Just posted a very short animation done with GIMP open source. For once it has some audio. Just thought I'd let the open source group know.
0:24
Just trying to keep up my chops, so I threw this together. For once I did add some sound effects which make all the difference.
Created with GIMP (with animation package)
Sorry it's been so long. I moved (from Temecula CA to Portland OR) Been looking for yet another good open source alternative to "Flipbook" and I found "Pencil". Not too awfull, but horribly limited. I'd like to see somone who knows code/programmin...
Sweet! Great artwork and very good animation! Just throw a metal track behind it and you're good to go. Nice job!
Enchanting! I love the almost rotoscope look of the character's movements (Where they used to use real filmed people to model from- What am I sayin' "used to?').
Visually inspired. I'm envious. As a budding animator, with a pretty weak computer system, I just keep asking, "How'd they do that...and that....and THAT?(The music ain't too bad neither!) I hope I do something at least this cool someday. Animatio...
That was truly lovely. I don't often call anything lovely. Sort of....maybe Edward Gorey if he worked in pastels.

- Funny thing about the bios. I know you said you work alone but I'd like to know if you consider collaborations. Are you still sketching?

- You can do that with the same tool because when you render with blender you can choose images format too and when you do that it export all the frames as images, the format can be tga, jpg, png, etc.
They do that because if you render a too heavy 3D animation and the crashes in the middle you don't loose all the work, you have the frames rendered at that point in images. So, if you import a video with the sequence editor and render it especifing an image format you will have all the frames.

- Blender has a tool called "Video sequence editor", you can grab a batch of images, put them in a timeline and then render them to a video file. Here there is some information:

- What's your favorite animation (tv show, short, feature film)?
- The Venture Brothers, Invader Zim, Powerpuff Girls, DeathNote (I just love cartoons!)
- What or who influenced you to started animating?
- A lifetime of wasted hours watching mind-rotting cartoons (Plus I have always wondered why it took SO MANY people to make a cartoon- 200? 300? (not counting the Asians who do most of the work usually) I'm setting out to see what one determined person can pull off, and how inexpensively it can be done, and not totally SUCK!)
- Do you work in the industry or create animation as a hobby?
- A hobby I suppose, but I consider it training for a career. (I also hope to become a cartoon myself someday, and on that day, I will ask "Erin Esurance" to marry me!
- Tell us a bit about the software and hardware used in your creative work.
- GIMP (with "GAP" package), Audacity (for audio), Windows Movie Maker (to tie it all together), Genius Mousepad ($50), An old DELL 4300 w/Petium 4 and 512MB ram (So essentially, NUTHIN') Oh, and a Pan/Zoom/effects program I purchased from Pixalan for about $30. (I just tried the demo version of FLIPBOOK, and I have to say, I loved how it looked and felt...but so expensive!! I'll stick with my open source for now.
- Where has your work been showcased on television, internet, film festivals, mobile etc?
- Just Youtube, and my blog. (I really just started less than a year ago, and aside from some initial experiments, I have only made two short cartoons.
- Any projects we can look forward to seeing from you in the near future?
- I am working on my second actual story-type cartoon called "Castle Whackula" (Everything else so far has been just practice/studies/tests etc.) So far, it is about 8 1/2 minutes long, and I have literally been making it up as I go along. No script. No storyboard. I just animated a nuclear explosion, and kept going, and going (you can see a small piece of it titled, "The post-apocalyptic odd couple" which amounts to the opening scene of "Castle Whackula"
- Can you recommend an animation film or animation book that every animator should see/read?
- Right now I would say we should all go out and see "Coraline" (I'll drive!)
