Description Finally been wanting to do this for a while but after seeing another artist animation i got inspired to finish it.

Alot of tweaking and selection cuts as you see but the frames moved alot faster and smoother than i expected.

hmmm i think i can do this animation thing after all...

its not a traditional drawing. dA wont let me upload if i say its digital so just saying.


Please comment and tell me what i can do to improve!

nice. When you get better, speed up the frame rate and etch them together so it flows, but not bad for a first animation my friend. Not bad at all.

Thanks! yeah it was more of a test to see if i can possibly use the photoshop animation system. flah is to complicated at the moment and id rather stick to what i know. Ill definetly make a newer better version and other animated things higher quality as this one only took like 30 mins.

This is EPIC!

Wow, I could really see Vitality being a animated Film now or a Motion Comic, just like the Dead Space Motion Comic: [link] or The Crazies Motion Comic: [link] this is a pretty good job for a first animation... Yeah you "Look good doing it"

thanks aton man!

yeah i did this to test the waters and hopefully see if i could pull it off. hence the crappy frame rate and such.

I defently hope so! i ultimately want to make a animated short film about vitality first, about 6-8 minuets and go on from there. but that will take some more skill and alot of planning.

thanks again man!

Cool, very cool for a first animation.
Would love to see it refined somewhat so it doens't look so obvious that you just moved the layers around insted of redrawing it.

Thanks! Yeah it was done in mere 30 mins to test the waters of animation. Now that I know that I can do it I wonder what I could make if I actually put time and effort in.

for 30minutes that's even more impressive.
It would be interesting to see.

Nice, yet, you left the cartridge in mid air after he fired. Still, pretty good for a first try.

Ah I noticed it stood in front of his head but I got lazy with the frames. Another problem is that I left the current frame of the cartridge on replay for like 1 second when it shod have been like .2

Thanks!

Whoa, looks pretty awesome.

All I'd say would be smooth out the rotation, and boom. Expert animation...

Hey, if you ever make a movie or something, It will be the thing to see

LoomingColumn In reply to NotXRAY0128 [2012-01-17 16:04:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

A reason I kept it choppy was because I was afraid it would be to big of a file to actually use if I make to many frames. But I soon found out it was not. So I'll make smoother Ones. This one was made to test the waters.

Thanks! Wow, I'm hoping to animate a third party film
Based on vitality. But that's a long step from now.

H ok, I'll change it. Thanks!

Yeah I had the frame paused for to long and didnt realized till after it was posted. I guess you coup imagin it's falling along the side of his body.

Thanks!

Idk its pretty good. Overall youve got all the movements down well. Look at some reference maybe. Just keep working at it

LoomingColumn In reply to Kristheblade [2012-01-17 12:36:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah thanks a lot! I wanted a smoother transition from the point where he finishes firing to the point he says hey alright!

I guess I get lazy.

Thanks! Will do!
