  • 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.

  • Pretty cool work...I still in the beginning stage of learning these techniques.

  • it was interesting to see the process! thanks for posting

  • 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?
