Description
EDIT 5/12/10- This video is featured on Cartoon Brew! [link][link]
The finished version of the previous video: [link] ! I may add shading to the characters to make them more believable when I have the time, but for now, it can be posted. And BOY did this take long! I did this without any tweening anyway- yes, the animation is produced in Flash. BGs are painted in Photoshop.
As you may have heard, Warner Bros. has hired AnimalLogic to animate his story BONE in CG- this video shows my take on how it would look if it were going to be produced in 2D. Sound is taken from the soundtrack of TellTale Games' video game of the series.
Reflecting on this, even though the movie will be in CG, I REALLY think they should have a little 2D in it! Like, maybe in the opening and/or closing credits... or maybe in a short sequence in the body of the film!! It worked marvelously for Kung Fu Panda, and Cloudy... and I see a growing emergence of traditionally-animated credit sequences nowadays!!! Someone should suggest this to him!
Here's to you, Jeff. BONE was the first graphic novel I ever read, and the first I religiously followed. I hope the movie is the best it can be!

I cannot wait to see this all unravel in the near future. This is an absolute jewel of an animated sequence Andrew^^

Currently in a Bone mood (I read the series at least once a year) and just stumbled upon this.
This animation is still excellent. I especially love the facial expressions on the Bones.

Indeed, that was me. Thanks! When a trailer comes out in the far future, I want to reanimate it in hand-drawings!

I WISH that they should have made the Bone movie in 2D animation! I don't think that they look good CG
Fantastic animation you did

Fantastic! I thought it'd be the Bones be traditionaly animated, with the people in the real world, ala Roger Rabbit, with the monsters in CGI

I love this series! I wish the movie would've been made like this, I'm questioning the fact that it'll CG :\ Great animation by the way! Really smooth, like you took it off a cartoon or something 8D

8D I love this! Bone was a great series of stories! I read through the ENTIRE thing, and loved it.

Great animation. I especially like how you did Thorn and Phoney Bone. I haven't heard about the Warner Bros. movie project, but I really wish they'd do it in traditional animation rather than CG. I just can't imagine the Bone cousins looking believable in CG.

Wow... Who ever said you can't make amazing animations using Flash was an IDIOT!
God, Im 100% with you, Please let there be SOME 2D!

Jimminy Cricket riding a corn-cob, are you serious?? It's going to be an animated MOVIE you say? That's fantastic! And it's going to be animated in 3D you say? That's awful! Maybe not totally awful, but I always pictured it being traditionally animated. Still, a BONE movie is one of my fantasies.
You did a pretty awesome job on this, too. Love how the characters move. I think the time you put into it was well-spent, and it's a shame you won't be working on the film itself.

Wow! This was done in flash?! The animation is so fluid that I didn't think it was drawn in flash. That is amazing!

it was the first major comic i ever read too & religiously followed-wonderful work!!

to be honest, i think the vibe of bone was really a 2D one. it had such awesome backgrounds, and such nice linework...it'd be a sin to 3D it...
oh hey, nice animation.

This is fantastic! I agree that 2-D seems like it would be the obvious choice for this kind of movie, but it's a good story so maybe they can pull it off!

Gah. I am still GREATLY displeased that the movie is CGI. EVERYTHING is CGI! It's driving me nuts! It's destroying Gaurdians of Ga'Hoole already (and the movie's title, AND Soren's accent, AND the plot of the movie. Booo!)
But this is just great and awesome. It makes me desire a 2D movie badly

That. Was. Epic.
I wasn't expecting this when I clicked the thumbnail... Oh no, most definitely not... oh my gosh man, let's all hope the real movie that comes out soon will be as awesome like this. I agree, even though if it's gonna be CGI, some traditional parts would be awesome. I've seen that a lot lately with CGI animated movies.
You should show this to Jeff Smith himself, I'm sure he'll be impressed.
I loved, loved, LOVED those expressions. Especially Phoney's. xD That's some top-notch animation there. Are you in the business or somethin'? 'Cuz it looks so professional. :3
