P[A]nimu: Friends Like These (Clip1)

Omfg. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE. SO GODDAMN LONG. TO MAKE SOMEONE BLINK. OKAY? OKAY.

Anywho, after reading Zeit's "Friends Like These" PART ONE story, I HAVE BECOME TOTALLY P[A] PUMPED. I really want to do the scene where Omri and Dante are talking, but I wanted something to put before it, so I made this. Unfortunately, THIS TOOK SO GODDAMN LONG FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE, that I may not do the next lol. 8( And yes I totally just sketched the other scenes to go in this. I just wanted Omri. To. Blink. Okay. I just wanted him to blink.

Go read the story here: http://forum.project-aesir.com/index.php?topic=385.msg4401#msg4401

Still, on a first play it seemed too sudden so you may want to hold it for a bit to make it more noticeable.

what program you do this in? Flash or just Photoshop? Sometimes a lot of animations can look a little sticky in Flash, so I've heard because of the default setting or because a lot of people aim for shooting on 3's for that. (which is 6 frames per second, which is standard for television.) At least that's what I've heard.

@WeDunnoWTFisGoingOn Actually I was using Windows Movie Maker. Usually I use Sony Vegas, but since I had to reformat my laptop I lost the program some time ago. orz I'll be redoing it once I get it back though, since Movie Maker doesn't allow me to make it any faster, unfortunately. Ah, and the scene isn't finished; the sketch frames are just there as a place holder until I finish 'em up. 8)

@Resalan Yiiiikes. Yeah, I hope you can get Vegas soon. Because anyone that even tries to make AMVs can tell you Movie Maker sucks ass. D; So totally understandable. Well good luck with this and I can't wait to see the finished project! If you're at all interested as well, I would suggest maybe getting After Effects or ToonBoom somehow because those appear to be better for attempting to animate something. (Flash works too though lol.) Just letting you know how it looks thus far though!

Blinking is a biiiitch I can imagine. If shot on 2's (a.k.a. at 12 fps), it should take about 6 frames to make a smooth blink (or even just closing the eyes) because from what I can imagine it takes half of a second to properly blink. (Maybe even a second sometimes, in which case it would take 12 frames to make a proper blink.)

Nice little scene but there's so many stiiillls it seems so boring. And the blinking doesn't feel too fluid - kinda sticky and slow. but still, a good blink nonetheless.

OMG i'm jealous of your animating skills

SOOOO epic!
