hee hee thanks gentleman whitman.

yop yop chirp chirp beep beep boop boop

Yeah they were too spicy, and it upset my stomach. So I had to stop after 4.

*zzzz yawn* time for sleep now.

Psh no i'm not.

haha
;-)

:-)

haha oh no! not 1000, just a little over 100. Oh gosh I don't know if I want to get to over 5000. I feel like my attention span deals with stop motion better than this type of animation. It was a good learning experience and I hope I can me more patient to learn some more next time. hee hee. Thanks a lot Matt.

ahh 100, well still very impressive. Not a lot of people could have done what you did in 100 layers either! Yeah stop animation is an entirely different beast, I find it to be easier to manage as well, but AE makes things so quicker it just draws people in. great stuff!

aww thanks meesh. the submarine sound like this "blub blub"

The one thing I like most about doing construction paper over this, is that when I did CP Stop motion, if i needed something, it would be a matter of seconds to a couple minutes that I'd have it if I cut it out. When I did this thing, if I needed a new element, I had to keep going back and forth between two programs..it was so obnoxious. But next time I'll try scanning CP into the computer and animating it. I just don't think my butt like sitting too much looking at the screen when I do these.

<3

oh wow. that's quite a process!

i hear you on the butt thing. when i'm in the middle of something (mostly work related junk), i tend to hold off on going to the bathroom until i explode. my arse usually hurts by the end of the day too.

hahaha....oh man my thesis for grad school involves some sort of live size building of something in my imagination....I don't know if that will go over well haha.


thanks teah!

synechdoche new york Abad style

hahaha :-)

Aww thanks P, Mob. means a lot coming from you. To a certain degree it's kinda weird to see drawings come to life...not really a bad weird, just different. I got more of a fascination when I saw your animation.

Mm i love GATH do you have their new album? It's divine.

miss ya.

I think they just pooped rain on some people. naughty little guys!

Hee hee thanks!

oh PS i liked your latest stop motion a lot...I kind of felt the same way..I was supposed to be doing homework, but I didn't want to, so I did this instead.

You are an ever flowing fountain of awesome that needs to not be sick anymore.

haha psh don't be jealous I probably have lots to learn from you! meow meow meow!! :-)

aww thanks scuba. Scuba swim. I want a scuba swim with you in the midwest. booo
boutros

thanks bucky!!! *big hugs!* :-)

Magical mystery tour sound dangerous and sexual. hahaha. Haha good thing this was only one sleepless night. I have this problem where sometimes I have to start and finish something in one sitting or else if I stop, I'll get bored with it and never return to it again. I'm very impatient and have some sort of creative ADD. booooo

i'm glad you enjoyed this silly thing hee hee.

Awww, Merci! :-)

Thanks a lot eric, that means a lot coming from you, whose work I enjoy thoroughly. Oo lala I can't wait to see what you are up to with that video. I wish I could give animation more time, but I will keep trying to...I need to be more patient with it, for sure. hee hee

Thanks so much Hassan.

The best thing to do is to just keep on practicing everything and take things slow one step at a time :-)

I'm sure you are capable of awesome stuff too!

Oh man you should definitely do it! I've been wanting to also for a while, so I decided I should just bite the bullet and do this. I kept thinking through the whole thing that "oh my god this is too long, I want to make it shorter" after spending 4 hours to do 30 seconds or so, but it's well worth it at the end. :-) You should definitely take a crack at it and let me know how it goes!

hahaha, thanks. I always get the strongest response on the silliest videos. But this one I think is different to me, especially with the meaning of this song, and the illustrations involved in the animation. A lot of special different elements for a special friend :-)


Thanks a lot Faye!

Aww thanks Jean, you're very kind.

I know, my lady ^^

It's on the end of the video and the tags.

harmony and the chalk.

I day dream a lot...i think that's evident in about 75% of my videos.


My head is always sitting in the clouds between consciousness and subconsciousness.

thanks so much ena <3

Thanks a lot Todd, I'm glad that I was able to tell a somewhat coherent story, it's pretty hard if you don't know what you're doing as far as technical goes.

Thanks for checking this out.

haha yeah i know, I just don't know how to use AE that well. I've never really used it for animation at all. This was the first time. I guess I just had so many layers because of all the separate elements of the illustrations from AI. What are adjustment layers?

Thanks..they were pretty fluffy i ate some. hee hee

Adjustment layers are layers in which you apply effects to affect all layers underneath them, you can mask them and control the opacity to fine-tune the effect. they are lovely, and one of AE's best features.

Does that work if every single layer moves independently of the others?

(thanks by the way)

yeap it works
and you're welcome ;)

hee hee thanks Obar.

It's always fun to learn and push yourself in things you are unfamiliar with.

Thanks so much for the feedback Scott.

:-) shine shine shine

thanks andrew! how's it going? we need to hang out sometime.

Thanks Kate.

hee hee thanks a lot sean. :-)

Go for it, let me know when you're done.

thanks, i am done :D

I tried to make it so that it was easy on the eyes, but I think using the yellow and black ruined my want to stay on a pastel palette. hee hee. Thanks a lot :-)

:-) Thanks dan! I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Thank you very much Lacc, too nice.

Thanks for watching Ahmed. :-)

Thanks a lot rookiedad! how have you been?

Let's be honest here, the wine probably helped more than the coffee did. hahah


Thanks a lot Aaron!
