starving4rtist Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Beautiful! I loved it. I'm not the most knowledgeable person here on animation so you can wait for their critiques, but I really liked it. Quote
steamfish Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Great work. Funny - nice timing, do more - you're really good. Matt Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 18, 2004 Hash Fellow Posted November 18, 2004 I think that looks quite good. The first time I watched it I thought he was reacting too soon to the 2nd light. After I've looked at it some more, I'm thinking maybe his arms could be loosened up some in the way they move. Overlappping motion. But overall, it's a successful shot. Quote
starwarsguy Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 I love it! I haven't animated in a while and am working on my skills now. This is wonderful inspiration! Quote
ZachBG Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 Wow. That's really good. I'd love to see the final run in slo-mo. Quote
mediaho Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 Excellent!! Bravo. Very nice animation. Quote
dingo Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 Great work! I have a critique, I would agree with robcat2075 I would loosen his arms slightly with each step. Also, I would hold the pose of his sadness just a little longer for the audience to read, and then his run. That may give a little more time for build up before he bursts into the run. All in all, excellent work. Bravo...Bravo. peace, dingo Quote
nimblepix Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 WOW!!! That's some amazing crazy good animation Ernesto! Quote
luckbat Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 How long did it take you to design and animate it? Quote
Ernesto Esteso Posted November 18, 2004 Author Posted November 18, 2004 Wow!!, Thanks for the comments guys!!!!! I'm glad that the animation likes you Dingo and Robcat are right, the arms (hands,elbows, and shoulders), are my "weak point". When I acted this animation (yes,yes, I acted it ) I don't know what to do with my own arms, and that's the reason why the arms in my animations are so stiffy.... About how long I take to make this animation, is relative. I think that 3 weeks or a month, because I rigged the model with the 2001 skeleton, and add some bones to control some parts better, and then I began to animate, but one week later, I noticed that the animation was so boring and monotone than then I decide to start again, and spent one week more. Always in my spare time, one-two hours for day. Thanks again for the response Quote
Paul Forwood Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 Excellent! You obviously have a good feel for this. I like your simple yet effective use of the lighting also. Quote
