anyway, i'm going to skip this file and move on.

thanks for looking into it, really appreciate the effort.

That prompt was when you tried to run my file?

i can see ricardo's file. but as he didn't upload the pictures too, i just can see "broken link" images. the AS file needs the image files. the option is that you manually re-link each part of each image layer (head, arms, etc) to your anime studio characters included in the content (aya ...

I was playing with AS trying to do a scene in a single file with different camera angles. I used some 'ready to load' characters (that has more than one side available) to do it. Here are some kind of story board: http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/927/take1jw6.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/5...

Now I added the usual group menu. I also updated the group menu part in all of the other tools so please, if upgrade, replace these and even the utility/fa_sharedutils.lua file. ADDED - Replace Line tool: and I added a freehand tool style line width handling, and an individual point selection/trans...

Yes, both.

Just the quicktime not, but flash and others yes.
Im using Vista a dont know what fails here with quicktime.

Thanks for your answers!!

I'd like to point at some very important fact which seems to be overlooked in this discussion: You're doing animation. That means, you don't work within the same restrictions as a director dealing with actors and a physical camera and a physical setting. You are restricted in other aspects, but doi...

hey ricardo, i got something done, sorta copycat emotional moment. though the camera is placed near the face to show facial expression. this style is very common among manga and anime... i made the eyes look super EMO. i need to learn more on 2/3 angle, probably do more sample/test animations. movi...

i'd like to learn the basics and then go my own route, i mean develop my own style. Right. Remember law 1 (as they teach me): You are telling a story, not trying to impress audience. All this stuff is just a tool the be able to tell a story. The wise use is using angles and camera shots as you NEED...

When i was studing cinematographic language, as homework the teachers always ask me to watch movies (not TV programs because they shot in a different way), but in this case watch cartoons could help a lot too... and try to notice all the different camera shots and edition that directors uses to tell...

ricardo, i think there is a solution for the 3/4 views by limiting the movements of the arm and legs. then do a layer switch when the arm swings a different angle. i'll work on this tonight and see if i can implement it. this is going to be my first attempt at layer switching, though. so it may tak...

thank you for the quick response, i really appreciate the time and effort you made. Thanks. I love this kind of subject. I like very much the cinematographic stuff (i worked in some USA movies as assistant of the assistant of the assistant of the assitant he he. Movies that was filmed in Mexico, al...

Hey Ricardo! Those free cinematographic lessons are splendid! Thanks for share!! -G Thanks. Note: I notice that i made many typos too, so not only bad english but typos... but i was writing almost in the dark because its 10:300 hrs here and my little son (4 yo) is sleeping in the living room until ...

dlangdev I dont know almost anything about fight scenes :( But i guess it could be very interesting to plan and direct one of them! For movies (maybe not for animation, im not sure) i think they split all the fight into "chunks" and take a lot (but a lot) of shots for each one, having a lo...

The main difference betwen movies and soap operas, is that in movies they take the time to plan all this and have a complex set of shots to do a very nice edition. In TV usually they have 2 or 3 cameras that switches from the same scene in real time and the switcher is changing from one to other in ...
