[Terro]

It;'s great to see you join the contest Willy. You are in fact a half sponsor of this event :)

[flashcartoons]

wow, so many people joining, i dont have a CHANCE! lol good luck willy

[dlpwillywonka]

This is FC's fault. I wasn't gonna work on this yet but he challenged me in a way. :)

Well anyways I should have most of it today*aside from the actual tranformation of course* since that's gonna be alot of keyframing.

Nevertheless here's a teaser.

[NOOB!]

looking good dip!

[flashcartoons]

nice teaser! and yes i am the challenger! muhahaha

[bleupencil]

Hahahahaha! Interesting :)

I had an idea that involved God too.

[dlpwillywonka]

My original idea was with a greek theme. But the knight was so much easier to draw. :)

But I do want people to know that this was a speed challenge not a quality challenge :-D

[dlpwillywonka]

Just the voice work. I gotta show all the steps I'm taking :p PLUS added the PLAY button in this time. No need for a preloader I don't think. just the sound.

[bleupencil]

LMAO! How very Monty Python-esque XD

[NOOB!]

haha great acting man!

[Terro]

Lol, sweeet accent Willy. You sound just like Nubian.

[dlpwillywonka]

Oop hit a snag. Previews will be short coming in the following hour. I gotta go back over my pencil sketch for the knight's walk. Wasn't working well with my scenery Gotta make it less dirk daring.

[NOOB!]

what the? i'm not posh lol.when did u hear my voice??? i made a few recording a while ago where i was putting on a posh and cockny accent :p

[dlpwillywonka]

Maybe he was just saying I sounded dumb? ;) JUST KIDDING NOOB :D

[NOOB!]

yeh u've been throwing subtle jokes at me for the past 5 months now,started to get a little worried.:blink:

[dlpwillywonka]

hey I wasn't the one that said it. Terro.. it was terro. he's the mean one.

[Terro]

LOL, slow your roll fellas:p I was just messin around since Noob is from England. I've never heard his accent but love Monty.

[dlpwillywonka]

alright got the keyframes in. I'll be doing inbetweens for a few things. And of course the transformation at the end will be completly keyframed. I still have to think up what he'll change into as well. Oh and he WILL have hands. but i wanted them to do more so I was gonna make an individual symbol for each position

[elephant]

Haha... this was entertaining. :D Encore!

[NOOB!]

both the guys are british right?

cos....i don't think a british guy ,even in our days would say *cammaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn!* unless he is purposly trying to sound american.

it would be like *COMOOOOOOOOOORRRRN*,take this from a guy thats been living here for 18years :p

but its coming together good!!

[dlpwillywonka]

well I'm not going back to the recording portion now lol ;p

[bleupencil]

Heheh. Looking good :)

[NOOB!]

well I'm not going back to the recording portion now lol ;p

i was just letting u know for future reference,its the transformation part that matters the most anyway.

[dlpwillywonka]

I know and I thank you for it. There's actually a few blunders within the recording that I'd love to fix but its too late to go back now unless I wanna redo a whole bunch of stuff ;)

[flashcartoons]

i thougth you said you were gonna make this quickly? :cool:

[dlpwillywonka]

i've changed my deadline to two days. :p

And yes I can change the deadline. I was the one that imposed the first one. :p

[dlpwillywonka]

Finally figured out a funny thing for him to transform into. :) Should have the model up today.

[vicjperry]

Quit bustin' our chops with suspense! Transform the bastard!:D :D

[flashcartoons]

i've changed my deadline to two days. :p

And yes I can change the deadline. I was the one that imposed the first one. :p

but its been 3 :p

[dlpwillywonka]

Alright so I finished it. I decided to just hurry up and slap the end on. This is not going to be my only entry. Was only a way of quickly getting my feet wet.

By going through this one and reading my ASK book I was able to have epiphany's on several points. So I'm gonna try again but with a different script and such.

I also realize the actual transformation was cheap. :p

[flashcartoons]

few things to add

hands, when he says voodoo hexies make his arms in the air in a weird funny way


good job, and make the car go BEEP BEEP

[themonkmob]

Crit tyme.

I think this one has the same problems flashcartoons is having in the other thread.

When I watched I thought this was just an animatic, just placing things around maybe you might get the in-betweens later. But it wasn't. I think you need a bit more animation - it would help bunches. Unless you are trying to go for a LINK (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33448486/?qo=7&q=by%3Aalanthebox+sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps) (alanthebox), I think you need more detail. Plus, I think it would be a great idea to put more animation in, it would make it 50 times better - along with the BG.

Define the BG a bit more, put a castle in the back, get a goat - something, it looks really bland right now. Get a mood for the animation and like I said to flash - use all of the time you are given, you have two months, spend some more time on this toon - spice it up.

The voice acting was good. I want to see more of the other character. Oh, and take out the car - find something else to make him transform into - make excalibur - whatever.

Also, fit the golden apple into the mood, you have this medieval thing goin on - use that to your advantage - why is the apple there? who is it for?

Spend some more time on it - I think you could improve this a lot more.

[dlpwillywonka]

Thanks Monk.

I agree on everything with you, but I'm looking at this one as more of a practice. I don't animate that often and just by going through this I learned tips that'll help when starting from scratch. So i may go back to this one after finishing the 2nd one.
