Speed Animation 1

In the past few months, I've been really active trying to improve my animating skills. Some people have noticed and so forth, but some ask me how I do it. Well... I'll go as far as showing how tedious and long and tiring the animation process can be.

I made a speed animation of me doing sewarudo's new signature. It is only the animation part of the process since the cleaning part of the process took too long and crashed hypercam.
Yeah...







Maybe I'll make a video of the cleaning of frames one day. But yeah. This is only the BASE animation, not including the extra effects I sneaked into the animation (close up, insert of troll face). The final product can be seen here. Usually, it takes me about an hour or two to clean the frames I get from doalatte, then another hour or two to arrange the frames and set the animation. All in laggy Photoshop . Sometimes, the lag gets so bad that I have to restart Photoshop so I can continue. Alas, the woe... 

I'm waiting for the day when doalatte becomes like a certain MapleStory Simulator (what was it called again? StoryBanned?) so I can skip the frame cleaning process entirely. Sitting at the computer for about 4 hours straight without walking around for 5 minutes, going into the kitchen, opening the refridgerator, closing it immediately after and walking back is torture on my attention span . Well. I'll make a follow up entry whenever I do another speed animation. Probably tomorrow since I have to make another signature for a certain guy who I love very much. But we'll see.

Until then, Adieu.
