big j: it's no secret anymore! hahahahaha oh man
lyxek: thanks man. i get the comparison to ren and stimpy a lot (thanks! great compliment in my eyes). i think ren and stimpy is one of the only shows out to carry the torch of solid, golden age cartoon styles. i like ren and stimpy, but i like tex avery and looney tunes adn stuff even more! hopefully someday people will tell me my stuff looks like looney tunes!
anyway, think you guys can keep quiet about something? i wanna share a little animation preview and share a bit about my animation process.
underneith you will see really rough drawings in a low opacity. that's my animatic. i rough out my WHOLE film super rough. i do a soundtrack and then cut up all the scenes into their own .fla's for rough animation.
i dropped my animatic in, put a box of high opacity white over it, and i've been starting to animate. this is my rough animation where i go in and just try to get the basic motions down. i don't try ot get details or anything else. i'll do that when i tie down the key drawings and get ready to clean stuff up.
