    • I don't know how I can tone down animation quality without going the Flash puppet route. If I want to start releasing episodes of this series on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, I NEED to be animating it quicker, but I tried designing a puppet today and it made me sick to my stomach. What do I do? I don't want my animation to start looking like Family Guy or something, but I also don't want to take a year to release the next episode. This one was significantly longer than future episodes will be, but it'll still take a damn long time to animate.

      !animators I guess.

        Trial number two, post-cleanup. http://rainbowdash.net/url/765656

        Trial number two, slightly different shot. Pre-cleanup. 35 layers in all. http://rainbowdash.net/url/765655

        • @scoot !animators In conclusion: The technique isn't perfect. Shape tweens tend to mess up. A lot. But it can be refined. And even in its super flawed state (I don't even know how it would work with more complex shots), it saves a BUNCH of time, even if you need to clean it up a bit like I did.

            The only thing here that was done frame by frame were eyeballs. Everything else was tweened, then converted to twos and cleaned up. And it was all done so much faster than normal. http://rainbowdash.net/url/765653

            • @scoot and all the other !animators YOU. LOOK. THIS. NOW.

              MY COMPUTER ANIMATED THIS.

              This is, by no means, perfect. In fact, some parts, such as the nose, look really crappy without cleanup. But this technique (56 layers, each with one small piece of the lineart as an object, formed into two keyframes with a shape tween in each layer) will save me SO MUCH TIME. Drawing these two keyframes, shape tweening it, and cleaning up where Flash failed is so much faster than traditional animation. I will continue to experiment with this and report my findings. I could even convert these to twos, and make it look even better! http://rainbowdash.net/url/765650

              • Once again: The guy I've been helping animate Everybody Hates Pinkie Pie, Brainstorm, is in need of a background artist. If one of you artist-y types is willing and able to help out, it would be greatly appreciated. The backgrounds are fairly simple but it would really help a lot. More info here: http://rainbowdash.net/url/764202

              • Everybody Hates Pinkie Pie is in need of a background artist. It's almost finished, and I'm sure Brainstorm really would appreciate the help. http://rainbowdash.net/url/764185

                If you think you can help us out with these (rather simple) backgrounds, that would be pretty swell.

                • @scoot !animators This might interest you. Harry Partridge animated this whole thing was animated with nothing but shape tweens. And it actually looks really good. Check it out. http://rainbowdash.net/url/763810

                • Tweaked this and added an arm movement at the end of the shot. Personally I think that first movement looks much better now that I've added a couple of frames before and after the smear. !animation http://rainbowdash.net/url/762145

                      • IT'S HERE!!!! After a year and a half of work, two bans, depression, bad grades, and a dole load of other bad things, the hardest thing I've ever had to work on is finally out! Enjoy it in HD! Boy, I sure am glad to have that burden off my plate. Onward to bigger and better things!

                        Watch it here!

                      • I love animation and all, and I love being good at it, but I could never do anything like Happy Harry. Not because I don't think with enough practice I could be good enough, because I genuinely do feel I COULD if I had more years under my belt, but because that man doleing redraws the entire frame every time a character so much as blinks. That's way too tedious for me, I'm sorry.
