Might as well plug my 2D final film, Hamsterman. Everything but one voice done by me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOfiGYffKAU I got married a few weeks ago, and instead of my best man giving a traditional speech, we recorded it ahead of time and I animated to it. Unfortunately, it was a lot more time-consuming to make than I thought it would be, so time constraints made it look a bit rushed in parts (sometimes choppy lip sync, no background) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtQMzNSLjzg Oh, and I guess there's my avatars, my current one included.   scrub lover fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Sep 30, 2009 |

I've already whored my film Hamsterman earlier in this thread, and more recently in GBS's Youtube thread, but I figured I should bring it up one more time so I can get some input on an idea I have for a series based on the "kid" character (who I have not yet named). The premise of the series is based on experiences I'm sure we've all had as kids when we've encountered creepy people. They either looked, acted, or talked weird in some way, and our parents forbade us from interacting with them - or at least from staring. So basically the series is about this kid who has the bad luck to constantly find himself in situations involving creepy individuals. Hamsterman more or less provides a rough outline for the plot structure of each episode. The kid finds himself, generally against his will, in a situation in which he has to interact with - or avoid - some seemingly scary adult character. The middle section would mainly be a bunch of gags involving the kid and the creepy person(s), which would get increasingly outlandish. The punchline for each episode would be a sort of "twist," if you will, and the kid either has some happy rewarding ending OR finds out he let his fear get in the way of a happy rewarding ending. Of course, that's all subject to change, but it's what I got so far. I was proud of Hamsterman when I made it 3 years ago, but its flaws become more and more apparent to me as time goes on. However I feel like it at least laid the groundwork for something potentially awesome. If I do make it a series, I want it to be legit. I want character development, stellar voice acting, a love interest, animation twice as good as Hamsterman's, creepy characters that are at times more realistic and less "wacky" than the Hamsterman character, solid plot structure and relevant non-random humor. In order to meet all these criteria, I'll need a lot of feedback and criticism, because I know there's no way in hell I can do it all on my own. Here's a short list of possible plots I've thought up with a friend: - Christmas episode: Kid wants awesome toy, goes to mall to talk to Santa. Santa turns out to be incredibly shady. Maybe turns out to actually be Santa. - Nursing home: Kid has to visit scary old great-grandmother at the nursing home. Probably will at some point have to make his way through horde of creepy old people in the hallways (think nurse scene from Silent Hill movie). - Babysitter: Kid's parents are going out. They have to leave before the babysitter arrives. Kid expects usual babysitter - his love interest, a cute older girl. Turns out to be a man with a horribly burned face (picture). - Something involving a school janitor - Homeless guy appears in kid's treehouse - Carnies - Summer camp Again, any and all feedback would not only be appreciated, but absolutely required if I want this to be successful. Thanks in advance.

 Hey fellas, already posted this in Youtube thread but thought I should plug it here too. It's a music video I animated for pirate rappers Captain Dan & the Scurvy Crew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkZ7V8LYFaM

I haven't done a 4-legged run since 2nd year of college (5 years ago), but I took a crack at it for a project I'm working on. It's sorta based on the monster from "The Host." Would like critiques before I clean it up.

Appreciate the feedback, I'll try to fix as many of those issues as I can. Here's another scene from the same project... any thoughts? This is more complex stuff than I'm used to.

Cleaned up the animation on my "Host" monster cycle. Holy hell, toughest thing I've ever animated. His head is redrawn in every frame, although traced over a copy+pasted template.

I think this scene's coming along pretty well, though the cannon's animation is a little underwhelming. Any thoughts?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcZGVuVN8cw The trailer for the music video I'm working on. Production's been slow as molasses so I had to whip this together in order to capitalize on whatever amount of attention they got from appearing on America's Got Talent last night. I also did the music. I guess it's weird to preview a music video using a different song, but it's at least based on the original. scrub lover fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jun 13, 2012 |

neonnoodle posted:I suggest you move the credits/attribution to the beginning, because I think it's really cool that you also did the music yourself. Plus, because you boarded everything, you need to give people a heads up, or else they wouldn't know unless they watch all the way to the end (and I hear they frequently don't). This is all really good advice. Regarding the last part, I didn't want to include the original Captain Dan soundtracks as the clips are pulled out of order and the music would sound jumbled. Really it's just unfortunate that I haven't really done anything since college besides those videos, so all I have to show besides my student film is pirates.

Try rendering with motion blur and give it some more contrast in the lighting.
