shaunf Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I had a little play around with the Mr Ball character. Here it is if people are interested in having a look. http://www.shaunfreeman.com/samples/mr_ball_small.mov The sound is a little slapped together, but you get the picture. Its about 3.8 Mb Quote
adamP Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 That was great! I can't stop laughing at the part when he's running in the background. good stuff! Quote
ZachBG Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Awwww, maaaaaan! Again you give us all something to look up to, Shaun. Great stuff! :) Quote
cosmonaut Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 HA! Nicely done. Shows you don't need some super complicated character for great animation. Just curious, about how long did this take you? Quote
Admin Rodney Posted August 7, 2004 Admin Posted August 7, 2004 Egad! Now someone getting beat up, crashed, smashed, poked and projected more than good ol' Thom himself!!! very...Very... VERY nicely done! Bravo! Quote
Eos Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Nice kaboom! really irreverent story! I liked the running! Quote
Parlo Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Really, really strong - The running made me laugh alot. Great stuff! Quote
shaunf Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 Thanks very much for the comments chaps. I had fun animating it. Thanks to Sam for suggesting I have a play with him. It's certainly a great little character to test out the animation basics with! Cosmonaut: It didn't actually take very long to animate. I did the majority of it last sunday. It took about 6 hours? And then a little tidy up tuesday evening, before getting it rendering. So all up maybe 8 hours? I was pretty happy with how quick it took. (admittedly, ball man has only three main bones, so there's not that much to think about... :-) There's a few aspects that I could still work on but it was rendering by the time I noticed it so I haven't tweaked it any further.

Sharky Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Hi Shaun! I watched your animation and it is wonderful movie clip! In this clip the sound effects,movements and effects are very good! I like it too, same as the all of your work! Nice job! ..and a question: When do you show us a small sample from your short animation ? Cheers, Sharky! Quote
shaunf Posted August 9, 2004 Author Posted August 9, 2004 HI Sharky, If I do any test animation of my characters I'll definately post those, but I'm not planning to show people any clips of the actual short film until its finished. I don't wanna give it all away! :-) Quote
genius loci Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 very very funny, very simple character and it show just how far I have to go... thanks for sharing! Quote
JohnArtbox Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 heh heh heh I needed that. Very Cool Shaun Quote
starwarsguy Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 grt job i especially like how well the sound went with the animatio Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 9, 2004 Hash Fellow Posted August 9, 2004 Great stuff! I like the way that showing the result is funnier than actually seeing it Quote
JBarrett Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 VERY nice work! Really fun little clip there. As with many others, one of my favorite bits is his run in the distance. Really well executed! Woohoo! Quote
Sharky Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Hi Shaun! Ok, I understand your viewpoint in this question! I think that you are a GREAT ANIMATOR I say it from my experiences! I will wait your short animation in the future. Cheers, Sharky Quote
Nosferatu Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Great work, Shaun. Would you tell us exactly how you distorted (stretched) the ball? Did you use distortion mode, or a bone? Brian Quote
