Description Hi Crew.

Thought I'd practice my hand at Frame by Frame animation for the PixelBattle animation coming up. I wanted to try to include some conplex movements and collision effects, though with the slightly sketchy linework it's a tad hard to see unless you full screen the animtion.

It's meant to be a snippet from the battle between Myself and *Inspectornills . The was the BG and foreground movement is called ' Parlax shifting (sp?) ' and was a way to fake depth a movement in the old 2D sidescrolling games

The animation itself is split into 2 parts. The first is my sketch moevements. The second if a quick color and effects render over the top. Took about 4 hours to do the whole thing.

--

I'm thinking for the actuall animation I might paint the frames in Photoshop, pull anime style animations through flash but generaly have a more...close up less dynamic animation, with prettier pictures and effects.
Unless I make it in 3D. WELL! Then we'd have something fancy.

Ooh! I love it

I have a program called "Macromedia Flash FX"... and hell I can't figure it out! I hope to do something like this, because I want to make my OTH fanfic into a cartoon... but I'd have to practice with macromedia first lol

Nicely done btw!

Well this sort of thing is easiest with a tablet.

However just below your timeline are a bunch of little buttons. One of them is called 'oniopn skinning'. What it does is shows a few frames in front and a few frames behind.

The key to animation is to put in 'key frames' and fill in the middle ground.

So you'd draw frames [1] [ ] [ ] [ ] [5] [ ] [ ] [ ] [9] etc
Then frames [*] [ ] [3] [ ] [*] [ ] [7] [ ] [*]
Then frames [*] [2] [*] [4] [*] [6] [*] [8] [*]

That way you get the timing and placement right. But your job is to fill in the blanks smoothly.

This anim only took me about 2-4 hours. So if you put effort in you can get a good Disney style smoothness to your characters.

Wow! Thank you for the tips! I greatly appreciate it!

The only bad thing is... I don't have a graphics tablet... but i hope to have one one day lol

Thanks for the Macromedia tips. I hope to be trying some flash thingies soon.

Thanks a bunch

Silkeyn [2007-10-24 22:43:40 +0000 UTC]

Holy shit I just though of something. What if someone made a fighting game like this, except the character files are seperate, created with an engine, so that you could have an infinite number of characters to fight? You know, make you're own character sprite and attacks, and even maybe an autofight system too (so the computer can know how to make it fight).

Kraden In reply to Silkeyn [2007-10-25 23:33:03 +0000 UTC]

Actually I have an old flash in my galery for just that idea.
But another DA dude and I are discussing using a new online free program which allows network\online play of games, thus being able to do just what you said
