Rough Cut

[pasithea]

This thing is still a mess but I wouldn't mind a little feedback on it if anyone is willing to give me input: Free As a Bird (rough cut pencil test)

It's a WMV. Eeeew. *sigh* I'm STILL trying to find a video format that is small, doesn't horribly mangle my animation AND everyone can play. It's much harder than it seems...

Anyhow... I think most of the animation is working. There's a few parts where the timing is a little off or it needs a lead in or trail out action to make it look good (The cat skidding to a halt at the door) and there are still a few holds in the movie that need to be filled in with animation (the person switching on the TV for instance) the inconsistent lighting will go away when it isn't a pencil test anymore, and, the big major problem right now is that it has about 1/3rd of the audio. There's a LOT more sound to go into it and that should improve it vastly.

Anyhow. I'm hoping it is at least starting to give an overall feel of how the finished movie might look. Its a long ways off yet, but I'm definetely making progress.

Quicktime? If you need a code for the pro version, I've got a legit one I can let you use (got a few legitimate ones, actually).

Eep. I forgot to mention that there is also a QuickTime Version of 'Free As a Bird' (http://circle.twu.net/animate/pencil/freebird_web.mov) on my site too. It's 9M instead of 6M and not quite as clean though. PC and Linux users also often seem to have problems playing quicktime movies. MPG is the only 'true' standard but it's much too uncompressed. :/
