    it has been laying on my hard drive for over a year.

    i always wanted to sell it but it seems to me a little too crude.

    anyway, check it out.

    enjoy

    Not too shabby. I’d love to know how you did it.

    That looks great, if thats just a teaser, I’d wonder what the final product would look like 😀

    I’d love to know how you did it.

    i never learned how to animate. i don’t do inbetweens, i just draw one piture after another.

    the pages are then scanned and colored in photoshop elements.

    be sure not to forget the alpha channel to render the background of the drawing transparent.

    then the pictures are imported into premiere elements. make sure that you set the preferences of the premiere project (general/still image) to 2 frames, otherwise you’ll have to correct every frame. then you can toy around with the animation timing, make sure that the animation somehow works.

    – now you can finish the whole product in premiere by installing a background in another video track ( must be lower track number) and render the whole thing –

    what i fortunatly own is another software called commotion ( similar to adobe after effects, just not as expensive).

    so i take the timed animation (without backgrounds) from premiere elements and export the flic as an tiff – or targa sequence (no compression, colors set to millions+, to keep the alpha channel) into a new folder.

    i then do the compositing in commotion, where i have a greater variety of add ons and animation tools than in premiere elements.

    when done i render the whole movie to a file and quality size i want. done.

    the boring part is the coloring and the alpha channel set up.

    for the drawing of the animation i can give you any certified help because i learned it by trying (and it still looks edgy.) sometimes one can correct minor drawing errors(timing errrors) when doing the animation timing in premiere (premiere is best here, i found, because you can import the images in any size you want and work with them very easily in the timeline, altough the preview sometimes cheats on you, that’s why it’s better to render the final flic in an animation compositing tool like after effects.)

    that’s it. (no need for the fancy photoshop cs or premiere pro.

    hope that helps.

    i have about 2 more minutes of animation with that lady. I’m just too lazy to color her. that’s why i called it teaser.

    she just rips all her clothes off, it’s supposed to be a striptease.

    maybe i will do it in the future. (such a boring work).

    but it’s probably the only way to get what i would like to see from a lady. sob. (sad,sad face).

    pity me.

    I feel your pain man, the boring part I find in my animation is drawing the in betweeners and backgrounds.

    So you do have some pretty powerful tools to play with. I did my stuff with hand drawings, Photo Shop and Flash. Fortunately Flash is an okay tool for web animation. It’s just a bit tricky to get the hang of.

    i don’t have flash. it’s a nice thing i heard, but i don’t have the money to buy it (i’m always afraid of jail, so i really buy all my software, no kidding.) the tools i use are a lot cheaper (inexpensive) than flash,but for the web flash is probably better.

    but i think you should definetly continue 10-4. yours is a nice animation.
