Hey man,

This is a really cool video! I saw it a while ago, but watching it today has made me hugely interested in knowing a little about how its done.

Could you possibly briefly tell me a little bit about what programs you had to use to get the overall effect of this type of animation?

@majestikbreaks Hey man, I hope you don't feel any obligation to reciprocate comments (although I obviously appreciate it^^)

I made all the elements in photoshop using either my drawings/photographs or pics I nabbed off the web, then I went over them with the pen tool or using the Cutout filter to get that vector style. I imported all the separate parts into flash as .psd files and used Trace Bitmap/Convert to Symbol/Motion Tween to move them. But I use After Effects now instead, bc it's better!

*Sigh* I remember those...

@TheHopegiver Sadly so do I, can't say I miss them though!

Great animation

[BritishConcept]

You're contractually obliged to say that of course, but thanks anyway man :P

@BritishConcept

....Kinda similar to the particular cartoony parts in the New Order - Blue Monday video 1988 version....

Or at least thats what I'm kinda thinking, kinda hoping would be cool, but I guess I won't really know til I've tried it!

Anyways thanks for the info man! Speak soon

@BritishConcept

Heyo, sorry it's taken me a while to reply, kept passing my mind! But yeh no, definitely not just reciprocating comments, it's a really cool vid man! And I was just interested in how you can make something like that! Trying to broaden my horizons of media production, not just music, kinda with the thought of a video in the back of my mind in the not too distant future!

[TheHopegiver]

@BritishConcept True. Not in this "XboXPSWii" world we live in.
