Wow, lots of frame by frame in this one.
This is my entry for the Toronto Urban Film Festival, basically, the winners they choose play on big screens in the subways for a week, and you can win iPods and trips to Jamaica and stuff like that. So since I live in Toronto, I felt like making something. I chose the category "forgotten places, uncommon spaces" and hopefully I've lived up to the theme relatively well. As always, I'll respond to everyone's reviews.
As I said earlier, this animation is mostly frame by frame. it takes lots of time, especially at 30 frames per second, which this ran at. some tweening involved as well, mostly for the backgrounds, and I think the combination of both worked fairly nicely.
When I decided the the theme I'd be working on, this was the first idea that came to mind, a building being slowly brought back to the roots, infested by growth, hidden to the urbanities who overlook such detail. I like how it turned out. If you don't, or in-fact, if you do as well, review. I love hearing from people who look at things I do. Its nice to know people care.
Lastly, thanks to David Firth, doki, for the fantastic loop. It's incredibly fitting for this animation, and lovely and tranquil to just sit around and listen to. If you're reading this doki, you're a really talented artist, both musically and visually.
1824 frames, 30 per second, 60.8 seconds. And Im sure none of you really care. 33 symbols as well.
Enjoy the show.

MorrowDays responds:

thanks!

Soothing

That was awesome. Soothing music and a soothing animation. I liked that style and how it has that weird feel to it.
Also; completely off the topic, but...have you read Superior Saturday yet? Cause I need to know if it's out yet or when it's coming out! I've read up to Lady Friday though.

MorrowDays responds:

Why do so many people live in Melbourne australia?? Its weird, Ive seen the pages of like, five or six of you. thanks for the positive comments!

actually, my name, Morrowdays, is completely unrelated to those day books about like, well I dunno. stuff. I read the grim tuesday one, but I didnt actually read all of it because it got weird. seriously, they have like, a giant pit of 'nothing'! what?? its so weird. :)

I did some research for you and found out that this 'Superior Saturday' you speak of is coming out July 5th, 2008. for more info just search it in wikipedia. :)

have a nice day.

Interesting!

Never seen anything like it before! Definitely belongs in the experimental collection.

MorrowDays responds:

thanks pickleman! blatant advertising in my sig actually works! awesome! :)

thanks for the review.
MORO

wow, good as ever

You really play with the graphics - and as usual you do very well!
I still don't have any suggestions for you - but never mind, you don't need that...
thongsala (is back)

MorrowDays responds:

ha, thanks, good to have you back!

not bad

It has a very nice effect to it, calm and relaxing.
If it had a bit of color, it'd be great.

MorrowDays responds:

yes well, you would know about color. :)

I'll try to incorporate some more into future submissions, thanks for the suggestion!
