Durian Season

[jkloea]

Good Job! 5*

Animation and music fits perfectly together! :)

[shelzi]

thanks! my talented cousin did the music.

This is amazing! It's a great concept/idea and the storytelling is sweet too! I'm actually a cartooning major at SVA but i'm going to try and take some animation electives too. What programs do you use for animation?

[shelzi]

thanks so much, and that's great you're at SVA too. I use photoshop and after effects mainly; I use flash sometimes too but not for this. hope you enjoy your time at SVA!

[bubblyrizzie06]

hey nice job...i cant believe that you really did that ..i hope you can do some of it again so i can watch another...heheh...good luck and good job!!!

[shelzi]

well I was in school for animation for four years and this film took me eight months at least from concept to completion, so it's not like I just did it with magic. :) I mean to make much more animation in future. Thanks for the support! :)

[shelzi]

thanks :D

hello shelley, yr film is lovely... esp the peace-loving outcome. at the zoo we sometimes get free durians from a sponsor (!) as a treat. The elephants are utter fans. They roll the durians about in a pile of leaves, so that the durians sharp pointy bits are safely cocooned in leaves like a cosy round football; then they pop it whole into their mouths like candy and noisily (with happy crooning) grind them up with super durian-grinding molars. Its cute, if you don't mind the drool. Sylvia

[shelzi]

aahh thanks so much, I'm glad you like it. :) that sounds so cute about the elephants! is there any chance I can see this if I come to the zoo any given day? hahah. :)
