picturebook trailer about Frida Kahlo

Post by cynthia »

Hi,

Here's my latest animated trailer for a new picturebook about artist Frida Kahlo. I cut up John Parra's illustration files and animated the 6 scenes in Moho 12. The scenes were compiled in Premiere Pro. Many thanks to Synthsin and Greenlaw for technical advice. And ShoNuff93's handwriting tutorial was again invaluable for the painting and drawing animations https://youtu.be/Tez_UnC8rzk?list=PL-VD ... vZ5eQ1Wdvi. Such a great tutorial! Also very grateful for guidance from Victor Paredes' webinar on animating quadrapeds https://youtu.be/yFfNQ2SS4a4?list=PL-VD ... vZ5eQ1Wdvi I still find that very challenging but I was super happy with the turkey's walk in scene 3.

Thanks very much Jahnocli! And thanks too for putting the video in this thread. I'm totally perplexed. I click on the vimeo button and paste in the video ID as you can see in my original post -- but no video! sheesh!

Here's what I did. In the "POST A REPLY" box I pasted in the Vimeo ID of your animation:
228261869
Then I highlighted it
228261869 (Imagine this with a blue background!)
Then I clicked on the "vimeo" button above.
Voila!

thanks very much for the supportive feedback, everyone! And thanks for noticing the editing, Little Yamori - I spent a lot of time on it. I would happily make picturebook trailers full-time if I could get the commissions. It's really nice working with other people's art after years of being an illustrator.
