How do you do this? It almost looks like it's done on tracing paper over a background?

Work on your character design and timing

Well, yeah that is true, there is not really suck thing as trasparent paper, but some people call it that way, not me.

Like I said, a cel is a transparent, or clear, sheet of acetate. It is not paper. Those are two different things.

yeah, I know that, that is true, I wasn`t really referring to this video, I was just saying that thats how you see a drawing in top of a painted backround in the old cartoons you see on TV. I know that first they just make the drawings on papers and after that they re-draw and color the characters on the cels.
I havens question.
Isn`t cel like a type of transparent paper?
are you just adjusting the opacity then so you can see the back ground then?

I shoot the drawings on a light box. 2 levels of drawings show through. Sometimes I do shoot the backgrounds separtly from the figures. The Director program allows different levels to be transparent.

What software are you using to pencil test?

I have older equipment that I use to do the testing. I have a Macintosh IIci with a video card installed. This card is plugged into a home video camera. I Import the video snapshots as PICT files into a Macintosh program called Director 3.5.
