Happy Birthday Drew

[MEDIA=youtube]p6nT713QWLE[/MEDIA]

This is actually an animation I made about a week ago. I tried out rigs that aren't just heads but Drew's oc already had arms separate from the body. I haven't actually made any yet. Enjoy. And I know I screwed up with the back hair. XD.

“Thanks for Watching”

@BulbaWhat98 Hey, this is awesome, man!
Ever since I've seen you start out, it's perfectly clear to me that you've been improving upon yourself, and are gradually grasping how animation works. Already I can see you're cleaning up your lipsyncing rather nicely, and are working your way through the rigging basics. Keep going man, I can see a substantial amount of potential in you~
Thanks again for this, dude, I'm digging how it came out, and it means a lot

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) and thanks.

Thanks. In the original audio, the characters didn't move that much Drew and I in this didn't move that much. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking with the back hair movement. XD.

Ay. idk. this is an adorable anim for drew's birthday ehehe

Your stage size & Vcam have to be :
856 x 480
640 x 360 (Recommended)
1280 x 720

Vcam is basically a camera for flash and if you don't have one, you can always ask for it in MapleMation discord server or google it.
And also, the lipsync kinda reminds me of my sony vegas times... you should try out some classic tweens to make it smoother instead of just adding the mouth sprite in there.

your back hair movement is kinda dry . Try easing 100 for rigs!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I actually do use 640 x 360 for the v cam and I just resize it by holding shift. Maybe something went wrong in the project. Idk. I never thought of using classic tweens for the mouths. Yeah, the hair movement is pretty bad. What was I thinking?

Do the same thing as your stage too!

[MEDIA=youtube]vArIK2fHjOs[/MEDIA] This is short and simple! I'm sure you'll improve eventually if you keep animating.

A fun little short for an awesome person's bday. Nicely done (Y)

Watch your aspect ratio and layer rigging tho. That back hair on your character shouldn't be moving in unison with Drew's lol
Try to frame the shots closer and more effectively with stuff like the rule of thirds and slight decentering. You'll be surprised at how much more intimate and personal the dialogue becomes after doing so.

I actually didn't use 640 X 360. I forgot I didn't. Whoops. Though I am using those sizes from now on. With both the v cam and the stage.

Huh. I never knew you had to use a chin. Thanks Blez. And CC, I'm making an animation that'll have shots that are closer to the characters.
