Rorschach's journal

I read an excerpt from the Watchmen graphic novel, with an animated Rorschach liquid mask.
I decided to read only his first entry, so not to spoil anything for people who haven't read the book. If you haven't read the book, READ IT NOW!
The liquid mask was tricky to pull off, because I had to ensure it was symettrical, and looked as random as possible.

Enjoy.

You couldn't be arsed animating it properly, frame by frame, so used a motion tween?

And you didn't animate him moving, or anything, despite having flash. Silly.

Plus, your mike quality is horrible. That said, the voice acting is... okay. Not good, but it's alright.

Do you have any idea how long it would have taken to animate that mask frame by frame? I could still be here doing now.

Just talking in a croaky voice emulating Rorschach seems like a boring way to have a wank.

Why don't you go out and get a job? Lamer.

Just leaving bad comments on a video you find boring seems like a stupid way to waste time.

Why don't you go and watch something you like? Lamer.

Dude that was awsome i make lego stopmotion and if i ever do a rorschach seen or video would you like to do his voice? and if you want to be somebody else let me know not just from the watchman but from any marvel, dc, cartoon network, etc.

tweek2005 you do realise that all americans have no soul? everyone in europe knows it.

[tweek2005]

@TheTinMonkey haha fucking trollers. get a life.

It was during my search for something I liked that I came across this.

Actually, no, it wouldn't.

5 seconds of frame-by-frame, at 24 FPS, would take about an hour, for such a simple animation. That's around three hours total to animate. You want to submit your voice acting to YouTube, put in the effort, or expect criticism.
