Excellent!

How was this animated? Frame by frame, and with what software?

Luke_de_Sade · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2001 10:14 am

That was great! Hilarious!

Motorfish, that was animated using Macromedia's Flash, I think, a nifty little program.

LMAO HAHAHA
I'm thinking some sort of Fantasya type music...LOL man that ROCKS!!!

I know you guys do that in flash but do you first draw the stuff or what? I would love to see how you work.
HEHE this is my favorite one so far. The one with the cow is hilarious as well.

synj · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2001 10:56 am

hey neat thanks!

i just create a new keyframe and draw the next. it's done in macromedia's flash thingie 4.0 but i guess 5 is better in some ways. Less stable though.

if you live in san diego you're welcome to watch me animate sometime if you really want. its just random stuff though - i'm still trying to find the best way to flow.

how can this be your favorite hehehe its far from finished

eheh

This is absolutely hilarious!! Extremely refreshing! The animations are excellent, both flash and 3D, and the ideas are very original! Please let us know when you have more.

F*ckin cool. Seriously. Five stars from me.

Vgta · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2001 12:40 pm

hehe, okay it's starting to be my favorite.
D'oh!!! I wish I were in Sand Diego......
hmm, haven't played with flash in awhile, hey thanks for the inspiration man.

Dude that rules. The timing and pace is fucking great.

geoman2k · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2001 1:46 pm

That was nice Synj. Was I missing the music?

Joachim · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2001 11:31 pm

really cool and really really nice animated synj !
Is th ekeyframe editor in flash good. I only tried to animate 2d in imageready on the pc, but that sucks, isn't that right ? must try flash.

synj · Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2001 9:12 am

how neat hehe thank you all for replying.

joachim: thanks man. means alot coming from you. Imageready is nowhere near as cool as the animation in flash. You can't see the onionskins in imageready or flip through the frames with any keys. yuck! in flash you can though. only thing i really don't like about the program is the color palette. can be changed though.

perplexer: thanks!

glad to see you went and looked at some of my work further. that's definately what its there for eheh

vgta: np!

mcsteed: thanks! let the wiggling commence!

geoman2k: right on. guess a little scribble goes a long way eh?

frost: silly old bear. didn't you read the original post?

hehe no music yet but there will be. this is gonna be hard to create some for i bet but maybe i'll get lucky.

itchi · Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2001 6:44 pm

haha synj that is hilarious. nice animation and timing

i dig it!

Bishop_Six · Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2001 7:58 pm

synj, I can always count on you to make me laugh.

Frost · Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2001 11:04 pm

synj: "didn't you read the original post?" -- Nope. Explains a lot, doesn't it?

Laemtao · Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2001 12:26 am

I really really love this short flash anim. Man. I really think you have a better sense of timing than even the guy that does all that Joescartoon stuff! =) You'd do great as an animator in 3D as well.. Have u dabbled in any 3d programs??

Keep animated..

Hey synj, I love this new piece you made. I just recently vistited your site and since then I have become a fan. I have some fan art in the works, I hope you dont mind, its all in homage to you

BTW have you ever read Stever Purcell's work? You remind me of him

(I really like this new character too, hes "hella" cool)

egerie · Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2001 4:02 pm

Hey Synj ! It's probably the best flash animation I've seen from you. Great timming !

Do you think it would be possible to see a tutorial by you in the future ?
-ege

Ysg · Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2001 5:00 pm

Hey Synj! Howabout a tune that sounds like the 1812 Overture.. the one with the explosions in the song.

n8 · Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2001 10:38 pm

nova · Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2001 11:26 pm

itchi: thanks!

bishop_six: hehe yikes I hope i dont screw up then

laemtao: I've been doing 3D animation for a couple years now. www.synj.net thanks for the kudos!

briareos: you're too kind, mister. hehe the art is always appreciated. Hmm, no, never heard of Steve. I don't watch too much animation.

roy: YEEEEeeeEHAAAAaaa

egerie: thanks! tutorial? well, eh. I'm just redrawing frames. Other than that I don't really have a solid method yet. I'll keep it in mind though and maybe do one later.

ysg: 1812 is one of the songs I have in mind. I better start timing it to it early on before it becomes a bear hehehe

n8: roger that.

exo13: WEEEEE!!

fallen: 's appreciated. thanks guy.

felaxx: ba bum bum bum bummm BUM BUM - BUM BUM. yeah that would work kinda good too eh?
