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...

Im noy able to view the .mov file on my browser. I dont know why (because on my desktop i can) so i will try to download the file. Maybe you can take some shtos to your animation, to build some kind of storyboard witrh the images, to see the different camera shots. i'll try posting it on youtube or...

dlangdev - i've had a couple of strange 'cracks' recently... if i just moved a point thye dissapeared... if your porblem is actually around a SHAPE though (and not random) i think its to do with filling shapes on top of eachother or something (there was something recently on the "How do i...&q...

background music: mission impossible.

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. movie...

watching is definitely a good thing, though it only goes as good as imitation.

i'd like to learn the basics and then go my own route, i mean develop my own style.

in the meantime, studying different styles is what got me into this.

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 take...

thank you for the quick response, i really appreciate the time and effort you made. i noticed two camera positions require 3/4 views, which is kind of hard to rig. just by planning the movements with respect to rigging, this will require lots of layer switches. by the way, i noticed you used overhea...

interesting. if it won't burden you, maybe you can answer some questions: 1) if you're given a work on setting up a fight scene, how would you storyboard the scene? 2) are there styles in filming an action ( ninja ) fight scene? 3) what is your opinion of the current style of fight scenes they use i...

thanks for sharing your thoughts, ricardo. i really appreciate them, especially the directing part, how cameras are put to work in order to define a sequence of scenes. i think this is a different set of skills altogether, requiring a new level of mindset. anyway, i'm expecting more contributions co...

just a side note... i'm doing a self-study on human anatomy for several months now, and i'm at the point where two skills need to match: animation and anatomy. if there's a group willing to do a study on it, i'd be very much interested. regarding the ball animation, i'm definitely in to it. i'm alwa...

nice work. professionally done.

i was thinking about scripting in ASP5, then you write something about how cool scripting is.

now, you've raised the excitement level up one notch.
