First Animation using Tablet.





I had to fix the gif in The GIMP, and i couldnt quite work out how to extend the length of the frames, so it's a bit quick.

More angles in my Animation.

I just finished watching the genius of Richard Williams...(animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit) and I though I needed more angels in my animation.





I have to work on the foreshortening...quite tricky.

One problem with Flipbook...


There seems to be one problem with Flipbook!.....it doesn't seem to like very complex animation. I tried animating a jumping character and it kind of crashed my browser, and I lost it. Very sad. Here's a compromise.:

** This is a REALLY cool and nifty thing for making cool little
animatied films! Awsome stuff. It's actually quite interesting because it
makes you draw "rawly" i.e. you cant rub out so if you make a mistake, you either leave it or start that frame all over again.
