["Ebon: chapter 2, scene 4" - anime-style two-minute short]

Liked the work so far, but I am not able to view the movie. I don't even get asked to download the new CODEC from QuickTime. Maybe it's something I'm doing?

As always, thank you for your comments.

 

The exchange of creativity with Hashers from the "four corners" is truly awesome.

RE: The squash and stretch:

 

I chose not to add any "squash" since the ball is metal and wasn't the style I wanted. However, stretch at the top of arc was put into place. I've enclosed that section of the Y-Channel as a screen shot.

 

This graphic includes the initial drop from the wall and then the bounces. I also gradually shortened the length of hang time as the ball lost its energy; initially the ball from bounce to bounce was in 20 frame intervals, reduced to 10 frame intervals.

I performed tweaks using the submitted suggestions. Here'ss the “final” version; however, I question the length (32 seconds). I ask the group for its opinion. Please bear in mind this would open a company's demo reel and be used as an opener for a commercial directing reel. It is not geared toward getting a job with a company as an animator, if that has any sway on the comments & critiques.

 

I’m still building the effects track.

It’s a QuickTime file 32 seconds, 4 Megs.

Excellent suggestions everyone. So I humbly say, "Thank you." I will begin incorporating them and post the next go around soon.

Hey Hashers,

 

I'm posting the opening segment to my director's/demo reel. The Quicktime clip is 20 seconds and 4 MB.

 

Essentially, this will be the lead in to the actual reel clips. I still have to build/add the effects track.

C&C are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance,
