ANIMATUUUUNNNNN!! Finally, after all the watercolour commission work and exams and everything, I made another animation!!
I had the idea for this sketched out in my sketchbook of win months ago but only some days ago I opened Flash and was like: ANIMATING FTW. Today morning I had nothing but the sketch and the first frame finished and it seemed like an impossible task to complete it by tonight but..I DID it!
Hehe it was quite a challenge. I mean just look at the dandelion seeds..it took me ages to draw them all and to make them look as if they were really flying. It's a lot more work than it looks like! The frames play by in half a second but they took hours to draw. I also really kept the animation principles in mind, like squich and stretch and exaggeration All in all there are 60 frames. I'm really pleased with how fluent it looks, especially the tail and flower movements.
Please comment if you like it, I'd love to hear your opinions and maybe suggestions for further animations...?
And no, this is not *SilentReaper's Stupid Fox although I really like her artwork :3 He's just a random cute fox cub.
May put this into my animation portfolio, who knows. It seems quite alright.
Used: Flash Professional and Wacom Tablet. 5 hours.
Please don't use it as your icon or whatever, I forbid it!
Slow in, Slow out. Secondary. Framing, timing..... Perfect! ^_^ I love how fluid this is! xDDD And I know, trust me, how long it takes to animate things..... Especially traditionally.... But i just have to add that if you could have added more lighting/shading onto the cub........ He looks flat, but his cuteness takes over! xDDD Peace!
Aw thank you so much for the sweet words! Awyiss he indeed looks quite flat, I just can't bring it upon myself to add 3d-lighting in a vector program like Flash, that would take way too much time and I'm lazy hihi Thanks again!
yeah well, flash is a tough cookie but i understand xD the other way of this could be much like my korra animation: draw each frame and add light for each frame in photoshop, but that would take ages too xP we are all lazy when it comes to 10 hrs of 2D animation heheheh xDDD Youre welcome!
Ugh I really don't like switching between Flash and Photoshop, especially since FLash is all 24FPS and Photoshop has this weird clumsy timeline. And editing frame per frame takes SO LONG. I wish I had an assistant who would do all that unpleasant stupid for me hehehe
lol i think its the fact that i have been using photoshop and you have been using flash so you are more comfy on it and i am in photoshop xD yeah the timeline freaked the bejesus outta me when I saw it at first, but since you know how to animate traditionally, the timeline is really not all that confusing once you break it down. I swear I TOTALLY feel the same way about having some assistant to edit the in-betweens xP
