Description
PS: If you are using wireless, the sound is likely to be mis-matched to the sequence. i hope not...
Progress recording:

Updated with sound. Not everything match up the way I wanted, but this gives a better idea how it will look.
I like sharing unfinished animation.... because each of them takes so freakish long to finish. (This is almost like... sharing my comic sketches before they become official pages, but oh well, it's got very little story to it, no spoiler.)
Note: Some parts of the animation will feel too fast or too slow, that's because it's a WIP, the timing is still in progress too, trust me the finished version will be properly timed.
Flash 8-CS3
Time: 1 min 30 seconds rough out
Wip 1: 12/23/07 ---3 hours so far
WIP 2: 6-8 hours?
WIP4: 9/17/08--- lost count...
WIP5: 9/23/08- gah, I didn't know how to do missiles fire, had to research on youtube. I didn't feel like I accomplished much. Thankfully I finished None's 270 degree turn plus zoom out! (There's some stuff to fix, I will clean it up with pencil and paper.)
WIP6: 9/27/08- I finished 90% of the missile firing scene, (its still a bit too fast but) yay~~ Thank you Zoids. T_T It was easier than I thought though... so few drawings yet the speed can make it look so cool easily..... erm. I am not bragging. I hope.
None's cannon energy gathering and firing is a lot more trouble-some. I over animated.... right now it's.... barely working, I think that scene needs to be longer.
The hard part is a lot of the animation is too smooth...
WIP7: Animated a few of the last scenes before I ran out of steam....
WIP10: 10/18/08 Skipped a week, now it's WIP 10.
Animated the most troubling sequence this weekend.... Sc 09 where Ko grow his wings, and Sc 17 where None's arm gets cut.
Then fixing up more timing and subtle areas... There's still alot to work on.
GAWD they were HARD! It's not just the drawing, it took me a while to get the timing too. T_T
Right now I can say I am fairly satisfied with those two scenes, I still want to rework into Ko's growing wing sequence. (Flash rendered the sound off for some reason, but its WIP so i'll let it go.)

------------------------
"Don't Linger"
[piano]
I found your footsteps etched in the sand
and followed them here to a dry, thirsty land
I call your name, but (still) you turn away
Please, don't forget what I told you today
Open your eyes and awake to sunrise
Don't linger in (your) empty dreams
[guitar]
I traced your path to a dead, barren sea
and found a storm brewing all around me
The wind tears our voices away
You cannot hear what I say
[flute/lesley guitar]
f 10 Deeper and deeper, the whirlpool draws down
lg10 You, fallen prince, with your broken crown
f 10 Open your eyes and awake to sunrise
lg11 See me here calling, reaching for you (oh)
f 11 Where are you now? your image fades to black
lg 10 The world burns around us; the clock won't turn back
f 11 I've carried my words across all these years
lg 10 Look up and listen; tell me what you hear
[flute - closing]
f 9 open your eyes, awake to sunrise
f 9 let me see you reach out now for me
f 9 (oh) don't linger in empty dreams

it takes a long time to do it, but if u want to u can learn to do it yourself as well with just photoshop animation tools and window movie maker.

That's what being in animation is about, the finished vision, often the process of animation is not as enjoyable.

2D animation is a bitch to make.
I understand how much of an ass-kicking medium it is but it's gonna be a satisfying reward at the end of the tunnel for you.
I can't wait to see how this turns out
I don't recall if it was you, but you go to SVA in Manhattan?

mayshing In reply to meiwren [2009-02-19 04:24:48 +0000 UTC]
yes, any animation work is a bitch, I would say 3D is as much a bitch (even more of a bitch) to make as 2D, I can do 2D well, and handle the tedius drawing more than 3D technical problems right now. T_T
and I am third year 2d animation major in SVA. Do you go there as well?

I graduated there from the 3D department in 2006.
Spent most of my classes on the west side of Chelsea. I'm in Los Angeles for a bit, freelancing in the area. I miss New York a lot!

mayshing In reply to meiwren [2009-02-19 14:58:29 +0000 UTC]
miss New york? I never imagined someone would say that. XDDD
Yeah, many people are saying Los Angeles is the place to be for working in this field. 3D department is a good place to be, very technical, but one learns many useful skills.
Who are you working for right now?

meiwren In reply to mayshing [2009-02-19 18:41:32 +0000 UTC]
I'm a freelancer here, I just finished up at Brand New School a couple weeks ago.
I'm at home right now, really enjoying my free time.
Slowly though, I'm starting to feel the need to go hunt for another job.

mayshing In reply to meiwren [2009-02-19 18:54:16 +0000 UTC]
now i wonder if there's any difference freelancing in CA compare to NY? I start to think its rather similar, they are both expensive states too.
π: 0 β©: 1
meiwren In reply to mayshing [2009-02-20 07:20:09 +0000 UTC]
Depends on where you are in California. If you compare Los Angeles to New York City, LA is definitely cheaper. I found this the most despairing downside, but the public transportation here is nowhere on par with the transportation in NYC, although the awesome weather almost makes up for it.
But the air quality sucks.
The 3D industry is also larger in Cali so there are more freelance opportunities.

AW, wow...that theme music is BEAUTIFUL. It really fits the comic. The animation sequence looks great; I was very impressed with the early scene of turning from Angel and walking away, and the scenes with None looked great. I look forward to seeing this whenever you finish it! Excellent work!
P.S. I noticed you wrote that one of the inspirations for the theme was 'Hero' by Nickelback. That is such an excellent song; I can see why you would look to it as inspiration, it definitely fits the main character extremely well.

Thanks for the comment, i am working on this to bring it to the best i can right now.

^^ I think I saw part of it once, but I don't think I got the music. It looks like you've added to it, too. Very nice! (Plus I haven't had time to go through your WHOLE gallery yet. But soon! )
You're welcome! I'm sure it will look fantastic when you finish.
