2d animation reel 2006

[balcom]

dammit, I've been trying to figure out what music to put in my reel, and I'm pretty sure this is the best song ever.

[DaleAmigaman]

Very impressive reel! Great animation that totally held my interest.

[iluvheartless]

wow that was pretty impressive. how did u composite all your animations into this video? what program did you use?

[patdesilets]

@iluvheartless Thanks, I used adobe premiere.  I'm pretty sure you could do something similar with any basic video editing software though.

[sleepingnose143]

how long did it take you to do this?

[patdesilets]

@sleepingnose143 If you mean editing the clips into a short video, that took a few hours, maybe a day, I'm not sure.

If you mean animating per se, that's hard to tell as they're from a bunch of projects I had worked on over the course of 3-4 years.

[llllllslerglllllllll]

Awesome work! 8D

Watch my cartoon animation Called Board Breaker if you want

[patdesilets]

Thanks

most of the stuff from this reel was done in flash.

Except the rabbit and bear short, for which I used a now obsolete toonboom software called USanimation.

The short is called "cours, lapin, cours!" (run, rabbit, run) and is posted on my channel.

Yeah I like tvpaint too but I never took the time to get comfortable enough to really use it. Flash is still my favorite for now.

[patdesilets]

Thanks a lot everyone for the feedback! I haven't replied to many of the comments but I very much appreciated every single one of them. My new reel is out, some rehash but mostly new stuff this time :)

Check it out right here on this channel.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm an art student right now and I was wondering... if it's better to have a 2D or 3D demo reel? I love 2D more than 3D

[strtthshw]

It's probably best to put both, honestly :3

[evanescfan]

then 2d it is. depending what u wanna do for the rest of your life for a living

[CartoonZack]

3d is harder than 2d if i say so myself

[wraithvsx]

great reel man, was wondering if you could look at mine, (my reel) and give me some pointers, i need help/feedback bad. thanks

[StarC0mmander]

Wow! Great reel! You're gonna get hired instantly! Love the style of the drawings, the character movements and their liveliness! Good work!

[peachblush8199]

Good Job with your animated demo. I'm impressed,keep up the good work.

[sirlordwhitman]

You did this all yourself??? No help?

[ZoDyRayson]

My god all your animation looks so smooth and top notch, so proffesional looking : ) very impressive demo reel :D

[Keanes70]

animation aside, which is pretty good, you have a VERY good talent drawing facial expressions and conveying emotion. that is the most important thing with animated characters. PLUS, DEVO? A+!!!!

[Koleyl]

Man I've got to find the cartoons from this demo.

[amodelacaca]

Lol. I love the rabbit running away from the bear. Really good job.

[ReginaldSnoo]

Amazing! I can't believe so much was done with Flash. I am learning Flash now, and you have inspired me to push it alot further ..

[asishv8]

good awesome great

[OBLIMINON]

The majority of that was flash right?

Don't tell me it was toonboom..

Grrrreat job BTW.

Do you have a description of your animation process online somewhere?

[patdesilets]

The scenes with the bear chasing the rabbit are toonboom USAnimation, everything else is flash.

No I don't have a description of the process when I'm using flash, but the short way to describe it would be: many sketches and hand-drawn poses.

[devilinaround]

dude..awesome animation man... do draw with a graphic tablet? have u tried animating in Toon Boom Studio? if u did, which is better for 2d animation?

[ChoasOrderPAIN]

[Celtfan412]

Awesome! It's great to find 2d animation on here that's not anime. Well done, love the classic "cartoon-looking" style.

[bogotomia2007]

ok is agreat reel. I am animator and you inspireme to continue learning and making it better.

Thank you

[poopmousy]

wow, very coowil!!! me really likes the bunni... its animated very nicely! most animation nowadays is so shit... nice to see someone actually using some traditional animation principles! do more stretchy and bendy things like the bunni!

[Aniforce]

Amazing, absolutly amazing!

[markanthonycruz]

Superb work! Everyone knows it's not Flash...it's you as the animatior. Thanks for doing 2-d some justice! I'm so glad to know that there are really good 2-d animators out there. Best of luck to you!

[tangofish]

great work!

[Queball]

Great demo reel!! imo the running rabbit was the best work, to me it had the most originality for character design as everyone else is pretty generic though the scenes are fun and snazzy. But besides the point your're a great animator, to many people who animate with just flash seem to never to understand the concepts of traditional animation which fully apply to flash animations imo. Keep up the good work, and hopefully you got a job for your great demo reel ^_^

[SammyPoot]

You are the greatest animator ALIVE!!!! who are your inspirations?

[Davidhok]

Hey that was great ...Hey can you tell me how you got a flash cartoon to go on you tube...like did you use a video editting program to transfer it or did you import it right from flash...? I so wanna do that...

[Synok]

I think he made it in Flash or any other prog, then

he exported it to a .avi file or something, then

uploaded on youtube.

[saintnicks]

when exporting from flash you can choose video formats

[jakemathew]

Very nice animation style. Keep up the good work!

[jyksta]

Wow, that's really great animation. Especially in flash. Good job!!

[zoozulo]

nice stuff!
