Hi. I was wondering what program you use for the entire animation. I would like to learn how to do a video like this but don't know where to start. If you would help me out that would be great. Nice video by the way!
@dgress95 The stick figure, the sun and the "moving" text was handdrawn frame-by-frame in Adobe Flash CS4. Everything else was drawn with pen on paper and scanned into the computer, which I then enhanced the contrast of in Adobe Photoshop CS4. When all of those separate elements were complete, I compiled all of them in 3d space in Adobe After Effects CS4. Huh, hey Adobe, how's about you send me a check for all this publicity? Jokes aside, I hope I helped. Let me know if you need more help. ;)
@honeybeever Thanks a lot. That really helps. I just purchased Adobe CS5 and was wondering if I would be able to create those kinds of effects. Yeah, Adobe should probably send you a check, but my guess is that you'll be getting some money from this contest anyway. Could you send me your email address so that I can email you if I ever need any help? Thanks again!
Well, the animation is clever and a bit funny, but I think the style of music is wrong for the activity - I should it be something more hyped, not a folk love song! :-)
What package did you use to animate the stick man?
@matbroomfield The stick man was drawn frame-by-frame in Adobe Flash CS4 (I know, there are faster ways than drawing each frame but I liked the look it produced).
About the music, consider that this video is trying to promote the lighter side of ATV riding, as a safe recreational activity that anyone could try. If I was to instead compose a fast-paced song, on the other hand, it would detract from the meaning of the video and appeal to a smaller viewing audience. Hope that makes sense. ;)
great job man, you deserve to win!
