Remember the animatic that I showed you a couple of posts ago? Well, I’ve been working on it in my spare time and I thought I’d showed you some more. I decided to give this iShowU HD screen recording software a try and record a time lapse of the frame-by-frame animation work on my Pulp Fiction clip. I hope you enjoy it.
As you can see, there’s a lot of trial and error. Sometimes it is easier to erase everything and start over. I hope you like it. I’ll post a more detailed one, once the final clip is judged over at CartoonSmart’s contest. Don’t be shy, leave a comment. Cheers!
I know, I know. This is supposed to be a blog about animation and illustration, but I would not be able to bring these words to your browser if it wasn’t for the collective work of 218 contributors who just released the latest version of one of the best blogging and CMS platforms out there. Today, WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” became available and it just looks beautiful. I would like to take a moment to say:
Thank you guys, you did a superb job.
To celebrate their efforts, I activated the shiny new default Twenty Ten Theme in place of my usual Frugal Theme, and I intend to keep it that way until I make a few adjustments to how I run this little corner of the internet. Who knows, it might stay that way even after that. The header image is part of the first background I painted with Toon Boom products. Toon Boom Studio to be exact. I leave you with a video of the new features of WordPress. Cool stuff! Oh and it’s all open source. So, even cooler!
I’ll see you in a couple of days with new illustration things to share. Been working on some cool things besides that Pulp Fiction clip. Now go install WP in your own site.
CartoonSmart.com is holding an animation contest and the first prize is a full working copy of Animate Pro. All you have to do is recreate 15 seconds of your favorite non-animated movie with ToonBoom Animate and add it to this Vimeo group. (you can also use the Personal Learning Edition).
I am entering this contest and I’ve already chosen a clip from a movie I love. Here’s the animatic, although the final version might end up surprising you. Connect with me on Twitter for more updates.
