Reviews for "Dumbbell"

O_O

Holy crap.

When the cartoon looped I done near crapped my pants.

Brilliant animation.
How on earth did you get it to loop AND turn upside down?

TmsT responds:

I bundled the finished animation with the "guy" into one object separate from the background, so that after he slid up/down the treetrunk, I just started another copy of that object from frame 1, rotated 180. (Not reflected.) Then it was just a simple matter of inbetweening the guy tumbling from the treetrunk to laying unconscious in the roots. Making entire sequences of animation into objects that you can manipulate as a whole is the greatest animation shortcut of modern times, IMHO! ^___^

And of course all of that plus the background was gathered into yet another object, which was my "master object", that I just tweened around to simulate camera movement throughout the whole thing - including the big rotate at the end. I could never have done that on my previous crusty old computer (RIP, 2000-2004). :D

amazing!

wow, really good computer frame by frame animation as well as good use of tween. Havent seen a clever idea like that in a long time.

keep it up guys!

Curiousity killed the cat...

And this was a good example. Fine animation, loved the cartoony expression on the guy. Another masterpiece. You guys have the midas touch.

Fantastical.

Really very impressive. I look forward to other work.

sweet stuff
