Alrighty...here's a quickie animation done for my Drawing 4 class this semester. I plan on making this one longer in my free time over the next couple weeks. Currently it's only about 77 frames long and has no sound.
And to the left are the ladybugs I originally drew in my sketchbook at the start of this little project. I think it should be fairly obvious which one was used in the actual animation...
Way back in November of '08, several people around the world participated as voice actors in the sequel to "The Birds Are Honest," a ridiculous little video/animation I made involving bird skeletons. Both videos were separate assignments for the video art class I was taking at the time and, unfortunately, I ran out of time to finish the sequel in the way it was planned in the storyboards the actors used as script. I think all of the voice actors have since seen the video that came of it anyway, but somehow I never got around to posting it here. Oops? In any case, here it is!
I know I said I would get these up earlier in the week, but life is crazy like that.
Anyway, if you still want to participate, here are the storyboards. Just record any part you feel up to, or record all of them in different voices or such as you like. Make sure you leave pauses between lines for each shot, because that makes it easier for me to edit. Try to keep background noise to a minimum and avoid clicking and tapping of the mic by waiting a second or two after you hit record to start talking, and then waiting a second or two after you finish before hitting stop.
When you're done, save it as a .wav or .mp3 and email it to me, or send it to me on IM. The sooner the better, but preferably today, tomorrow, or Monday. Also, include what name you'd like to be credited as in the end! Oookay...
Also, improvisation and goofery is welcome, as long as you don't stray TOO far from the concept. Suggestions and ideas are not something I'll shoot down either!
Anybody (who knows me from LJ or PE) want to participate in another WTF-video project this coming weekend? I need a couple voice actors, especially ones who don't mind being dorks. All you need is a clear microphone and recording program such as Skype or Audacity so you can save it as .mp3 or .wav
Don't be shy!
I had a few minutes to work on stuff in this. In Premiere. TAKE THAT, FINAL CUT. Neener neener! Anyway, now with sound effects, woo!
Well, I'm out of time... I'll maybe revisit this later. It's about 17 seconds too short, has no sound, and is missing half the narrative I would include if I had the time for it. There were also going to be an additional three clips with variations on the theme. But ohhhhh well. Death (aka going to sleep now).
One of my classes this semester is video art. Unfortunately, this is also known as "the class with unrealistic financial expectations." That is to say, we are expected to shell out over $1000 for this class right at the start. And that's if we already own some of the hardware/equipment we need, and a Macintosh computer... Because I don't have money, or a Macintosh, or time to use the campus computers when it's over an hour just to GET to the campus...I have to make due with drawing animations for the current project rather than using video.
Here's a tiny 4 second snippet of the project I'm working on... Doing this much took me about six hours. I really need to go to bed, so I can work on it again tomorrow. Ugh.
Hey, who remembers the "cocaine" project? Nobody? Right. Well! Errr...here it is. Partly. Sort of. So here's a...sort of like a music video, I guess. At some point, I want to finish the rest of the song out properly, since Sia is a wonderful brand of ridiculous and may pimp it in some way, which would be great for my resume. >_> (Edit note 6/1/08: I totally just left a message for her with a link to my blog so she could see the vid if she wanted to and oh crap, that sounded so embarrassing now so I put a strike through it because altogether removing it would make me a coward!)
