Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 8, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted August 8, 2010 I like that bird. Is he new? Or did I see him on the ark? Quote
TheSpleen Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 I like that bird. Is he new? Or did I see him on the ark? That was his great grand pappy bird. Quote
TheSpleen Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 Nice start Gene. Thanks! It will probably get more complicated. Quote
TheSpleen Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 Ah you spoiled the surprise.... SURPRISE! trust me I ain't even started yet! Quote
TheSpleen Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 This not finished but I found it fun. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 9, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted August 9, 2010 That black robe could use some sort of an edge texture or backlight to show it's shape a bit more Quote
dblhelix Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 oh so help me i love this. second day laughing at the same motion+reaction. you've really got me with this one. the very round eyes, the reaper's expression. i'm beginning to wonder if he has lice? and worried 'cause the scythe is so beak-like...

pixelplucker Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Can't wait to see the finished movie! Quote

thefreshestever Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 haha... that´s going to be a good one. i love the characters! but what´s up with the reeper´s right hand? parkinson? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 30, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted August 30, 2010 you can plus the motion of the bird snapping at the butterfly by having the head "anticipate" the forward motion by going backward briefly first. Quote
TheSpleen Posted August 30, 2010 Author Posted August 30, 2010 you can plus the motion of the bird snapping at the butterfly by having the head "anticipate" the forward motion by going backward briefly first. Thanks! Rendering that now. Quote
dblhelix Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 that is anarchy gone ostrich. quite un-anticipated move! Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 It's gotta happen I hope it is ok I made four clips, they are quite short. Quote
dblhelix Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 ok ok ok now i know why you're called TheSpleen - i'm splitting mine laughing at your films. this is so brilliant that there's an interesting dilemma with today's clip: the one trying to fly out of the trash can. it's too good to start the clip. seriously. he's like a punchline he's so good. he stole the show completely. it wasn't until the fourth (5th?) viewing i discovered the darling discombobulated bulgy-eye in the drain. your films could make a.. running joke i think it's called? is it? was that weird? not my first language! i mean that they would be strewn between other films. in which case the pappy bird picking reaper probably works better in the shorter version? it would amplify the reaper-dynamic and the delectable end result; starting small, building up. is there an after life special?

nimblepix Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Man, that's entertainment! I love it's quirky drollness. That's a very good thing. Quote
Paul Forwood Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Could it be another fart joke? Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 Could it be another fart joke? no but thats a good idea. actually it is smoke from him seething in anger. but the Death Fart could be funny. lol Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 Here they are in order so far: Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 13, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted September 13, 2010 How about if we didn't have any fart jokes? Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 How about if we didn't have any fart jokes? I am not using any fart joke. but if someone does then I see nothing wrong with a good fart. farts are funny, even to women, the fart joke is a classic used for thousands of years. I am willing to bet Shakespeare had a fart joke at the ready if needed. Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 After a week of work and rendering I was never happy with the smoke scene. So now I am truly gonna test myself and see if I can make Death juggle one or two of em. Not gonna be easy. LOL Quote
Admin Rodney Posted September 20, 2010 Admin Posted September 20, 2010 You are out of control. I love it. I am not using any fart joke. Cool... and opportunity to express my opinion on fart jokes. Gotta mark this day on my calendar. My one true test in the 'I've given up and don't know how to make this thing work' category is the use of toilet humor. A fart joke almost never fails to get a laugh (if nothing else the shock value alone tends to work) but it's rarely the kind of laugh you want associated with your work in the long term. Side splitting laughter may ensue but it will still devalue the work. Better to understand how the anticipatory build up of the sequence led to an expected outcome but the presentation of a different result caught the audience off guard, then reset the scene for a different joke.

TheSpleen Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb3cqEeJu6c First try, I will add in more one at a time. testtoss4.mov Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 Ready to add another bird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb3cqEeJu6c Quote
wedgeeguy Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Gene ... I'm digging the Grim Reaper ... Not sure how the Audubon Society feels about all the bird carnage but that's their problem. Nice job! Rodney wrote regarding using fart jokes: "Better to understand how the anticipatory build up of the sequence led to an expected outcome but the presentation of a different result caught the audience off guard" .... If that doesn't perfectly describe what a fart is then I don't know what else could ... Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 I am considering just using the first three and moving on to my next big project. Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 24, 2010 Author Posted September 24, 2010 finished http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb3cqEeJu6c Quote
dblhelix Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 ahhh. it was so good i had to back and watch all the others. when clicking the third, the family-part, i recieved this error message: "500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you see them, show them this:" and then a bunch of code. it felt so right, the kind of message you get in Spleenland, that i can't be bothered to worry whether it was a virus... Quote

Did ya show em? Quote
Paul Forwood Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Well done, Gene! I think there could be a little more force in the Reaper's juggling actions but on the whole I would say that is your best yet. Do me a favour... put his hideousness on a bus, (or under it), and send him away for a long holiday. Been seeing too much of his ugly mug lately. Quote
TheSpleen Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 I hope I have not overdone it. Quote
