[edward18517]

[ThatEpicAsian]

Very creative. Love it. :)

[alinachau]

[nanshanvalley]

@alinachau I want to see the film, but it's not there.

[theAdventurologist]

How long did it take you to create this?

[thugf101]

i don't get it but cool

[enwolfacseflor]

O my God, that lazy ...... But that great .... I would love to have that patience.

[ChrisBclips]

thats amazing,

[skeye665]

You know how to get emotion into animation so well! That's such an important aspect to have for animation, great job! I loved it

[TitaniumToothpaste]

its magic

[StarlingDinNova]

Just to clear a few things up. I wasn't being a hater! I just wanted to know! This is incredible but I just wanted to know how to get a drawing to move like that! D:

[meh1113]

Draw the same thing on 3 different pages, then change the frame a little, then draw it 3 times, then change the frame a little etc.

[StarlingDinNova]

@meh1113 oh thank joo! ^^;

[phamxuantung]

that is incredible! I wonder how long would it take for one person to draw all these. Now I know how painstaking the process of making even a short cartoon is.

[gcmadeboy2]

woahhh thats incredible!! amazing

[yayito1979]

donde puedo descargar este prograna?

[KillemSlowKevin]

awesome. we used pencil testers last year in my animation class

[alinachau]

It's paper and pencil, and shoot under an old fashion animation camera table

[ON3ofAthousand]

love the character design

[8denver8]

I lOVE it. By the way do you have your own website.

[kamihakai]

great great, what do u mean with (box of paper) ??

do u know, how is exactly done the 2d anime programs in japan?, do they also draw frame by frame, then the scan that one by one, and the draw again in a special software and put color and all that stuff??

[kamihakai]

how mamy sheets did u use? did u really draw one by one hand-drawed and then scan them all?¿?

[alinachau]

Including clean up is about 17000 ... or 6 box of paper. :P

Yea, it's all hand drawn and then scan in.

[necrofecker]

damn, 17000 sheets of paper...

the hippies are gonna be pissed..

nice work anyways, two thumbs way up...

[Neku2]

OMG, thats alot of paper. Do you chop down your own trees?

[TheBlueWind]

@alinachau HOLY man oh man. You are an epic animator. :D

[dtnelson66]

@alinachau

I suppose that includes all the sheets you threw away, too. Even if you drew for video (30 frames/sec), and drew one frame for every frame of video, you'd only use about 1320-1350 frames for a 44 second video. And the professionals don't even draw a cel for every frame of film/video. Disney draws twos (12 frames of animation for every 24 frames - 1 second - of film.)

That said - excellent animation. Certainly looks like an animated film I would like to see.

[Exit13online]

Alina, ever see 'The Thief and The Cobbler'?

[notsogoodartist]

nice animation... ^^,

[markusgp]

Long time following your nice sketches and designs at your blog :)I found by chance this animation....very impressive and nice done :)

[alinachau]

Reanimator999,

Thank you. Most of the EFX shots are on 1.

Long long time ago, I did applied to Disney, WB etc.. but they don't have any 2D job back then. Right now,I am working happily at Technicolor these days.

[Marbles471]

Technicolor? Not as an animator, I take it. :)

What do you do there?

[alinachau]

I am a 3D animator there.

[alinachau]

I am a 3D animator there.

[Marbles471]

I didn't realize Technicolor had any need for animators. What sort of animation do you create for them? What's the context and purpose?

[Reanimator999]

Alinachau, have u applied for Disney or WB? If they don't accept you, Studio Ghibli is another good place to go.

[Reanimator999]

Wow. Was the frame rate 1's or 2's? I really the part where flame/smoke turns into cavalry.

[msg360]

hey alinachau I need to ask you a few more question,

about your work and the school you went too.

[msg360]

great job, what school did you go too. aim asking because

your doing both 2d and 3d animation

[alinachau]

msg360,

Thank you.

I went to UCLA Film School, Major in Animation. :)

[philgunman]

WOW,she was pritty,nice animation

[jgvaldes]
