Description "Here we go - Tidal 4 Elements Style, this'll be to 50."

-----

I've hardly done kiriban stuff - but I thought that finally reaching 50k hits on my page would be a good chance to put something together for you all to enjoy watching.

This animation was popped together last year in Flash over a good few lengthy months in anticipation of reaching 50k hits on my page. Was also to really put some motion skills to the test, too.

Thanks again everyone for the 50k hits and for all the support, comments, and watches over the years.

--
Good 'ol return of that old staff, and some fun with the huge book.
I hope you enjoy watchin

Submitted in Films to allow ya to comment on parts ya liked n such. Might get me to think about stuff if I get around to making another one. ; p

Take care, be safe

I doubt I can start to explain how much awesomeness this is. it's so freakin' smooth that it makes me wanna hug my screen... seriously...
fluid movements, great moves and some beautiful dreamy music... everything fits so well and makes it to a wonderful whole... great job, TN

carnival [2009-06-25 13:54:22 +0000 UTC]

..i think, more than anything~~ i just dig the slight expressional stuff you include into animations......... they just give them that added 'life' \|'3

your movement is superb also TN, as well and sound-timing and overall 'rythum' for both frame-rate and audio cues~~

very nice lil' peice..! :'D you gonna work on it anymore? *follow it through the solid line-art and colour?? :'3

TidalNight In reply to Slayer-1412 [2009-06-04 23:31:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - A lot of people seem to ask about timing, the answer is more what you want to happen, and then animating it.

Hamura [2009-05-30 00:04:54 +0000 UTC]

This... is... brilliance~ How did you do this?? Like, what did you do to prepare frames? Only Flash was used? Which Flash?? How did you figure out how many frames to use for each scene?? How many frames ARE in each scene??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TidalNight In reply to Hamura [2009-05-31 06:16:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - This was all animated in Flash CS3, though the older versions could handle it easily.
Nothing much was really done to prep ant frames, mainly just little guide figure scribbles as I set up each scene.
As for figuring out the number of frames, its more wanting the motion, and then using however many frames were needed to get the motion.
And as for how many frames were drawn n stuff, was well over a thousand.

Simple style with creative flowing motion eh? I consider this proof why people call you sensei. (I also had a feeling you are a sage with your mastery and understanding of the elements.)

Thaylien [2009-05-26 17:10:06 +0000 UTC]

That was perfect!

The sketchy style you favour with the flowing tai-chi forms you love... fantastic ^^

I'm genuinely impressed, and that's even having seen your previous animations. Well done.

FN!

Amazing beyond compare. I'll have to draw more pics of us, a quiz I took at one point that took your birth year and set you into an element pointed me at metal for some odd reason so I'll do that.
