Hello, how are you? I just posted this weeks episode: The Sketch Boys in "El Spam Bandito". Windows Media http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?videos=321632&T=9007 Quicktime (24 megs) http://www.foreordained.org/mov/elspambandito.mov How I Did It. First I came up with a funny script based on one of my own experiences. Then I recorded all the voices into Sony Acid Pro 5. The I exported each characters line as an individual .WAV file and I wrote a corresponding .TXT file to go with it. I imported those files one by one into DAZ3d Mimic Pro 3 and created the files for Curious Labs' Poser 4 Pro Pack. I posed my characters and exported .AVI files and imported them into Adobe Premiere Pro. I assembled all the .AVI files and added some sound, I'd like to thank The Robert Spriggs Group for letting me use the song "Ejector Seat". I exported from Adobe Premiere Pro in various file formats. I also use Adobe After Effects for the beginning and ending screens and I used Adobe Photoshop to adjust some of the layers.

Too bad I am about to sleep and I can't wait for 24mb... however I'll make sure to take a look at it first thing tomorrow ^-^' <---signature---> Free your Maya Opaque3D http://www.digital-opaque.net

Sleep tite! AJ

Ok, I saw it. It's a very fun story and save for some strange poses on the dancing dude (the attachment) and some timing here and there the overall animation looks good. Nevertheless I think you could really use some facial animation on the upper face area (eyes and brows) because when your characters talk you can't really read expressions there. I see there are more eps??? I have to see them. <---signature---> Free your Maya Opaque3D http://www.digital-opaque.net

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my cartoon. I appreciate your comments, and will integrate them into the next episode. I got a little carried away with the dancing scene because I was using a new sketch render setting, I imported a .BVH motion file and I collaborated with a musician from Canada, The Robert Spriggs Group". They read one of my other posts and offered to let me use their music. The facial expressions could use a little tweaking here and there. This is only my third attempt at cartoonin so I am learning a lot from peoples comments and what they want to see. If you have a collaboration idea or know someone who does, let me know.

hello there. It took me a while to answer but I am back. I see you have been making some improvements on the overal quality of the pieces. For example first you only had faces and now you also have bodies, which is a good thing. Keep up the good work. And play more with the faces ;) happy holidays. <---signature---> Free your Maya Opaque3D http://www.digital-opaque.net

Thank you very much for the comments. I hope you had a pleasant holiday! I have done some work on the faces with this new cartoon I am making and I must say, the emotion to be had by a few simple tweaks is amazing! I am still WIP however I am trying to integrate everyone's comments I get. Episode 4 - "Alpha Romeo" should be posted later today. I will start a new thread about that one in this forum so maybe others can enjoy it and send me critiques. AJ
