scene I can always cut it out, but tweaking a scene for me is a big no no.


Well thanks for sticking around and watching the updates, more to come as I get em!
