Animation De Jure

[pasithea]

So..

Been working on this Yerf secret santa thing. Finally done with it. An awful lot of work for a thing like that but I needed to work on run cycles some more and it seemed like good practice.


Or a cleaner Flash version at http://circle.twu.net/animate/chase.html


Now to focus on my release at work.

Now that I've had some time to look at this and think about it, I see three things I want to change.

1) I want to remove one frame from the boy's run. This accomplishes 2 goals. There's a pop in this loop where his arm rubber-bands up and he double-steps slightly AND, this changes the rate of their runs just slightly so that rather than repeating every 16 frames, the pattern only repeats every 180 frames.

2) The boy has no left arm.

3) Create a longer/more interesting background loop.

Currently it's an alright animation. These changes move it up to decent. Still not very good, excellent, or fabulous but it's a small set of changes that move it in the right direction.

Yay! Cartoons in my LiveJournal! :)

Reminds me of Ozy & Millie, for some reason.

"The boy has no left arm."

Yes, we know, but it's not polite to say so out loud, or stare at him. :}

Y'know what else this cartoon loop needs? Some Hanna-Barbera chase music.
