SethX's stuff

Ha, knew it.

Yeah good shit, man. I'm definitely going to keep vanishing points in mind from now on. Back in grade 10 I totally dismissed it as boring art class bullshit. Of course, I was sorely mistaken. Vanishing points, without the school theme, are interesting. How'd you make the grid animation, it by the way? How did you distort it into a trapezoid shape? Hell I don't know what you did exactly, so, care to explain it in detail?

BTW you seemed to neglect drawing the skateboard in the beginning, which Ladykaya pointed out when we discussed your animation on instant messenger (aren't you special). IDK what could've brought the skateboard in later on, but I'll just accept if it's a spoiler, ha.

Well the character always has his skateboard with him (either in his hand or on his back) So he pulled it off his back i guess. in the final cut ill add that in haha. also yeah i DO feel special that my aniamtion was worth a conversation. aaanyway the way i did the grid was,

Step one, Make a grid.

Steb two, pposition it and free transform it kinda how you want it

Step 3 : ctrl b (break the MC apart)

Step 4: hold ctrl and drag the corners "closer" to the camera with the free transform tool.

Alright thanks man.

The choreography/flow of the fight feels pretty decent, the camera angling seems pretty good. GJ

thanks brosquito~

Your becoming very good at this sethx.

Echo! Echo! The grid idea - the shit! I first saw it in use with Terkoiz in his FLLFFL demo.
...that flow was some of your best stuff. The angles. The pans. Those get thumbs. The actual moves themselves were simple as hell, though. If that's what fits the circumstances of the fight, it's all good, then.
*sits back* Fun-ness. You pretty much bodied that camerawork.

Yeah hitorio. i was going for a simple-ish realistic fight scene. simple and effective. 1 man beat down 5 dudes with a skateboard in less than 10 seconds. also thanks for all the great comments! it makes my heart look like thisss

How are you gonna go about cleaning the animation?

Well, as there are more people on the team, i pass it to the inbetweener for any extra inbetweens, then when he's done he passes it back to me and i draw the rough sketches, then i pass it to Tempo who is a FANTASTIC artist, and he does the clean coloured finish

Animated some reactions to an explosion. http://www.truploader.com/view/990666

Guy Nearest Camera: Oh, goodness me, what the fuck was that?
Guy Nearest Explosion: I'm gonna totally fucking dodge this shit-- Barrel Roll!
Guy Farthest from Camera: 3...2...1...

I'm surprised that you actually gathered that man3 caused the explosion... o.O

http://www.fileize.com/view/b77e56a1-cc0/ just messing around, animating whilst on skype with some friends :/

happy bday jettzin.

EDIT: got bored again. http://www.fileize.com/view/c84c8a65-8b9/

Crap, I didn't get to see the truploader one

The flow on the recent anim is alright, but damn look at that guy's little-ass legs. His Tailor must get a lot of business from him.
Hey, this might be a step above your level, but perhaps you can try drawing the smoke with the bricks? As one thing.

I keep making "BLAM" noises when the victim is swung through the conveniently placed brick wall. I like how you were animating and Skyping like a baus.

Heh. Looks like fileize is our new TRU.

@"fileize" ; Amen to that. Long live Jeff.

@ Edyrem ill reupload the truploader one. http://www.fileize.com/view/c401028f-ac7/

thanks bro for that
also lookin good with that there BIHZNAZZ guys
but edy is right the bodies are a bit off looking

Well their anatomy looked fine until i drew the suits on them. i made the shirt for the suits really long...

Great stuff Seth, you're like a steam train with all these animations.
I hope you have the rest of them in your hard drive, because surely the truploaded animations are gone now. Quite a shame though, I'd like if you uploaded all the old ones in chronological order so we can look at your gradient of progress

I hope you're far past the rotoscoping phase now. I reckon eventually you will reach a high level of skill where noobs might be inclined to actually rotoscope YOUR animation.
Of course, I mean that in a good way.

Im back into fullbody :/ check the front page for my terrible return!

swag

still good as ever i can see

Good to see you back on the non-stick animating.
The way you drew/colored the afro skater works well for informal presentation, I think. You should go ahead and animate moar like that (for now)
Just work on dat dere line drawing skills while you're at it and hopefully see the quality of your frames improve as the seconds go by.
Also, your ability to select certain poses to express the movement with as few drawings as possible is pretty good. Nonetheless, it still happened too fast. Also, the action itself was very unnatural looking. I went through it frame by frame and the perspective was warped and the skating/spinning action itself was not readable or believable.
