Sonic Animation act 2:
My cousin Rick developed a storyboard from a random speech that he made, I used the sound file and lip sync(ed) it, and it turned out GREAT, well, it might not be that way when you view it tho


The animating process:
The animation process was fine, and it was fun! I started from the top, laying out movements, then refining things like mouth and blinking, and worked my way to the bottom. I wanted most of Sonic's movements to be REAL and not robot like (I like the ending, I decided not to model a watch).

Slave labor:
Then, I rendered it as a movie. 3dsmax crashed at 75% due to some godforsaken problem in SP2 *shakes fist at micro*, and I had to render each frame in JPG, some stills had this really bad motion blur in it, so I had to tweak each one. I then used premiere to assemble the movie, and fuck, that had so many problems :angry:
Then...with my AWESOME skills in flash, I decided to export my movie as a flash file, quality: meh, audio sync: blah... I've got to work on this.

blarrgh
Its 3:00 AM! If only I took the time to show others before submission. The quality couldve been better. And I was a bit iffy at the whole idea of this, but the practice was worth it

Voicework
Damn, I had a deep voice, so I had to modify it so it can get along with the "SEGA!", trust me, you didnt want to hear it unedited.

Whats next?
The last animation test before the *surprise*, and expect something DIFFERENT. Once I get done mastering the many aspects of animation, I'll finally get to model some characters and do what I can with them

Later foos! I'm gonna sleep...
