Description So this started as a test for my frame-by-frame animation skills. You can tell I didn't do that method for the whole movie, but you can tell I sort of tried to. Key word being "sort of", because a fair amount is animated in twos rather than every frame (so it's about an average of 18 fps even though it's technically at 24.) The excessive textures are a strategy I've been using lately to get away with applying a lot less effort than it would initially seem. It takes surprisingly little to achieve this effect, but it looks pretty

Also, Sari legitly helped write this. I'm training her.

And yes, my dad is really like that in public. It's embarrassing.

Lastly, easter egg. Need I say more?

Yep, all in Flash. You can make a texture in Photoshop or any other program, import it to the Flash library, and then use a bitmap fill rather than a solid colour or gradient. Although, I think I sort of overused the effect in this... oh well, it was a learning experience.

Guess who wrote his lines. Hint: It wasn't me. Another hint: Just look at the pun. Seriously. There's only one guy in the world who would say that.

pahgawk In reply to Wilpah [2011-07-26 01:44:10 +0000 UTC]

I went a bit nuts with various brushes/filters in Photoshop and then imported it into Flash. There's an option to do a bitmap fill (in the dropdown that has Solid/Linear/Radial/Bitmap in the color panel)

Ahahaha!! Dave, this is glorius! Really nice job with the frame by frame, as well as the story - how long did it take you to make this, anywho? You're so dedicated. o3o I wouldn't have the motivation to finish something this big.

Well, I started it about two months ago, animated the first scene, and then stopped until the end of school, at which point I promptly worked on this instead of enjoying the nice summer weather. Anyway, I'm glad you like it
