OH MY GOSH! This was one of the best things I've ever seen!
Excellent!

Thanks everyone!

Some folks had trouble opening the windows media version of that film so I've redone it as a much smaller Quick Time Movie file which can be viewed here:

I know this is not that good, animation-wise, but I'm learning a lot about A:M by working on this. I build a scene, render it, change something, render it again, add some different materials, render it again, etc... and I'm trying to learn more about about compositing and all that that entails.
So it's a good exercise for me.
Here's the link to the film:

I thought I'd post this just for the heck of it. The audio needs a lot of work, especially the dialogue as it's almost indecipherable unless you know what it says.
But if you're interested, the dialogue goes:
"Houston, this is Sub-Flight One. I just saw something fall out of space. Are you showing anything on radar? Over."
"Roger that Sub-Flight One. We don't know what it is, but it's coming up fast on your six. Over."
"Roger Houston. I'm going to try to lose it in the clouds."
"10-4. Keep us posted."
"Houston! They're shooting at me! They're shooting at me."

I know it's stupid... but I haven't been using A:M at all for the last few months and I was wanting to do something fast just to get myself reaquainted with the software.

Check the very first post on page one of this topic. It lists the times the film festival is showing.
There were some really interesting films on there. Quite a breadth of medium to create them too.
Other than <ETC>, which was visually much better looking than any of the others, I really enjoyed the one with the little boy telling the story of his new dog the best. I was trying to figure out if they recorded this little kid telling an actual story about a dog and then decided to create an animation around that...or if they made up the whole story and added the animation to go with it. I suspect the former.

Saw your movie on Nick Toons a few minutes ago. Very, very cool.

Thanks everyone! Excellent feedback! Very useful to me!
I guess now that I've had a little bit of fun using other people's models and played with putting together some choreographies, that now I'll start working on my modeling skills.
I want to figure out how to build a reusable environment or set so that I don't have to recreate the wheel each time I go to a new chor.
Thanks again!

Hi,
I have been using A:M since about August, thereabouts and this is easily the most fun I have ever had with a computer!
I have to say though, I am overwhelmed with all the different things that a single person can do with A:M and all the thousand little things that need to go in to even a simple animation (i.e., lighting, models, perspective, sets, backgrounds, music, sound effects, etc...)
Having said all of that, and after these last few months of trying one thing, only to give up on it and move on to something else new in A:M and then back again... I have FINALLY mangaged to keep myself focused on one project and have put together something longer than one of the exercises in the A:M manual...
The backgrounds were created using the Universe package and a free-ware landscape generator called Genesis.
The model came from www.Animationpitstop.com and the music is of course, all John Williams. I assembled all of it using Vegas Studio.
So...while the hardest work by far was done by the extremely talented people who created the model of the xWing and the people who wrote Universe, and of course, the composer John Williams, I did do a little bit on my own by creating an actual sequence of four separate choreographies and putting them altogher.
Anyway...here's the first "major" animation I've done.

Brutally honest feedback is welcomed as there is no better way for me to learn!
Thanks!

Yeah, I've been writing about the IBM AS/400-iSeries for about 7 years. First for Midrange Computing magazine for 4 years and now for an online publication at www.midrangeserver.com. It's the kind of stuff, that, if you're not in that particular industry, you probably would find it pretty dry.
I used to do it full time for a few years, but now I only write part time and work a full time job as a programmer.
Here's a link to a few of the things I've written.

And, if you're interested...here's a link about me.

Animation has always been of great interest to me. I used to make those "flip-it" style animations way back when, in junior high school and then as I got older, I just kind of got away from it. When I stumbled across A:M at a convention a couple of weeks ago, I was immediately drawn to it. In fact, I'm probably going to get myself in trouble at work because I've been playing with A:M, learning how to use it, exploring it's features, instead of working. ha! Oh well... all work and no play...

You didn't mention who's going to pay for all of this.
Some of us make at least part of our livelihood as professional writers.

This was a weekend project. I wanted to experiment with some composting and chroma screens (harder than I thought! You've gotta get the lighting just right!) and basically just do something fun that I could also use to learn more about the software.
So...here it is! My five minute silent film:

Be warned...this is a 39.5 meg download so if you don't have broadband, you probably don't want to try downloading this.
Enjoy!
