Description So here it is, my first animation in Flash. It´s a little mix of old illustrations and a copule of new ones (that wasn´t meant to end up in this animation, but did anyway. I probably will upload some of them in there original versions soon).

It´s really nice too see the illustrations come to life. I´m a little suprised that it wasn´t so much the motion that made the atmopsphere, but the sound. I had really fun with my keyboard and my microphone while doing this.

I also like to thank everyone who helped and supported me in learning Flash!

Except for Flash CS3, it´s made in Ilustrator CS3 an Painter IX.

Really a nice animation, especially for a first effort. As usual, I am delighted with your color-sense. Also your compositions good and textures are luxurious.
If I were to criticize, I would say that the audio part needs work - I don't know if it is my cheezy Dell speakers or what, but I could not understand the words in much of the spoken dialog. I would love to see a script for the dialog.
I love the eyeball "screen-saver."

Hey, thanks a lot! I had really fun doing this.

There is probably nothing wrong with you speakers. It was acctually my intention to make the sound very diffuse. But I can understand that it can be a little disturbing to almost hear the words but not really understand them.

Well then, if your not s'osed to understand the words, thas ok! It is kinda creepy - but creepy is good!

this is soooo hilarious! and creepy at the same time... obviously you already have all you need, which is imagination and creativity - the rest is just learning how to use tools, which anyone can do

Nice!
Were you making the images for the frames in flash? It looks like you were using illustrator, but maybe you just have awesome flash skills already

JCallius In reply to smelsmin [2009-01-07 14:20:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!
No, I´m just a beginner when it comes to Flash. Most of it are made in Illustrator and some in Painter.

Nice. I think Illustrator might work better than Flash for the images anyway.
Good work.

Awesome! I look forward to more.

I really liked the sound as well. It was a little quiet (and I have my volume up to above-average listening levels) but it's good to hear that you created them yourself.

Hey, thanks a lot. I´m glad you like it!
I really had problem when I imported the sounds to Flash. It lost a lot of quality, but I hope that problem will be solved when I learn a little more.

I agree about the sound.

For me, the atmosphere is aso created because you have such a distinct style, so everything fits together, and you feel like you're in a JCallius world...
