Bah Bloody Humbug - A Toy/Paper Theatre Animation
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 1:23 pm
I have been toying on and off for a few years ( well more off...always other priorities) with this concept of animation.
Something that is both quick and easy and at the same time offering a convincing storytelling device.
I have tried to replicate Victorian Toy/Paper Theatre shows as animation.
I perform these live (Sherlock Holmes in the Cornish Horror and Robin Hood). The puppetry is very simple and yet very enagaging at the same time.
Previous tests, not posted online, have involved using Crazytalk for lip synced moving faces.
What do you think?
I struggled with Moho being very slow on my PC...taking 10 seconds for a keyframe to appear on the timeline was the norm, crashing when reordering layers etc but I ploughed on.
Krampus' animation is not the best...but I can live with it.
Any ideas on how to reduce the simmering effects that camera movement produces on some of the scenery, i.e. the proscenium at the start of the video?
Cheers
