Define Cynical Fan Forums

After a little practice, I decided to try doing a little tablet-drawn animation in Flash. I wanted to get a feel for what animating "Taco of Doom" (the video game I supposedly have in the works) will be like, in terms of both challenge level and quality of final result. Most certainly I won't be doing it myself, at least not most of it, but I can always use the practice for smaller projects. Anyway, I'm going to shut up now and link to the little cartoon.<br><br><a href='http://www.pocketslint.0nyx.com/milliewhat.html' target='_blank'>"Ummmm... what's going on?"</a><br><br>And yeah, that is my voice run through a filter. I hadn't planned on having an actual voice in there, but I found it was impossible to animate the mouth movements believably without audio.

Woah.<br><br>Very cool! <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It gets cut off a little at the end.

Very good, but perhaps you should get a sister/daughter/niece/cousin to do a more realistic voice.

As I said, the voice was just to have something to sync to. I intend to find someone of the female persuasion to do Millie's voice for the game. It shouldn't be hard; there's 2000 students at this school and well over half are girls.<br><br>As for cutting off, yeah I don't know how that happened. I made sure to leave plenty of space when I trimmed the sound file. Oh well, I'm already starting on the second one, this time featuring Sarah Vowell as Millie. (Those who read David's LiveJournal about a year ago may have a guess as to what I'm doing... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

Animated Millie...!<br><br><br>love it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

What's with the circle around millie's face?<br><br>Oh My God! Someone is trying to snipe Millie <!--emo&:flee:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/flee.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='flee.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Its the raw sketch, right? Its a drawing circle to aid in face construction.

Does Millie say more after "Um, what's going on?" I waited several seconds before closing the window.

Very cool <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Thats pretty good
