Lyson's Life- Ep.03

Author Comments

Hey! This is episode 3 of Lyson's Life. It's called "Sell Phoney's". We see how far behind on technology poor ol' Lyson is; and it just doesn't work when he tries to catch up.


Sorry to any animators that cringe at the sight of this. Any tips would be awesome.

Hi, How Are You

Daniel Johnston shirt! You're the best.
Thanks for your latest effort.

I like it

I really like this series. :)

If you're using Flash, just skim through a tutorial about tweening. It's easy, looks good, and will probably save you some work too. You don't need Photoshop, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. If you really want to improve the look of your drawings, there are many free or very cheap programs that can help you... but really, it all comes down to artistic ability.. there are no magic programs

That being said, I think the basic drawings you have here are just fine for what you're doing.. but the animation is frankly quite an eyesore :p There are mountains of Flash tutorials out there.. many right here on NG.. so there's no excuse not to learn some simple tricks to spruce up your work. They can really make a world of difference :)

Anyways, keep making 'em and I'll keep watching 'em!

Since you asked for advice....

I gave you a 1 instead of blamming this, since obviously you spent quite a bit of time on it, and it's not jut a picture with some music playing in the background ;)
My best advice is just to stop using MSPaint (or built in tools in whatever flash creator you're using) and start using Photoshop to build your basic sprites. Photoshop has the tools you need to create better looking models that have things such as shading and smoothed lines.
Other than that...work on the sound a bit, but graphics are probably more important ;)

LysonsLies responds:

Thanks for your time. I agree with everything you said but I really don't expect any changes for me as far as animation goes. I'd like to but I just don't have that much ambition to create great animations, it's more so to just have some funny scripts or whatever.

Thanks for the comments though.

Do Not Watch

Honestly this movie was a complete waste of my time. The animation is poor and the story is boring!

boring

Speed it up a bit and shorten the pauses between lines
Have the models be a little less stiff too
