Final Hal Eisner Scene

this is the final version of this scene. I did the design. It was cleaned up by Rafael Hurtado and the Flash work was done by Robert Etchingham. This is an extended version of the scene from the Fox 11 news story. You can see the whole story by searching for "2D animation making a comeback in the 3D world" on the myfoxla.com website.

y wasnt family guy on the back?

anyway do u use flash cs4 cause thats wat im savin up 4

[SethKearsley]

This was done while I was at Film Roman for a new story that was being done about Film Roman, so that's why all of the posters are for Film Roman shows. It was also a sneaky way for me to slip Slacker Cats in the background behind him when he stops. This was done just a week or so before Slacker Cats premiered.

I haven't played with CS4 yet but I'm hoping to get my hands on it soon. I've heard that you can do parenting with it now which will make animating much easier. Also, I know that you can export a SWF with the sound in Flash but I don't think you can export a Quicktime with the sound. I'm sure there are other programs that can be used to marry the sound and picture. iMovie would probably work just as well.

[animatermasterz]

yes, actually you can export it with sound. I hope to actually work for Film ROman when I grow up for like the simpsons. So do you guys use adobe products? and also do you work for a whole bunch of shows, or 1 show?

[SethKearsley]

There's a lot of Photoshop and After Effects and Flash but they're also using a lot of ToonBoom products now too. Most of the boarding is done in ToonBoom Storyboard Pro. Even the Simpsons is starting to do layout in Storyboard Pro. The whole studio is finally/reluctantly going digital.

i mean slacker cats, its a really awesome show and if abc family dont want to broadcast the show cant you guys try to find another channel like Comedy central or Adult swim?

[SethKearsley]

They own the show so there's no taking it somewhere else. They are planning on the other 6 episodes hitting the web soon though.

...  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

in my view the animation war is a strange subject cause one is used by a pencil the other one by a pencil then later on a computer

but there is more passion in 2D animation in my view

[animatermasterz]

Yeah, I was wondering what kind of programs you use. I was wondering if you used adobe, but I also thought that you might use toonboom, but thank god you only use toonboom for storybords lol. I downloaded it and it's pretty complicated lol. My mom had got me flash CS4 for my birthday, I figured you also used after effects too. Well, thanks for the information!!!

[pokerockmario123]

yeah, and that's macromedia flash animation ^.^
