Bouncy, bouncy!

Here's the start of something I've been working on to keep on learning Flash as I've picked up the basics better now at Trunk then I had done before. It's Fat Wolverine bouncing towards the screen, I first did the yellow outline, then added the blue, I'll keep on at it when I have the time free, but I'm pretty pleased with the movement and I didn't even look at reference of animated bouncing balls!

NB: Blogger seems to have squashed the video so I'll render out another version soon, but you get the idea, at the end it's just the outline and yellow on white is hard to see - he stops, looks about then jumps off again, in case you couldn't make it out.

I'm popular in...

Istanbul! - I found out that my film was selected and shown last weekend at the Istanbul Animation Festival, Bianca's was also shown the day before, at least one person liked it and told me so on my DeviantArt page!

On 29th and 30th of November the Nottingham based BANG! short film festival will be showing my film at the Bangimation part of the event on the 30th.

I have also been doing a bit more work on my Fat Superheroes animation, this time Wolverine skipping, at the moment it's just the skeleton though, it needs a some tweaking and obviously the colouring added to it.

In other news:

• I am going to see The Dark Knight again in IMAX with Jane.
• I will be helping Bianca move to England and going skiing over Christmas.
• I hope to finish my War animation before the January 2009.
  

3 Superheroes walk in to a bar...

It's not finished yet, I'll put some sound to it at some point and keep adding new animations to the three characters, hope you like them.

Swim in a deep sea of blankets.

Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.



Seriously I drink so much water that it's a danger to others.



Sentinel: Stand aside, I must apprehend that mutant.
Gambit: Hey! Apprehend this!

Logan and his hotdog.

Well, after trying to load this onto GoogleVideo and it seemingly failing despite it's assurances that it hadn't I decided to try to just load straight into Blogger, and that worked ~ woohoo!

Anyway, long time, no write, I know... I have been getting on with work mostly, today I recorded some sounds and learned a bit more about Logic (thanks to the lovely John) and last night I drew these guys...



initially it was just Fat/Batman, and then I figured Wolverine would be funny large and in his classic costume, then I needed a third one and since I didn't fancy drawing Spiderman's webbing on his costume I figured Superman would do for now. I might draw more, oh, and they were all done without sketching, just using the Wacom tablet entirely!

Look at me, paperless...

I've booked in to various rooms for more drawing and recording for the first half of next week, Tuesday's going to be VERY busy, with drawing/flash/crit/recording!!!

All in all, it's going well, I mean, clearly in my mind I have enough time to postulate on what superheroes would be like with a little less exercise in their regimes.
