Yeah, guess showing something for a preview would be a good idea. I've got more than this picture so far, I kind of started working on the second half before working on the first, but here's a shot of that futuristic Hind that I was talking about before.

I'm thinking having a few fighter jets flying alongside it might be good idea, but so far, everything looks good and is going smoothly. Once this gets going, it should be pretty smooth. Just seems like getting started is the real bitch when it comes to making these things.

Very Nice I like it. Can't wait to see it finished ;)

That still image looks kick-ass!!! I love the color scheme on it. I think fighter jets would look sweet flying next to it, but I would add those later when you're going through and adding the finishing touches. I can't wait to see a moving preview of it. Good luck with the rest of it.

Lookin good razorhawk! That scene looks so sweet!

Hey, thanks guys. I already have the jets drawn out and they look pretty good. Currently drawing the gunner himself, and that's going pretty smoothly as well.

To sum up the four and a half seconds, the first part is a small combat scene showing the air forces already in heated combat. The camera then zooms in on the gunner of the HIND, switches to his point of view as he locks onto an enemy vehicle using a computerized targeting console, and the last second shows the guns blasting.

Definitely, this part will be more intense than the other two.

That's looking bloody excellent. Keep it up!

Great work RazorHawk, it looks excellent!
Oh, and sorry everybody for my lack of activity; I took your word Shortmonkey, and yours too Dirtshake and redid much of the original body and animation.

Razorhawk! excellent work man! I definitely agree that starting that first second can be alittle difficult to start when your still trying to figure out what to do. The quality from the screenshot looks great! looks like your going all out on this last part of yours and it shows! keep it up

Not at the moment, I'm still learning with this new program. Oh I forgot to tell you, I finally got my hands on Flash 8. It has Filters! :D

Be careful with filters SupraAddict. They could lag a flash animation tremendously.

No worries, I haven't applied any to my flash part yet.
Thank you YoinK for the heads up though.

Yeah totally agree with yoink. Filters are OK, just use them sparingly

I also agree with this point. I only use them for slight blurs or "color tweening."

Rule of Thumb: Use them to jazz up a submission, not "make" the submission, if that makes any sense.

Part 25 Preview

Not as intense as I was originally intending. but I need to leave enough time for the next few parts. 4.5 seconds flies by pretty quickly. Still working on it though, anything about this could change.

Could I make a suggestion? have one of the jets in the back get hit and explode. I know it sounds cliche, but explosions make everything more intense. Great work on it so far though, I'm digging the effects.

Also, bad news about my part-I want to redo a lot of it, including the body, movements, and background, but I'm not sure which to do first...
I often find myself exiting out of my program after I remove or change some frames.

Well, I could try. I'm ok at animating. Tell me what you think when Im done!

Wait, nevermind. I'm terrible at animating.

Not bad not bad at all. A few little tweeks to touch it up but you doing very bloody well ;)

Great work. I agree with Supra that you should add an explosion though.

That can and will be done. I agree, that would give it a bit more intensity.

The initial shot looks fantastic! The color choice really gives it an intense mood. In comparison, your human artwork could use some work. Once the camera zooms in on the cockpit the intensity (and any potential intensity of the scene) is lost. However I truly believe it is simply a polishing issue and once you do that everything will be as sweet as you're promising us in that initial shot. So basically...who's worried????

Good luck with the rest of it.

While RazorHawk, ColdReaver, ShortMonkey, and SupraAddict are working hard on their parts... anyone know if Master-Samus is making progress with his? I wonder if Master-Samus knows that we're nearly there.... cuz I'd like to see this awesome collab of ours in the portal before I level up to level 53. :D

I think SM still needs my comment for the collab. Who else needs to send comments?

On a side note.. i'm working on two flash animations of my own. Both are nearly complete.

Yeah, that will be fixed, I haven't gotten to that detail yet. What I have up there is pretty much a draft, and yeah, there's stuff that still needs to be worked out and cleaned up.

Thanks though, its coming along.

I really wish I could produce flash as fast as you could....*pout*

Maybe in the next update ShortMonkey could post what parts he still needs, what comments he still needs, and basically everything still needed. Hopefully everyone could get caught up after that.

yea well I wish I could be faster... it's definitely tough to do.
Anyway.. this animation I made is done.

I'll get on to that in a few days. I'm very busy at the moment.

I have PM'd Master-Samus and he's not getting back to me so if a week passes with no sign of Master-Samus, I'll take his name of the unfinished parts on the list.

Looking forward to it.

As for my part, the exploding fighter came out pretty good, but I've had to change a lot of my plans. There's just not enough time to show everything I wanted to animate, but I'll still try to cover as much as I can.
