A couple of inspirational clips I wish I had made

Animation is the imagination laid bare for all to see, our own personal constructed realities shared with others, story telling in it's purest form, or just a bunch of funny shit drawn for people to laugh their arses off to. It's all good.

A couple of inspirational clips I wish I had made

Posted by TheBoogley - January 19th, 2010

Hey there, you lowdown duded-up egg sucking guttertrash. How's it going?

Another week and I still haven't completed the second Sketchy Friends clip, but I have started to compile a bunch of my walk sequences into a something I will submit to the portal, so soon there will be two new things. Both just might be ready this time next week but don't hold your breath. It always takes longer than I expect to clean things up and get them ready to show. I'm back at work now too so that may or may not throw a spanner in the works...

So, since I don't have anything of my own to show you I thought I'd show you a couple of clips that I wish I'd made. These are both very near the style and mood I've been going for in my work.

Return as an animal by Bruno Dicolla

Dance of the neon knight by Paul Rayment

.
/* */
The Sandwich Twins made by Tim Ruffle using Flipnote Studio on the DSI

Now as always here's a new walk sequence, getting the swinging arms to delay and sync up right took ages. The whole loop took about 6 hours in total... six hours I'll never get back... unless I... no... that'd never work.

Whew, great animations, the both of those guys. Also, lol, your walking cycle is amazing. I wish I could animate as good as that. Christ, you need to make a tutorial or something!

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 07:38:49

I've got a walk cycle tutorial up on vimeo; http://www.vimeo.com/6840899

ryuzakinawa 2010-01-19 07:42:39

Wow I LOVE the second vid. The character animations really do remind me of your animation style in a way.
Can't wait to see sketchy friends!

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 07:42:39

Yeah! I really love that Neon Knight, it's so deceptively simple.

roadburn19 2010-01-19 07:57:32

well ...dont worry boogley even though if you never made those clips you posted dosent mean u can think of something better. he he he long arm bird walking
:3

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 07:57:32

I like that encouragement, it's almost like something Gandhi would say :)

10JD 2010-01-19 08:41:49

ah! Let me know when you do finish Sketchy Friends :) Im looking forward to it :D

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 08:41:49

me too, I was planning on making that as a quick thing to sharpen my eye for a bigger project then it got out of control and two months past... I need to get this monkey off my back {:0

Hulalaoo 2010-01-19 10:12:11

"Dance of the neon knight by Paul Rayment" PURE GENIOUS

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 10:12:11

yeah, I thought you'd probably go for it mate :D

Catoblefaux 2010-01-19 10:17:06

WHEN WILL YOU UNLEARN?

Animal one was alright. Seemed like it was a couple of After Effects filters (I could be wrong tho :/ ). The Neon knight one was really cool, I liked the color and smoothness. The whole animation was well done. The last one was hilarious lol i love how the simplest things can be soo (we should spell it like this, similar to how we spell "to" and "too") entertaining. I remember seeing someone make a thread a few days ago asking if anyone had used picochat on the DS to make an animation, maybe i'll link him here.

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 12:01:28

yeah, I'm pretty sure that Tim Ruffle works at Aardman. They were commissioned to make a bunch of animations for the release of Flipnote Studio to show it's potential. I'm not positive about that but I have a Sherlock Holmes style hunch.

I-smel 2010-01-19 12:03:19

sir, we have differing tastes in animation

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 12:03:19

how can that possibly be

Calicard 2010-01-19 12:34:07

Oh man! Snazzy walk cycle there!

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 12:34:07

thanks, I liked the flying saucer walk in your reel, and the sketched out jump into the water and picking up the bush

TURDO 2010-01-19 13:33:43

Neon Knight was incredible and the Sandwich twins was funny :)

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 13:33:43

correct and correct, that gives you a score of infinity! :D

fede1920 2010-01-19 14:16:45

heheh very nice :)

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 14:16:45

A lot of people don't have much food on their table,
but they've got a lot of forks and knives
and they've gotta cut sumthin'

knobbywood 2010-01-19 14:24:46

do you animate straight forward or are you layering the limbs and such? It looks like stright FBF on one layer.

anywho, can't wait to see the eye candy you come up with for us.

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 14:24:46

it's all on one layer, keyframing and inbetweening, I have a plan for how each bodypart will move but I find it easier to do it all together so that I get the relationship right between them all when they move. I find when I draw them all on different layers that when I watch it move at the end the relationships are wrong and the whole thing looks unnatural

YouriX 2010-01-19 18:44:02

Aaw Dude you have no idea how much of a big fan i am of your work! I started to do flash and i love doing animation in FBF. tweens is okay for shorcuts but if you want to make something epic. FBF is your best friend!

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 18:44:02

thanks mate, I know you from happy step

FrozenFire 2010-01-19 19:17:24

Neon Knight was pretty epic.

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 19:17:24

epic is definitely the word for it, I put it up there with Jason & the Argonauts

OdHero 2010-01-19 20:58:42

Is the animal one rotoscoped? Either way still very impressive.

TheBoogley 2010-01-19 20:58:42

I'm pretty sure it is but the stitched fluro line style really gets me!

carlos198 2010-01-19 21:41:52
