delayed

Oops

Been a little busy and managed not to write anything

Am supposed to be doing the Terminator flash as ive posted but harddrive has had issues so am working on getting everything back without any loss so once its back il carry on,

In the meantime

If you have ever watched on youtube flash animation or seen any in google, I discovered an old flash animation which I thought was very interesting, very plain,easy on the eyes and addictive.

Its called Salad Fingers
                                   \
I have decided to have ago at making it, or emulating it to a degree, I want to see if i can make something as basic as this because if I can I can do anything.



unavailable unless flash is enabled

Above is a 5/10 second preview of my copy with no voice yet, maybe gaps in speaking, am working on it
let me know what you think

not too bad

Frame 2

Gotta admit its not too bad, yeh it would need smoothing out which am not gonna do,
well don't think i'm gonna

Finished num 2

It looked better than I originally though it would, however on closer view it looks shite clumpy, colours are choppy too messy,overlapping but if i view it from a smaller view it should be fine.

What next??


I need to sort the 1st frame out I think. Colours are too many making it look overly confusing and messy, also as they match in size the colours dont match so il have to sort them

next frame the beginning

Next frame

I have started to do the next 1, I was gunna do it tomorrow but am really in the mood so il just keep making it until I get too tired or bored.

The Next frame shot

Its not much but I've only been at it 15 mins, but I'll get this finished tonight and see how it looks flicking from the 1st to this. ...well see

not looking too bad




first part face complete

First face attempt complete

Right I have the 1st frame of my 1st pic of the scene of the floor and liquid terminator starting to come out of the floor.  Personally




Personal opinions so far


Personally am not impressed.

Maybe its the colours, I know its gunna look odd as its a head coming out of a floor, but something just doesn't seem right. 

Next

Will do next scene or maybe next 2 to see how they go, if it doesn't look right I maybe starting again. 

Im kinda dissapointed in myself,  I know ive only just started but I can do better than this.

Flash projects

Four years ago I was manually making Flash animations  however for the last 2 years ive been too busy, however now its time to get back in to the game.

If you remember from Terminator 2 in the police station theres the scene with the fat cop getting a coffee, then liquid terminator comes out of the floor and kills him.

My Plan


  • Manually draw each scene frame by frame
  • I am unsure if I want to use scripts yet
  • try and get the auto to match up (if i decide to use audio)
  • convert to video format
  • upload on to my site and others including youtube
When?
I have already started.
I will work daily and post daily updates on my progress.

What I have so far?
