thank you MT :)

yeah ie commented on this one before, but seriously, sto being so freakin full on with your work, and just stop for a minute.
take a breath.
then i want you to start making a cartoon.
so stop making hundreds of different images, and start making one image, and draw it over and over again with small adjustments. ill put it together so it moves. and i think this particular image here is the perfect style to try with.
how COOL would that be?
Karin Taylor
replied
that would be cool….but can it do it???
when i try to draw things the second time they won’t work…
well…so far that’s the experience….ask me to repeat a performance and i just can’t pull it off….why? i dunno…it’s just somethin’ about how the inspiration flows…or my inadequacy re drawing anything but inanimate objects/people…how can i make her move from doing this static thing…i can’t even begin to imagine what movements would come next…..but now you’ve got me thinking ….....lol…....anything could happen MT :D
MuscularTeeth
do simple drawing. your standard girl.
standing. arms down.
take grease paper (or go buy some proper semitransparant paper) and copy first, but lift one or both arms up a little.. or turn of the head..
repeat.
easy.
but to do it properly, we want roughly 24 to 29 movements (frames) per second of actual video time…. you can do it..
i once got a tiny metal human-form magnet which you could bend and twist the arms around…i made it move around – took forever, but its not particularly hard once you get setup and started, just tedious. but worth it. when i move in ive got an idea..
:)
Karin Taylor
replied
i could do her dancing an arabesque and a pirouhette perhaps….hmm…..woudl have to think up the sequence/idea first so i know where i’m headed.
Karin Taylor
replied
omigosh!! that many drawings?? now you’ve set me a big challenge….thanx for explaining how to do it..that makes sense (how many seconds of video time) then i have to multiply to find out how many drawings i’d have to make….could take quite some time!! lol
MuscularTeeth
there you go thinking and planning. i would have just tore up half a room and started something random..and end up totally not being what it was orignally meant to.
MuscularTeeth
yup its a long drawn out process.
make sure that when you photo or scan your images, that your not moving your point of view.
like strap your camera in a brace and have each page of drawing in the exact same place each time.. so you dont get jitter…
then what i would do would be to put each picure in order in my program, and have it displayed for 1/24th of a second each.
then i would render it all as a video file. voila ~instant cartoony thingy.
all time expensive, but with your talent i should think we’d get a fair few hits on youtube etc.
Karin Taylor
replied
wow…sounds like a great project/collaboration we could do…
i get your point about having to keep it steady and photograph exactly the same distance each time…would have a spot on the studio floor…and i think a tripod …but it’s so hard to photograph from a tripod when something’s flat on the floor…...another thing to sort out, a ctually maybe it’s better to keep them smaller so i can scan them on an A4 flat bed…that would make a lot more sense hey!
Karin Taylor
replied
how long would the vid be MT:D
???? are they like 3 mins long….coz that would be in the vicinity of …..
24×60=1430
1430×3=4290 drawings for a 3 min vid….egats….!!!! them’s more drawings than i’ve done in me whole lifetime !! lol
