Description
Hmm... need to figure out how to make a preview loading bar for ready made swf from After Effects... (The file is 3MB)I notice the loading on DA is not as smooth as it should have been. Watch on Youtube if it's too slow for you.
On youtube: [link]
Rough ver: [link]
For my animation project. The colors are done in a modest way to save time.
After watching my own animation many times, there are many imperfections, but for the time being, I am happy with what I have so far.
I want to push for Sequence 4-5, but those need to be worked out with much higher attention to detail and there's much more to be corrected. bah.
Still need to go back to my flash and maya projects....
Though 2D animation is tedious when it comes to tweening , cleaning up and coloring.... I still prefer it's process over 3D so far. 3D animation think in the way of computer and architects... not normal artists.
Tools of Trade:
Pencils, animation paper, peg bar,
photoshop, corel painter 9, after effects CS3
and tons of study on books like:
Illusion of Life- Magic of Disney
Timing for Animation
Watching animation with slow 1/4 on DVD time after time
Throw 30'000 dollar into an art school to get you to work your ass off. ;D
Time spent: 3 weeks

the two last scenes is kinda slow, i suggest that you drop them and keep up with the first scene but at the same time keeping the same concept(blocking the sword etc...).

can you tell me the basics of doing animation??>.< i would like to learn some!!
and please ,can you tell me how to do the background lines effect??
π: 0 β©: 1
you do the background on separate layers,
not on the same layer as the moving characters.
I believe there will be animation workshop and tutorials on the net if you searched google and youtbue.
Search pencil test, or rough animation.

omg, did I read right? is one of those chars clalled ran?(the one with the scarf?) if so thats one heck of a coincidence O.O I got a char that totally looks like that character whose son is named rhan....
kinda shocked right now.
the animation is awesome though!

The full name is Randy Ed. I just shorted it for Ran, and its not spelled Rhan, don't worry. I saw your Rhan, I think they don't look a like, if you take a look in my gallery you will see more of him.

You are determined and devoted to your work.. -^^-
Animation by hand has a magical feel almost. You've done so wonderfully! The first lunge with the weapon was monumentous in my mind... O_< It was very smooth. I adore you for keeping with this!

Freaking amazing animation!
I love the motions and the details

wowzers, that's pretty cool!!
Sure wish i could do something like that, but i think i'll just stick with literture

WOW! That is very cool!
^_^ I don't even know how to do those! ^_^

Very nice! It seemed to flow seamlessly (assuming we sped it up and dropped the lag) into each frame, just as it should. Great job!

Woot! No sound? *goes to check youtube one*
π: 0 β©: 0
OMG! *explodes from excitement* You have no idea how I loved this. What's so interesting is I've been reading the copies of your books I own once more. I hop onto dA and what do I see but animation!
It's coming along wonderfully in my opinion too. Much better than my poor attempt at animating a cow a few years ago. I hope to be able to see a finished version someday.

Wow, thats quite amazing. Haha, very action packed(: And the characters are very well drawn. Awesome job!

This is really nice.
How many frames did you use?
π: 0 β©: 1
erm.... its about 3 secs on 30 fps, so it's about 90.

Are this by any chance characters from one of mi favorite comics on DrunckDuck!!?!?!??! Good job on this animation

oh ya and continuation problems too.. merge 1st scene and 2nd scene together...if the character tats striking ends on the right then next scene he should start on the right
π: 0 β©: 0
give it some fast cuts, some extreme poses, faster strike. basically just make the fast actions faster and the anticipating action longer. and it should be good
π: 0 β©: 1
I am thinking it needs longer anticipation. As for the speed of the cut, I will check again, it should be pretty fast in its original form, (I aimed for shooting on 1s, but I will double check.) but it's a bit harder online since all loading varies.
π: 0 β©: 1
u should check ur frame rate. for exampl, if ur animation is suppose to be 24fr/s then the .swf file you exported should be 24 fr/s. likewise for other frame rates. i dun think it has to do wif load times since we can replay it again once it finishes loading and it should be playing normally without stalling.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I will double check again when I work on it this weekend. 
π: 0 β©: 0
the animation is very good but I think there's something that makes me a little fuzz, I think the cut from 1st scene to second has a direction error.
I think the camera is not supposed to go to that point of view after the first scene, but this is only what I "feel". I dunno if really technically that's correct
π: 0 β©: 1
ps I saw the penciltest of this and it' deosn't give me the same effect of "error"! So I guess my fuzzness was given only from the change of background! XD

It looks really great, very proffessional-like ^.^

Omg love love love the careful work on the anatomy (HANDS! *_*

Damn this is good. I'm detecting a hint of Don Bluth inspiration. Mostly in the character's movements and the lighting.

WOW THIS IS GOOD! must be hard work~ but its really good~ the beginning was awesome~ keep it up!~ @W@
π: 0 β©: 0
The initial lunge in the very beginning is very smooth and seemed to have a lot of force behind it, I think the background and angle really aids the movement as well. The attacking character has a lot of detail in the arms, which would be frustrating to keep up with but you did marvelous here.
I'm absolutely floored by your work, every time I see it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, it's not as frustrating to keep track of the arm detail as I expected it would be. It's just another element to keep track like everything else. Quick action is often easier to do in animation (all the cool stuff) than slow, subtle action.
