Tablet vs Pencil

Author Comments

This is an experiment for my tesis in Multimedia Production.

In this video there's a scene made with a tablet in flash, and the scene at the right was made with pen and paper.

This is in order to test our response to tradicional drawings. I believe that tradicional animation is too expensive, but it has "magic" in it. I can 't take my eyes off the pen drawings...

So, please tell me wich one do you like more and why. And if you're an animator, I'll appreciate if you tell me if you prefer to animate with a tablet or with pencil and paper, and why.

Thanks for helping me with my project!

Sweet

I'd go with tablet, but I havent got one, all I use is a mouse.

martiescageda responds:

Well, I used a mouse for like 3 or 4 years before I got my tablet... You still can do pretty awesome things like that. But seriously, get a tablet. It doesn't need to be a wacom...

Both

They work good together but if i shall choose i pick taplet.

lol that was cute :D

anyway, i liked them both the same, so it really depends on you. if you can draw better and more accurately with regular pen and paper, then go for it.

personally, for the stick figures, i liked the pen and paper since it had more of a 'feel' to it, but i think for larger, more complex things, the tablet would be cleaner.

martiescageda responds:

Thanks for your review :)

I kinda have the same opinion, this experiment is turning nice...

pretty cool

I would vote higher, but its kind of short, and not much going. But I really like the idea of doing the same thing in tablet and then in pen. I like the pen version better, it has "style" and the tablet version look too generic.

martiescageda responds:

I think that too about the pen animation. And don't worry, my next toons will be longer...

Cute

This was a cute little flash here i like the "2" Differant versions, its a start in the right direction, i think you should make more like this with the differant "CAMERA" styles but maybe in your next one you might want to introduce a color version vs a Black and white one, maybe this will give you a few ideas.

Well as i said a color version would be nice, but not just that make these flashes much longer and have the sticks doing much more in there perspective areas.

~X~

martiescageda responds:

Your suggestion is really constructive and you have good ideas, but I guess I'll stop making these stick animations for a while dedicate myself to real cartoons. It's kinda hard working with perspective on stick figures to... Anyway, thanks for the review.
