here is the clip. i erased the subtitles, and i'm now working with the sound (i'll change the boy's voice)
here is the story:

This was a kid whose hand grew

Each time someone talks about my hand, it grows.
And if they keep talking about it, it grows larger and larger.
Then I have to hide away so they stop talking about it until it finally goes back to its original size.
If I were on the news one day, my hand would be as big as the world, and then, the military would have to take over and forbid people to talk about my hand.
and the world would be saved.

i hope your comments. it's interesting to me know what you think, because you are the moho experts.
(when my mom or my friends say me Oh, that's nice!... mmm... it's ok, but they don't know about)

thanks.

Does Premiere let you add drop shadows? A black drop shadow on the yellow text will make it readable on most if not all backgrounds without overpowering the rest of the picture.

I like your animation and your story very much, thanks for sharing this!

thanks guys.
i like to animate stories which deserve all the work that this implies.
in fact, i think that here, in chile, we haven't good movies and short movies just because nobody take really care about the script.
i tried to make a really simple story, directed to children, but with some things i consider important.

have somebody any "technical" comment?

Any chance to sells your works in some chilen tv?

Post by **Víctor Paredes** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 12:34 am

no many chances.
here is more important your curriculum than your portfolio. so, as i didn't study design or animation, all i do is not much important.
but i'm studying journalism, so maybe by this way i could show my work on tv. and now i'm doing animation for any aid which appear. maybe sometime i win one, and then will see what happen.

meanwhile, i'll show my things here...
