Thanks, that is neat, a little different than what I had in mind. We've thought about several different approaches, including ones that don't use animation at all (closeups of toy cars and bikes as if a child is playing with them), people in a car costume, etc. Still figuring this out.

Hi. Haven't been here in a long time. Am planning on a music video involving inconsiderate cyclists and the motorists they annoy. Ultra low/no budget, so certain things are really out of the question done as live action since we don't want anyone to, you know, die. One of the alternatives I'm thinki...

The AS work was in animating God and Jesus and the roaches (never thought I'd use that in a sentence). They were images I cut up into layers in photoshop.

Hey guys. Long time no post new material. I have a new short film. It is not about Jewish Ninjas. In fact, I would say it nigh defies description. So far I have "blog post crossed with fever dreams of a long-time shroom addict." Sort of appropriate for Halloween. NOW, bear with me. At firs...

Ok so did a test. exported one of the movies from ASP at 23.98 and brought it into Premiere, attempted to sync the audio again with this new file. Bammo. That was it. So kids, always check your framerates and make sure they match. It may be totally unnecessary even in NTSC to be 23.98 if NOT working...

As I said, It's a video thing probably more than an animation thing. I'm integrating this with live action. Unless you're working with actual film, video at "24fps" is actually always at 23.98/23.976 (when shooting or posting). Just like 30 fps video is really 29.97. It's an NTSC thing. Ha...

Hi folks. Long time no post. So I created something in ASP 9, exported as QT movie, brought movie into Apple Motion, did stuff, exported, editing In Premiere. Everything looked okay, but I notice in Premiere, when I try to sync up my recorded voices with the lip movements, matching how I did it in A...

Ah. I'm not the only one right? You guys get spam too? Come on, don't make me feel singled out.

Hey guys. I've gotten two notifications of replies in the last few months to a thread I started a while ago, but when I click the link (from the email message) to go look at the new post, it tells me "the thread or post you specified does not exist" (or some wording to that effect). I've m...

Thing is though, I am ALL those roles and positions (writer, director, editor). If I needed to (I haven't done it yet), I could storyboard the whole thing out to figure out what stuff I really need and what I could live without without compromising the project.

Thanks. I will keep all this in mind. I'd still like some other folks to chime in with their thoughts. Wait, duh. . .I guess if I was more specific with what I wanted, I could keep costs down by keeping your workload down, right? E.g. don't need to see the room from this angle, only this angle, same...

Ok, so that clarifies a few things. Sounds like you personally go by hour instead of character/BG etc. Fair enough. For this particular series I have a sort-of established visual "style", from which I would try not to deviate too far (e.g. backgrounds are always perfectly perpendicular to ...

Hi, all. Long time no log in. Hope this is the right forum for this--if not, feel free to move. You may remember me if you saw my "Ninjews" (animated Jewish Ninjas) cartoons on here a while back. One of the reasons I have only done a few is the incredible time commitment that goes into cre...

Hi guy. If anyone is interested, they went ahead allowed me to get a refund, no problem. You have to fill out a "letter of destruction" form where you enter your name, the software, etc. ,and promise that you've destroyed emails with reference to the serial number and uninstalled the softw...

Does anyone know exactly how this works? If I were to insert the serial # they gave me, does it register online? So that I could prove I have in fact NOT entered the serial number?
