Im getting my associates in Visual communications.

In school we had a very basic flash class just to present our portfolio.

However on my free time I want to start making animated shorts.

Heres my 2 second short that needs a lot of work.

I made a storyboard. And Personally this one was a test see if I could upload it and make it get the general idea down.

Im going to working on my animations in photoshop to make them look pixelated.

I'm here and ready to learn.

Hello. My name is Paul (boring name, yes, but there are many great people with the name Paul; take Paul Revere for example). I just want to say that I really like the art that is animation. I didn't join this forum to brag about my drawing skills (I have very little; the best thing that I ever drew was an ornate vace, and I lost that within a week after I drew it) or boast about my painting achievements (which I have none since I have never really painted anything before). In fact, I have joined this forum/bulliten board to learn from whoever is willing to teach me.

secondly(booo) what are some things you think added could make the job more enticing?

This is for my personal notes, views & discussion.
Thanx-

Hey guys n gals. so, i'm already a student, but i'm at a difficult point now. As many others are. A lot of my friends are leaving the school complaining about cost and how they don't feel the courses are effective. Well, they're not even finished with the first year. I personally feel I don't have room to base that kinda of judgement, especially in pursuit of an Animation degree. While they're only going for graphics design or game design (offered at state universities and local community colleges).

Music/animation collaboration

Forums 

I would like to pair one of our newly released songs with an animated sequence to form a music video. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in this. Do you have a piece in your portfolio that might fit with our music?

If you have time, give the songs a listen. The whole album is up here:
www.soundcloud.com/jealouscreatures
It ranges from rock to country-ish. We've been called "murky bluesy punk" and "western haze" by a local music critic.

Tech details about the process

Hello friends,

I am Vikram. I am interested in animation production. I tried to get the details that I am looking for on net, but could not find it.

I am interested in 2d animation with flash or any other tool/software.

What I want to know is once we have animation created with a software on our computer/PC

1> how do we merge the animation with the sound. I will have to take the service of a recording studio where the entire script's dialogues will be recorded (in which format? .wav, .mp3?)

Free BVH Movements

By kobagreen | Friday, June 3, 2011 at 4:29am
Forums 

Hi all. These BVH movements are completely free and can be imported directly into most animation software to give some funky movements to characters you've created. You do need to register but there is no cost or trial period. There are useful standard movements (stand, walk etc) as well as some funky ones like guitar playing and fighting. I would highly recommend "kick in balls".
They come direct from Animazoo, a leading motion capture specialist. :D

DVD burning

By ezdee | Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 2:43pm
Forums 

Hello all,

I am trying to burn my demoreel and student film onto a DVD but I know very little about encoding, compression settings etc. for the most reliable output to DVD. Right now, I only have access to iDVD

How should I export my film from AfterEffects to bring into iDVD to burn? I'm trying MPEG-2 DVD, but I don't know what bitrate settings are the best. If not MPEG-2 DVD, what else can I use?

Would really appreciate your help on this.

Pachow!

Hi! I'm a 13 year old Lukas, and I like drawing a lot (especially anime/manga). I wanna try to learn some animation, except with out computer programs, I think it's more fun using post it notes and such 8D

Insperational animations on TV right now to me are, Adventure time and the regular show.
I like using words like rad and funky, it makes everything more fun : D

If there's a picture posting board Ill post my art there, if not I'll just put it here.
Right now I'm on my iPod so I might have made a lot of spelling mistakes xD
