This Week In Linux - Twil Twilly Treat (Intro Video)

[Linux4UnMe]

Did you create this dude? If so... what did you use for everything?

@Linux4UnMe The audio is from 'Rockin robin'... but I did all the graphics.

I used Inkscape to make all the graphical elements and then did the rest in Kdenlive. I used GIMP somewhere in there as well. Anyway... only used open source tools ;)

haha sweeet. I'm impressed.... I wanna learn how to do it and make

@Linux4UnMe It's a little time-consuming, but it's not hard.

Basically, I made all the elements/sprites with transparent backgrounds and exported them to PNG from Inkscape. Then I used the Pan and Zoom (if I remember correctly) feature with compositing in Kdenlive to animate them. Simple defining of positions at start and stop key frames.

The hardest part was getting the compositing to combine the layers properly.

metalx1000 has some good Blender vids if u want something more pro.
