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.

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

Holy effing crap. Gotta say, don't see many imperfections in the animation, very smooth motions and good sense of weight distribution. Also, great job with the follow thru on the hair and cape.

thats the nature of the film, if you do about 20 pages of a manga in one month average, we do 70 drawings a day average, for a 2 minute film, I will estimate about..... mmm... I have 45 sequences.... every sequence require about 20 drawings, less or more, so it should be about 900 drawings excluding fully colored backgrounds, roughs, clean ups, corrections and planning props. ^^bbb

I enjoyed watchin' what you have right now. So you only used After Effects for the animation, nothing else? And good luck as you continue the project!
