Description
Like all .swf files here on dA, wait for the first time round and watch the second time. It'll be faster XDNeh. First time doing hand-drawn animation, so no flaming >_>
IT SHRINKS!
It's crying, and I know that the tear goes weird when it falls (it shifts over to the left a bit) but I can't help that now.
It has 23 frames (originally had 22 but it looked strange when it ended with it's eyes closed), each hand-drawn on semi-transparent paper.
When I scanned them into Paint, I saved them as a .bmp file (Frame1, Frame2, Frame3 etc.) and when I was preparing to open every single one in Flash MX in a different document and copy and paste, it said 'This image appears to be in a series of images. Would you like to import the whole series?'
And I was thinking, 'Well, why not?' So I clicked Yes, and I played around with it, except the Tweening didn't work so I just gave up on that and left it as it was.
NO Flash editing here (I undid that all), the only thing I used the computer for was putting it together (and scanning blah blah blah), but no drawing/creation of frames.
My scanner wrecked the shading, too -__-
Q: Why does it lift it's front leg?
A: It actually lifts and puts down it front leg to use it as a balance to move it's only visible back leg. But the animation's so wobbly that the back leg movement just looks the same as everything else
Time Taken: 2 hours to draw, 1/2 an hour to shade, another 1/2 an hour to scan, and 5 minutes to put together in Flash.
Frames: 23

How cute! Yeah I sound kinda weird there... but it's really good. I didn't even notice it shrinking. Do more hand-drawn animations!

Aw, thank you very much
I do enjoy animating so I may do some more in the future, but it depends on the time I have! Maybe on the summer holidays. c:

Nice work! This animated canine has character! I wonder how long doing a whole movie in hand-drawn images would take... Are you game? I did multimedia in year 10, but I wish I could still remember how to use flash (something about motion tweening).

Motion tweening in Flash confuses me
I can do motion tweening in ImageReady, but not Flash...
I would never do a whole movie... =creationwarrior did a pretty long and good one though...

One of the things that I admire most about animators is how they can make the hair and clothes move so fluidly and move multiple parts of the same figure at the same time in different ways and know how to make it look right. Daunting stuff!

Well I'm definitely not one of those animators xD
I mean... the poor thing changes sizes every frame!

Thanks ^^
Haha... I used Flash to put it all together, I just opened up all the scanned images and stuck one in each frame, saved as a .swf file and uploaded to dA, and voila! XD Was pretty easy... But my Flash MX is only a 30-day trial (I'm cheap ) so I won't have it very long

what do you mean, this is awsome, and about the shrinking. just say it was moving the camera outwards.

I just have a trial off macromedia.com (I think that's it), so it'll expire soon
I'm really cheap... I can't afford anything (I got PhotoShop off a friend) XD Sorry!
But thanks, I'm glad you like it ^^

NARF O_O It's such a pain doing them... If it had a proper movement (running blah blah blah) it might be more fun, but no more animating from me until next week (probably not though ) XD

It's so sad, but intensely beautiful
You should definitely develop this into a longer piece. *loves it*

scrii In reply to BobtheSponge [2005-07-01 09:25:21 +0000 UTC]
Aww... I would, but I don't know what to do with it... and the poor little canine would get smaller and probably more deformed
But if you have an idea, I'll work on it while I'm away this weekend (nothing too long though )
