[skilled v²]

ok i got the video but the problem was that after her mom said take your elbows off the table the video froz and all you could here was the audio, maby its just me, it started to look good but i didnt finish the video.....:shrug:

but what i saw was very nice, great animating :thumbsup:

BAAHHH:cry: I hate this new divx codec. This keeps happening to me. it works fine on my machine but never on anyone else's.

K can someone try this link and let me knoe if this one works.

HERE (http://www.philshoebottom.co.uk/Art/smalldivx.avi)

I've updated the link at the top too.

Cheers:thumbsup:

[gom3z]

It's still freezing mate :(
The working part is excellent ... can't wait to see the rest

[Revilo]

link works vid don't :(

[Egyt]

shoey afaik it is all beacause of what program you use for playback, the new divx codec is optimized to work with DivXPlayer.
I aswell have suffered from this problem @ highres divx in windows mediaplayer but usually works out great in divx player.

I'll watch your avi soon, d/l.

sry man didnt work, im gonna go update my divx if i need to but i think its updated but it didnt work

[Berserker]

The video works for me. looks pretty good, i really like the kitchen atmosphere. i think you need some holds, the girl seems to be squirming around a bit too much...

I've had problems with divx too....I guess theres a big difference between 5.02 and 5.03....and it seems to not be backwards compatible.

:surprised

[Egyt]

Hey, for me that vid worked excellent! great work (in win mediaplayer).

[Pinionist]

Hey guyz, a I really recommend a xvid codec, similar do divx, but much better, it's easy to get better image quality. Screenshot of this little girl looks pretty nice, I like colours and composition...I hope I will see video soon (download in progress...) :airguitar

:applause: Great, I loved it. That girls too cute. Animation is cool too. Well, her voice somehow destroyed it a little, it sounds weird. Also that sample of childrens laughter and scream is strange. Try to find a little girl to give your creation a better voice. Maybe some relative.
But modelling and lighting is really perfect.

[shoey]

Shall i make a QT.mov of it? whats the best compression to keep the size down? soz for the cock-ups guys.

[Kamul]

:beer: Cheers man
I watched ur WIP thread about that and I thing it's great:bounce:

[Pinionist]

Well Done Short Film, Really!

I always like these kind of questions children keep doing :)
Animation is pretty good, could be better, but it's good enough. I agree that audio side could be better. The whole thing is kinda weird, because of samples..Try find other ones.
But man...we are CGI artists here, and all I can say: :thumbsup: Good Work!

Ooo i was at teesside a year ago

shithole aint it

downlaoding ur ani as we speak

[stephen2002]

works great for me, no problems. Make sure you have the latest version of DivX installed, it is a known issue.

I like this animation a lot. The laugh seems fine to me, however the scream could use a lot of work. Also there should be more of a bang when she and the chair hit the floor.

The voice could also use some work. Other than that, really nice!

[FloydBishop]

Very nice. It reminded me of puppet animation. The kind of stop motion thing you would see in an animation festival.

I really like the use of the refrigerator magnets for the end credits.

Well done!!:thumbsup:

[shoey]

Thanks everyone for all your comments. I agree that the sound still needs a lot of work but it was the best i couls do at the time. As for the problems with the file i've made another for anyone who had a problem.

The original file is DivX5.0.3, 5.5mb, and is HERE (http://www.philshoebottom.co.uk/Art/smalldivx.avi)

The second file is an Xvid mpeg 4, 7.4mb, and is HERE (http://www.philshoebottom.co.uk/Art/smallmpeg.avi)

I hope you can all get to see it now, if not let me know and i'll put DivX 5.0 back on.

Cheers Guys:thumbsup:

[o-phile]

hehe, that was funny :)

and IT WORKED FOR ME! lol it didn't freeze or n e thing

[Lunatique]

Lovely piece. Maybe more exaggerated facial expressions. I watch my niece all the time, and she's about 6, and man, her face is so animated!

[show]

Hey thanks to whoever put me on the frontpage, it an Honor:thumbsup:

Thanks alot for all the comments guys glad you liked it:thumbsup:

bramley1: It is indeed. What course were you on?

Floyd: Thanks man, thought it would be more interesting than just plain text.

The WIP is HERE (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31339) if anyone is interested.

Thanks again:thumbsup:

[lildragon]

You're most welcome :) And I really liked this animation, my fiancee deals with kids all day long and its always refreshing to see kids in animations :) The only things I think you need to focus on more next time is the lip sync and the body lanugage when people speak, especially lil tykes like this one :D It's too linear you have to soften up the curves more. Also that voice is way to mature :p . Great job nonetheless tho. :thumbsup:

Nice tight little piece..hope you get chance to do a 'fixed' version. :)

[alexyork]

I just got a chance to check this anim out...

I have to say i get exactly what you were going for.. VERY well done. I love her little giggle when she falls over! I think the samples fit just fine... Once, again man, great work.

Btw - i go to Teesside now ;] 2nd year now.

Oh, and congrats for the choice award!
