Carlos Ramos on The Beatles Rock Band trailer
October 6th, 2009 admin
Carlos Ramos, the creator of Nickelodeon’s The X’s , ponders on his blog, Why can’t we have more hand-drawn animated features like Pete Candeland’s trailer for the videogame The Beatles Rock Band : It’s such simple animation but with so many great tricks your eye can’t see the strings. Things like blurred focus, CG instruments and props, fast camera moves, quick cutting and gorgeous held drawings make this some of the best …

Avant Window Navigator (AVN) - MacO...This is a comprehensive tutorial/how to video on downloading, installing and configuring AWN using repositories. AWN is a dock/app launcher/taskbar application that is inspired by MacOS X-es dock, or whatever that thing on the bottom of the screen's called. The application's not only nice on the eyes it's also quite useful as you will soon realise after watching this video. If by any chance you do not have AWN in your repositories then add this one to your repos list: deb repoubuntusoftware.info karmic all#Ultimate Edition Repository However if you're running a Linux different to Ubuntu 9.10 (or Ubuntu 9.10 based distros, as my Mint in this video) than change the word "karmic' in this line to the approperiate name according to Ubuntu's distributions naming convention. The repo above does not belong to me, it is a part of Ultamatix which can be found at this address - http AWN's current website's address - wiki.awn-project.org If you liked this video or found it helpful then please subscribe!

Bone...EDIT 5/11/10- This video is featured on Cartoon Brew! www.cartoonbrew.com The finished version of the previous video: www.youtube.com ! I may add shading to the characters to make them more believable when I have the time, but for now, it can be posted. And BOY did this take long! I did this without any tweening anyway- yes, the animation is produced in Flash. BGs are painted in Photoshop. As you may have heard, Warner Bros. has hired AnimalLogic to animate his story BONE in CG- this video shows my take on how it would look if it were going to be produced in 2D. Sound is taken from the soundtrack of TellTale Games' video game of the series. Reflecting on this, even though the movie will be in CG, I REALLY think they should have a little 2D in it! Like, maybe in the opening and/or closing credits... or maybe in a short sequence in the body of the film!! It worked marvelously for Kung Fu Panda, and Cloudy... and I see a growing emergence of traditionally-animated credit sequences nowadays!!! Someone should suggest this to him! Here's to you, Jeff. BONE was the first graphic novel I ever read, and the first I religiously followed. I hope the movie is the best it can be! BONE (C) Jeff Smith Sound (C) TellTale Games

Regardless of what kind of animation you are planning, the first thing you must do is create the objects you plan to use in your animation. In keeping with the live action metaphor, objects can be thought of anything that is in front of the camera, this includes actors, props, and scenery.

Gorgeous trailer for the computer game Machinarium . I love how it feels like you’re playing in the world of an indie animated short and not a videogame.

Old master drawings are a challenge for conservators. Fragile and damaged over time simply by exposure to light, drawings cannot be placed on permanent display, or even frequent display. Every period of exposure to light must be considered, in effect, a time subtracted from the life of the drawing. Also, drawings, even those by great masters,...
Entertaining, challenging and thought upsetting, Howl’s Moving Castle is probably not the very best movie ever launched, but it’s easily among the best of the year. The movie opens with the eponymous citadel of the title parting the mists of the Waste in a simple, yet breathtaking introduction. The castle doesn’t do anything in this...
