    You sir, are a Cambrian explosion of awesomeness.
    Dabbling with something similar but not nearly as thoughtful. I really like the piano in the second form.
    Be great to see you do something like this with SANDDE...

    Cheers

    LOVE the video!!
    I want to start heading in the direction of animation.
    it is all very new to me and i think that is what makes it all so interesting....
    whats the fps that you're using here? if i may ask
  • Malcolm Sutherland plus 2 years ago
    ya, 12 fps... i.e. animated on "2's", composited at 24 fps

    These are fantastic. Would be interested to know, did you start with sound/music ideas or visual ideas?
  • Malcolm Sutherland plus 2 years ago
    cheers, its a bit of both, leaning slightly more towards visuals first..
