mixing it up :D

[jakiloblanco]

hey! this is something that I did last year... during production, and during my teaching job :D I just can't ever get enough stuff going on at the same time!

It took me 3 months to do everything... masking in AE, and everything else in Flash 4. Before doing this, I had never cleaned up an entire project, but doing it tought me alot. The same with the lighting and shadows, I had never done any of it. So overall, a great experience.

I hope you like!

Hahaha... I think I saw this over CgTalk, and it's good watch this again !
you've done a great job (conceder I've never watched the original movie).
The Animation is very smooth, the act is awsome, and I wouldn't change a thing... I love it !

I still wish I could get the awsome outlines you get.... I guess the PC version of Flash won't let me do it... ehhh... back to the Annoying Pencil tool.

I would love to see more stuff like in your site, maybe new/old stuff of yours.
Keep up the good working !

hahaha,that was great,very nice job,i cud still kinda see the original gandulf all blurred,but thats cos i have the animators eye,the untrained eye wudn't notice.

excellent animation,what frame rate was it?

[Comlock]

That was great! loved the smooth animation and lip-sync.
maby the cartoon character should have had darker yellow\redish colours, but nah, You did a great job anyway!
I gotta check your website...

i really liked the lip syncing u did, good job. it had a comical feel but in a serious situation.
o yea i like ur avatar :D

[TFC]

Jeez man. That's some incredible character animation. I checked out the rest of the stuff on your site too. It's amazin'. You scared me for a bit. I had the idea that you were a student or something for some reason. I think I have a new favorite animator on the internet now.

Thanks TFC! Such flattery ... It's was fun to do.. i did it along with so many things... but it was a real learning experience. I can't believe I got stars:D

[Terro]

Lol, Jaki is definitely someone I really look up to.

[ori@r.a.m]

great stuff! the lip sync is awesome! i took a look in your site, i really love your drawing style :D

[NOOB!]

haha,jaki is forum famous.

i have a question on how u do that. do u seperate the sound file and import it also into flash. and wut frame rate do u doit at? i tried experimenting with a quicktime movie in flash trying to add over it but the swf played it back uneven. just some advice i guess if ud like a new student :D

[NOOB!]

*cough* after effects *cough*

[jakiloblanco]

I actually screwed up with the frame rate! i think the video was something like 25 fps and i imported it at 24.. which makes the audio track slide a little...( check out the end, it's totally off)

but yea, i brought in the video, in chunks, in flash 4, the sound too, and i rendered them all out as quictime files, and put them together, in Quicktime, and rendered it all out, as an mp4. i had 3 files... if i had put the whole thing in one file, the whole 2 minutes, flash crashed all the time.


thanks for the interest!
oh, -nelson-, i like your rough stuff. it's full of life, and its fun!

peace!
