trajcedrv Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 This is approximately half of the music video that was made as comment on political process and ability of members of the parliament of my country... http://trajcedrv.mylivepage.com/file/?fileid=493 (You'll probably need to copy link and paste it in your browser to be able to download it) Unfortunately I didn't made it on time for the elections this year, and you'll probably miss the whole message... so what... I hope that you'll like the music (My wife Marina composed it) and if you really, really want to know, I'll post rough English translation. (Words by my Brother, John) I wasn't going for perfect animation (I tried to be as fast as possible), but basically I love how it turned out... Most of the animation is the second pass and it could use some touch-ups... As for the second pass animation I also am very satisfied with lip-synch, and the character turned out to be fairly expressive, although it is simplicity itself There is one character that was pasted into choreography, but I forgot to assign it to its path (you'll notice it) and near the end animation is simply unfinished. As it is, it will probably remain unfinished, but I would really like to share and see what you (A:M Gals and A:M guys) think... Drvarceto Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 18, 2006 Hash Fellow Posted September 18, 2006 Hey, that was wonderful! You should finish that. The great thing about democracy is that the politicians never get any better so you can probably bring this out for the next election and it will still work. Whatever it's saying... Quote
NancyGormezano Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 pooey - not able to get it to download Quote
Duke Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Sad would love to see it but cant get it downloaded, in Firefox or IE. Leo Quote
trajcedrv Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 Visit http://trajcedrv.mylivepage.com/ and from "file archive", download "pratenik one day 12..." It should work! Quote

The great thing about democracy is that the politicians never get any better so you can probably bring this out for the next election and it will still work. Whatever it's saying... Robcat, THANKS! Since there were no other responses, I've concluded this: 1. Nobody was able to download it (I've tried, it works, Robcat did) 2. Nobody wanted to waste bandwidh (Animation is 6.8MB) 3. Way to boooooring (it has singing and dancing in it) 4. It is so badly done, that it does not deserve any comment (mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...) So, to spice up things a bit, these are several frames from the animation... wahdda' ya think? [attachmentid=20760] [attachmentid=20761] [attachmentid=20762] [attachmentid=20763] [attachmentid=20764] [attachmentid=20765] [attachmentid=20766] [attachmentid=20767] Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 20, 2006 Hash Fellow Posted September 20, 2006 The first time I tried to download it I didn't see that there was a 30 second counter that had to expire before the download began. (it's in tiny type). And then when it does begin it will be in the browser window instead of a "save as" file, so that's easy to miss also. So... if anyone is trying to download it, that page does work, it just doesn't look like it will when you first get there. Leave the page open for a while. Quote
steves Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 It's a cool animation. I didn't understand it, but I liked it. The political side of the animation escaped me, but the group dancing in sync had an Irish feel to it. You should finish it. Steve Quote
trajcedrv Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Robcat, visiting your site "Tiny, tiny monkeys" called for my attention, I came to see that you have even more critical perception of the politicians than I do... Anyway, here is (pretty much word for word) translation of the lyrics of the first verse: (so don't expect great poetry in english here) Empty days are rolling I am good for nothing My head fills thick My aura grays I think I have something But everything slips my fingers Where are you good days Where are you now Refrain: I am so bad at school, Maybe I should run for Parliament I'll vote when cued I'll look good on TV I hope that this clarifies things a bit...

Duke Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I tried, I really tried,,, I even tried it Robcat's way,,, waited for ever and all it does is count down and restart the countdown when it gets to 0 and the download link appears, it starts over again. I tried to just leave it, nothing, I have even tried to save target as on the blue letters at the end of the count down,, still nothing. I really would like to see this, as I am making a music video as we speak, and its always encouraging to see someone elses work... I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just plain stupid Quote
Stuart Rogers Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I wasn't going for perfect animation (I tried to be as fast as possible), but basically I love how it turned out...I like it, and if you're satisfied with it then all the better. I would have put a little sideways shear on the characters when they were jumping slightly to the side, and maybe offset some of the jumps by a frame or two so that they didn't all launch at exactly the same time, but that's all third-pass stuff. I like the hurried, wobbly movement of the background characters as they wander by. Quote

Duke Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Hi there I finally got to see it, the one on youtube.com worked. I like it, the idea of using primitives stacked together in the background works well. I like the simplicity of it. (Im referring to the background) one can easily overdo it and you got it right. I'm sorry If I came across as rude, It wasn't my intention. thanx for being patient with me. good work Leo Quote
