Description I don't have much to show, but, I want to give a lil gift as a 'thank you' for those who reported the art thief in Newgrounds...

It's not really useful, but, I just hope i'm able to show some things for people to learn... It's recommended to know how to use Photoshop and AfterEffects first before looking at it...

I've also added an animated gif showing how a scene was prepared element by element... (Click 'Download'... 6mb tho)

Video: [link]

Edit:
'Kay, i tried counting and the total frames are approx 964... (that excludes the frames for non-animating elements)

Edit2:
Due to sudden changes DA implemented regarding GIF files with preview image, I decided to remove the gif to make the tut show up again

You are a genius. My girlfriend showed me this animation and I thought to myself... "this is exactly the type of stuff I want to do". I've been looking for people's animation process and came across yours and couldn't help but be intrigued.

I'll definitely be following you

Mihoshi-TD In reply to ??? [2009-09-20 23:42:37 +0000 UTC]

Silly and strange question, but how big are the pics? Like how many inchesXinches and such? Its just that in PhotoShop, if it's too large it won't let me animate it.:<

So in average what Resolution and size are each pics? It says in one frame 640x480, is that it? Sorry for the annoying questions, if you do not answer I understand.:/

You did some impressive animation I mean looked at what you had to go through. It looks like it was very hard. But you got through and finished and may I say it was wonderful to watch. It was sad when he said I can't any more. Then I was happy when the girl gave him the gift to let him draw again ^^
Anyway it was awesome

After seeing this, I took an Adobe AfterEffects course and now I understand everything you've said. FUCK YES!

But yeah, you're one of the many people who have inspired me to go into an animation major. :'D I'd love to be able to make an animation like this someday. TTwTT
