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

OMG

Wow

This is amazing may. I just wish I'd known about this earlier. Animation is smooth, extremely proffessional, and I think you've really brought the elements of your manga into movement.

Awesome.

Amazing!
So, you start with still shots... begin and end.... and then you do the frames inbetween?
This WIP is useful for when I start animating someday... maybe... XD

Oh, you keep adding to it! This just keeps getting better and better!

I can just picture this being a full orchestrated piece, too, similar to Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger symphonies. What animation studio is going to pick this up?

Does Angel die? o_O After Chris is all happy and accepting, she kicks the bucket?!

mayshing In reply to AleaIshikawa [2008-10-07 01:26:45 +0000 UTC]

"Does Angel die? "

keep guessing.

No idea what animation studio will pick this up... at this point.

aww nuts i already saw this xD anyway o.o I just want to say that the part where angel falls when that dude (i could never remember his name... seth? XD) was walking away looks a lil fake cuz of the legs I think it would be better if she falled on her face and then looks up at him because it would make it seem like she fell my accident instead of sitting on her legs and...

mayshing In reply to wishmakerz [2008-10-07 01:29:45 +0000 UTC]

I am not fixing the leg scene. D: No time to go back and figure out the exact right way to do it right now. But I will bare those suggestions in mind.

I just started my first year of animation and this is very inspiring to watch! ^_^

I think it's awesome! My favourite parts are when None shot out the missiles and when Randy did the backflip.

I wish you the best of luck on this! I look forward to the finished version ^^

/comfort ><; Thanks

I am quite disappointed that we're not allow to do any manga in my first year... It was to be expected though, and it's not just manga but other things like robots, aliens and ninjas as well. My teachers said they had too many of those in the past. Luckily enough, they said we can do whatever we wanted in the second and third year

mayshing In reply to 13W [2008-10-06 17:44:40 +0000 UTC]

oh, yeah, those things.... it's too popular it sickens their stomach. lol~
I bet you can understand.

I still did it anyway, but just avoid the obvious manga/anime style until my second year, lol~
Cuz those teachers who says no to anime/manga don't usually know what they are saying.

Gingashi In reply to ??? [2008-10-03 01:38:45 +0000 UTC]

wip 6- wow that's fantastic! I like the smoother turning on None in the intro. The missles and explosion are nicely done. I know it's the rough, but just make sure to draw the missles flying off camera since there is a slight moment where they freeze and are still in camera and then it cuts to the next shot. That added part of jeremy and mosa is really nice- I like that one! Also, I like Angel's push of the hands off Chris, very nice weight and bounce.

Ok, so after seeing the slight move on the spinning camera, I still think it feels a bit off. So if you have time, maybe try one more approach: perhaps you can sping once, and then shoot off into a direction... and, then you will also need to make none and kolei move more (more animation sorry!). For instance, perhaps not just move in x and y, but let None move in Z and get smaller or bigger depending how you feel about it.

Eureka7 you may get some idea of what I mean with the camera. This AMV has some nice clips, please watch it! hope it can give some ideas:

Also- to help pump you up, if you haven't watched it already make sure to watch tengen toppa gurren lagann.

You're doing great- keep it up!
