Hi,

I’m french lead animator (on TV series) and I need some little explanations to be sure…

Can you explain me :

 _blocking

 _revision (do you mean retake on some parts of the animation ? )

Thanx

Tibo (pronounced teebo ;-)))

Hi Tibo ,

By blocking i mean going in and setting up your key poses in a stepped key fashion so we can easily tell whats going on.

revision is pretty much doing passes on the animation afterwards to refine based on the critiques you get and whatnot.

Reason I do this is mainly to encourage people posting their work at all stages and not just at the end when its done and we cant offer any critique to that.

hope you join.

I was wondering if it’s okay to animate before and after the audio clip time frame? - Just to give the animation some sort of bracket rather than the eye heading straight into the movement.

#32

sure you can add frames before and after.

#33

i know these probibaly sound like stupid questions but i have a few.

I want to participate in this, but i dont know how to upload videos to the web. places to host the videos. what compression to use all that.

is it better to do a right click save as, or a streaming vid or what would be best.

i suppose thats my biggest issue. i eventually want to make an online portfolio of animation stuff, but i gotta know how to put the stuff on the internet.

thanks guys

Thanx Ali for the lightning on rules. That’s what I’ve understand but Iwanted to be sure !

For the way to download video, I’m interrested too to know how to proceed.
Me too “Back to the futur” is one of my favorite film and Doc E. Brown was my better physician teacher when I was teenager.

I’ll try to do something (it’s my first challenge), but I actually work on the last episodes of a TV serie and time is… money, so I hope having enough… time to animate on this sound and having all critize !

I’m in a hurry to see other works !

Let’s start…

#35

Can i rip my own sound clip from a DVD source and add/edit the part before/after the clip used?(there would be no editing for the part required in the session)

#36

I am not sure what you mean. you want to use the dalogue before\after the soundclip?

#37

I am in for this challenges.

but one question…what’s “Lorean”?? I couldn’t find it from dictionary

#38

its a type of car. prety rad car might i add. look it up on google image search or something. found one on ebay for like thirteen grand. man, wish i had thirteen grand to spend on a car that cant go over 85mph

#39

Quick question, for the planning thumbnails, do they have to be sketched or can you use very simple 3d renders for planning the scene even before the charaters are modeled?

#40

I want to use a higher quality version of the current Clip and maybe had more sound after and before, to make it longer. Maybe cut from other part of the movie add them after and make a completly different story.

#41

no you cant do that , everybody has to use the same clip.

#42

anyone have an answer for my question? it would be mighty appreciated

#43

Hey Rob, I think you either have to have webspace… I bought mine, but I konw there’s all kinds of ways to put video online… try doing a search here on cgtalk, you might find some answers.

I know I’ve seen clips that people put online through free video hosting, but I can’t remember right now…

good luck!

#44

hi people…
Not at all sure wether ill be able to turn this in… but i will give it a shot…

thx.

#45

#46
