Another frantic stab at the digitalrendering.com four-hour animation showdown :D

 

Last night's topic was "Dance." Had grander visions but... oh well <_>

 

The soundloop by "DrLoop" was from Flashkit.com

Dances better than me!

Looks like you've got the synchronization of audio and video down pat.

Any suggestions for linking sound with animation?

 

I'm not looking for anything specific but... who knows I might want to add music to the pictures some day :)

 

Thanks for that link as well. I'll check it out.

quite the hip thrust on him  ;)
Ain't it shockin'? :o

 

But I was trying to put that "lead the body motion with the hips" principle into practice.

 

Any suggestions for linking sound with animation?
The first thing I did was stretch the sound loop out in Sound Forge so that it was EXACTLY (not "almost", not "nearly", not "pretty close to") 2 beats per second, aka 12 frames per beat. Then I tried to animate the bounces to land on every 12th frame.

 

Sounds obvious, but I've failed enough times before at that scheme that I was quite surprised when it slapped together just right with no time to spare.

 

maybe add some randomness to his body parts so things don't look so symetrical.....
Yup. The arm movement was a desperate last second addition. And the head's not doing anything.
