Description Almost finished ver: [link]

Animatics: [link]

Anime for this manga: [link]

6 MB file, it might take a while for some.

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.)

Lyrics by


------------------------

"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

Kyahhh, E-Depth! *fangirls* This is so cool, it's like the opening for an anime.... I love seeing this unfinished, it's really cool to see how you build things up via sketches.... Oh, but I can't wait to see it completed, too....

that will depend on whether my composer can get her ideal singer to sing for it during our Winter break after Dec 18th.

my composer has a singer in mind, but both my composer and the girl seems really busy right now. We will try get a go at it for the winter break, if that doesn't work out we will just update the song afterward when we get the time to do so.

Woooow.... so cool! I love how your updates, little by little, give us a glimpse (but not too much!) of what's going in your mind for the final project. Also, the theme is awesome.

I salute you and everyone that's helped you with this animation- you really put a lot of time, effort, and imagination into it!

And also, mayshing, I really love all your animations. They have a lot of heart, and for that, they're really touching. In a way, I think that's how you've gained such a following. You truly do put your heart and soul into everything you do...!! :3

I love you. I mean thank you for not animating so cheaply, seriously. Animation nowadays are missing the flow even in recent animes. *cries* Thank you...


D= BTW I'm so gonna try to sing that theme

mayshing In reply to sephonica [2008-10-31 23:19:18 +0000 UTC]

there're still alot of people who would animate traditional style, but sadly it's difficult to get budgets for it.

Right! You are my favorite. I just have one question, did you teach yourself to draw and did you make up your characters? did you paint the Jack Sparrow? 'cause it looks so realistic.

mayshing In reply to spiritwavecrest [2008-10-22 01:57:29 +0000 UTC]

yes i did paint the Jack Sparrow, with a photograph, as practice.

I am partly self-taught (mainly in manga) and I did invest in art school and more professional trainings.

Really? cool! Anyway, the iraqi child one, it is so sweet! I've never seen anyone draw some thing related to that. my ancestors come from around that area and its hard to see so many deaths... but its really cute and loving ^-^

Alright the only things I've really changed so far are the beggining guitar part and the ending flute/guitar. I may request some changes from you once I've gone over them again if that's alright.

Musical-Wolf In reply to mayshing [2008-10-20 16:28:01 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I plan on working on it as much as I can this semester (my dad still has to send me the software I need). I'll also take it home and work on it during winter break. Since I'm more familiar with the program now I don't think it will take as long for the second version ^_^
