There very well may be a comic upcoming, and maybe in the future, I'll have animated shorts based on the story....just not complete episodes.

Always a pleasure. Sorry I don't have time to comment so much, but I do love all of your work, and I always appreciate your comments. Heheh.

oh my gosh where do I start. . . first of all, gorgeous character. The way you make em move is awsome. Second. Where do you get these voices?? free sound you say?? may I have the link The music at the beginning and the sound effects you had in it was very nice. But I can see there where moments when you didn't have sound. But finding sounds for everything isn't easy. May I also ask which part in the clip you used your voice? It would be interesting to know what you sound like lol The pace it moved at was perfect. I realy loved the running scene. Plus it had its cute moments. My fav was the rabit biting the foot. It was cute how the big cat (lion or tiger) opened its eyes to see the rabbit once again.

So the character developement is coming along nicely. I liked how there where sad bits too. Nice work Jess. I am realy enjoying this and look forward to episode 2

Heheh. Thank you, Christine. I actually advertised on the NG forums, and I got tons of pm's with people wanting to do voices. I felt bad when I had to tell some folks "no." Yeah....there's good response at NG. Even after I was done finding the voices, people still kapet sending me pm's xD Thanks.....I've been trying to make my own music for the movie. Trying to keep it as original as possible. xD I got the sound effects at the free sound project. Yeah, unfortunately, I haven't been working much on the foley aspect. I'll do that when I'm finished. Heheh. I play the main character in the story, and I'm the narrator. Strangely, of all the voice offers I got, only guys were the ones determined for roles.
I'm glad it has a good pace. *was worried about that, actually* Heheh, I don't think any movie is complete without its cute moments.
Heheh. She is a lynx...well, actually a bobcat, but I'm sticking to lynx.
Thank you so much! *hugs* Yay! *rushes to finish and get to part 2*

oh cool thanx buddy. And I will have to remember that the large cat is a lynx. I like your voice. Me I sound like a yobbo. I might get some actors for this one I am working on right now.
Also, do you send the voice actors a script? Also do they send you a sound file and do you play them on your media player???? also what is a Pm's so many questions lol. I think that is it though.

Jessismith In reply to littlegoblet [2009-03-13 11:20:15 +0000 UTC]

Heheh. I'm sure you have a nice voice. Nobody likes their own voice....
I don't like mine. Yeah, you send the voice actors a script. You actually post the script somewhere where all of them can see it. They will need to send you a full quality audio file. Probably a .wav file. You will need an audio editing program. A good free one is Audacity. You can seperate and chop out the parts of it that you want, and import it into your flash. Pm just means 'rivate messages' They are like notes.

I got it yeah. Um one more dumb question. . . you nead a mike to record your own voice right. lol shopping time

Jessismith In reply to littlegoblet [2009-03-14 13:13:55 +0000 UTC]

Yep.
My computer mic is crap though, so I make videos with my digital camera and use a free audio extractor, so I'll have better quality of sound.
As you can tell, some of the scene in my movie with my voice are crappy and fuzzy. I haven't replaced them all yet. Yeah, just get a good mic. I'm sure there are some less expensive usb mics that are a decent quality though.

littlegoblet In reply to Jessismith [2009-03-16 11:11:31 +0000 UTC]

collness yup usb mics seems a good way to go. I hope I don't go all shy on myself when I do the voices lol

Well, I'm like that too.
It just takes a few tries to get it right. Bleh...it takes me a lot of takes...I hate my voice. I'm sure it will work out great for you.

na trust me your voice sounds nice lol. but hey we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. I will see if I can twist my brothers arm to do some of the male voices

That would be cool. My brother is the same way. I would have to beg him for an hour to get him to think about doing a voice. xD

This must've taken forever to make; my icon has about 42 frames and it took a few hours to make (and that's not counting the amount of time ripping the sprites took-yes, I ripped them myself)

It's been months in the making, and still going strong.
Every so often I update it. Now, it's almost finished,
and then, onto part two...xD

stream-reflections [2009-02-19 19:20:05 +0000 UTC]

Love all the details you have like the little sparks of flame rising up to the beginning, and the white butterfly landing on the grass

nice voice acting too!

Thank you! I was waiting for someone to notice the butterfly.
I didn't do all of the voice acting, but I found some really good people did such an excellent job.
Thank you so much!

I could help you out with voice acting. I'd be able to stick throughout the whole thing too.

Jessismith In reply to protozero [2008-11-29 02:21:05 +0000 UTC]

Alright, just send a copy of your voice saying any of the male lines in the script and I will add you to the audition list...I have a few on there now.
Doing more than one voices will give you a better chance of getting a part and some of the parts are in the movie already, so they need to be dubbed. Thanks for considering....

PS: Sorry for replying late, but my computer is having issues with the internet lately. Hopefully it shall be fixed soon....

Mechanixnut [2008-10-10 04:29:49 +0000 UTC]

Might I suggest adding a preloader the the beginning of it so us with bad internet connections can watch it without it being all choppy and stuff. If you need help making one I can help you. Add me to Msn if you want to. I can make some really cool preloaders in flash ^_^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jessismith In reply to Mechanixnut [2008-10-10 13:16:41 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes *sigh* The program I made it in did not allow preloader, but fortunately, I have the newer version of that program, which does make preloaders!! ....Only a default one though, you can't create them....pfft...

I'll try to obtain the original files of these though, since they're still trapped on my old laptop, and then I'll see if I can try to add preloader to them..

By the way, I added my vid here. You were right....it does load much faster now!

littlegoblet [2008-04-25 05:27:09 +0000 UTC]

this is brillian Jess. I realy enjoyed how smooth and effortless you made the running part look. When doing this, did you draw in the moving parts with each frame or where the moving parts drawn on different layers as objects and moved individualy with each frame? I hope that question made sense. lol but I realy enjoyed this

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jessismith In reply to littlegoblet [2008-04-25 14:05:50 +0000 UTC]

Thankies Christine...I think I know what you mean. I actually just slopped the running animation together. I drew the entire character in the frame and on one layer, only because for some reason, whenever I make it one part at a time, it always messes me up. The spots were added on a different layer though.

Jessismith In reply to seiji-chan [2008-04-24 13:03:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes. Animation really does take a lot of patience, and time...which is something I seem to have much of...too much, really.. I don't know if you've ever tried animating before or not, but really, it's actually pretty fun....more fun than drawing a still picture, I guess because I'm usually more pleased with the result in the end....it's the same way with making comics.. But anyways...always nice to hear from you, meh friend. Glad you like teh bunneh... That was the best part for me to animate. I'll make sure he has a better end than what it seems.
Oh yeah, I have looked at all your pictures but I was too lazy to make comments, so I'm gonna have to do it...eventually...

I probably would eat the cat if I were actually the bunny. I was the voice of the bunny (scruff is his name) so it's funny to read comments about him.
