Dr. Mario with Lyrics - Animatic

This is the animatic for "Dr. Mario with Lyrics."

For those interested in the animation process, a short like this is "boarded out" first. In the case of flash (and similar programs) you can go straight from storyboards to animatic (basically a rough version of what the final will look like cut together).

From here I used the brush tool to clean up my key poses, inbetweened everything, created mouth charts from various head poses, designed backgrounds, and slapped it all together. It was a long process that took a lot of reworking and rewatching.

For those that are into animation and want to know a little bit more, feel free to ask away. May I first, however, direct all those who really want to do this sort of thing with their flash animation to this:

Granted, I wouldn't call this high-calibre animation, but it's got just enough of the 12 principles to catch your attention. The more you employ the techniques in the aforementioned article, the more fun your animation can be.

But He Didn't Say Two Things During The Final Cut Of The Video, The "Go 'Head Part" & The Part Where Bowser Said "What", So What Happened There

[DarqV]

@teamnoah111 You answered that yourself with the phrase "Final Cut." This ain't the final cut, buddy.

[Blooperguy229]

You really sound like Brental!....Sorta.... You harldy sang it right.....

[DarqV]

@Blooperguy229 Not only IS Brentalfloss singing this, but this is the Animatic, which means the first/rough version of the finished product, so that everything can be planned out. The end product almost always turns out a little different, as is natural in the creative process. You shithead.

The one thing that is very different is Peach's diagnosis. The "Wait I'm wrong" part makes a lot more sense in that context.

It's fun to see pre-finished stuff. Oh, by the way... your animation? Wins, hands down. You're awesome, Darq.

[DarqV]

Totally agree about Peach's Diagnosis, but it really lacked "zazz" when we kept looking at it. By putting Kirby in there, it made less sense, but was a bit faster paced, which can make all the difference in comedy.

funniest thing is the H in HPV stand for "human" which Bowser is clearly not.

Lol Wario's ass is uglier here than in the final video. XD
