Description Ok, this may come as a surprise, but I have something different for you now...

This is NOT the actual deviation, you need to download the file below!

It's a short (a mere 30 secs.) 2D animation sequence which I created back in 2005. The file is only 7 MB, so please check it out!

I combined hand drawing with Photoshop coloring and composed in After FX 6.5

Animation is tedious, but the results are rewarding. There is a shot that includes rotoscoping...yeah, that's lame. -.-

I plan to do another bigger animation with a Sci-Fi thematic, I already have some cool scenes in mind that I want to create. It's gonna take some time, but it's really something I want to do eventually! So keep an eye out!

Ah yes, the music is taken from "Versus" (jap. movie), I just had to include it!
The scene actually had its original score, but it didn't fit so well so I exchanged it...

I uploaded the file to Deviantart. Plus, here is a link to my own webspace:

Some of the movement in this looks really swift and natural! I love how the animation just flows from the movements to the camera moves. You did a really great job on this!

And yes, I agree animation has its head-exploding moments, but every single frame is worth the headache XD. Looking forward to your future animation !

yeah, right! It's always a pleasure to finally see the animation laid out before you with all the movement!

hey the sound effects are really cool! how'd you make them? can u do that in the after fx program?

nice i like it! go hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi In reply to kamizuki [2007-08-24 10:15:12 +0000 UTC]

Some of them are from sound libraries, they are not recorded by myself. After FX is a compositing tool, not for audio creation...
Thanks!

Very cool. Don't be ashamed of the rotoscoping, it adds a unique feel to animation that you don't often see anymore with all this japanese anime taking over with exaggerated movement and constant looping.

Hideyoshi In reply to ChristmasSocks [2007-08-24 10:13:30 +0000 UTC]

haha, right! That is, if you're talking about the sloppy 8 frame animation. The most decent animation still comes from Japan! But they actually DO use rotoscoping quite a bit as well I think. I wanna get around this and do pure hand animation, but it's a sooo hard. o_O

the best part for me when the guy was running b4 he jumps, the movement's very realistic.

i am gonna keep eye on that new one you're planning, will it involve robots destroying cities? :'D

Hideyoshi In reply to tatekane [2007-08-24 10:17:07 +0000 UTC]

haha, that was the take that included rotoscoping. That means, it was traced from life-footage.
No, no robots action, but something else!

Your animation seems a little choppy, on my screen. Very well done, however. Who am I to criticize anyway? I don't even have any animation software.

teh drama! erinnert mich ei bischen an young masters - der hauptheld sieht dir sogar a bisserl Γ€hnlich.

hn, ich weiß, das ding ist alt ... aber ich habe die letzten paar minuten wild herumgefuchtelt und bin immernoch beeindruckt von der schlagkraft dieses hut-typen - mit einer nach vorn stoßenden rückhand kânnte ich maximal parieren, aber bestimmt nicht angreifen (so rein anatomisch bedingt). nicht, dass ich von schwertkampf eine ahnung hÀtte ...

hehe, danke! Dieser RΓΌckhandschlag mit umgekehrter Schwerthaltung ist eigentlich ein ganz gΓ€ngiger Schlag.
Obwohl man damit wirklich nicht allzu krΓ€ftig angreifen kann. Aber der ist stylish!

ganz unter uns: das war ja auch nen Animations-intro zu einem unserer Filme... -.-

the shadow in the shot where he runs towards the "camera" looks really solid - the shadow adds alot to it.

you don't necessarily need expensive software. There are some decent animation tools for free out there! Just google for them!
Check out "Plastic Animation Paper" for example!
