Description
Very first 2d animation ever. I got ahold of Flash. Fear me.. Anyway. This is my first traditional animation evvvaarrr, Even though I have my degree in 3d animation. All from my head and so it has continuity issues. I actually don't think It's horrible for a first try. It just started as playing around. I imagine someone has a recorder on Glenn, and then says something dirty to him. I worked on it all day. :CPlease let me know what you think.

That's awesome that you're an animator too! Have you seen any of mine?

^.^ I'm a closet yaoi fan. I live in Wyoming where it is a SIN to be gay and if you are you're run out of the state. Seriously. It's bad out here. I think the art is beautiful.
But sure!
I'd love to see it. you have a link?

That's pretty good for a first try! But I agree about the wiggling lines, particularly the line in the ears and the shoulders bothered me.
Someone mentioned it before, but you should keep the moving layers separately than the non-moving.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! Thanks a bunch. The hands are on a separate layer.

I would say work on your tempo, it feels a bit rushed, especially the timing after he waves. Maybe try making your key frames and make an animatic to adjust timings.
But good for a first try.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Will do! I didn't do keyframes like I should have, just went from one frame to the next. Next time keyframes and animatic will be in order.

For your first attempt, this is not bad. ^^
However, the animation I felt was spoiled by the dramatic changes in the proportions - the hand was beautifully done in the beginning, but when he waved the fingers changed shape quite drastically.
Also, the proportions of the face - the animation would be beautiful if his face stayed a constant ^^ Unless you were going for the effect where the line was constantly moving because it was retraced over and over, but I think Flash is not the right medium for that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Actually, the line was constantly moving because I did retrace it over and over. It was tedious. :c
I am aware it has continuity issues, but I didn't do a storyboard for it or even keyframes like I normally would and know I should have. D: . I just went from frame to frame to frame, and I didn't have anything to go off at all. This was just a learning experiment for me. I wasn't able to get all everything in that I wanted because it was just 12fps, which doesn't allow much time for secondary motion and stuff.
Thanks for the critique though. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can always change the fps to 25. XD I myself prefer 'Straight Ahead' animation [the method you used] as everything tends to turn out much more spontaneous and vibrant, but in longer sequences it's a big risk D:
And I know what retracing is like. X: Rotoscoping ftl.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I almost did, but It was my first 2d animation ever and I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew, lol. My next may be 24, if I can stomach the thought of retracing everything twice as much. O_O;
I've never done rotoscoping. I may at some point, if there's a specific action (like dancing) or something I'd like one of my characters to do. As it is, this was pretty fun, and I'm already thinking of other things I can animate in 2d.

Unless you are doing something that requires a HUGE change in overall position, you should do moving parts on a layer seperate from those that won't be moving at all. Saves you alot of effort and helps maintain consistency XD

Yeah, I just wanted to go for that oldish feel. I was taught as an animator, never have any part of the animation stop animating after you start, it looks dead. I tried it with this one before I decided the do the whole thing the way I did, it really did look dead :c. And The hands are on different layers.

Disney's 12 principles of animation, yes? XD

Argh, pressed submit too early.
Also you might want to consider the waving in the beginning - I'm not quite sure what the gesture means. XD;

it looks really cute i think that for a first it's really good (can't remember if already commented onY!G...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freaking cute!!!!! The animation isn't clean per say but thats part of its charm (if that makes sense)giving a feeling of intentionality. Its CERTAINLY leagues better than I could do. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not meant to be clean. I didn't even think I could do 2d animation. I guess I proved myself wrong again. ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WOOO! Yeah I should attempt to do it once in a while. You did a great job though. I think it shows a new dimension to glenn
