Topic: Jump Test (I know there are alot of tests out there, but see mine too)

This is my first time doing the "flying" technique FancyPants has on his channel, and I actually filmed this months before any other video of mine, just never got around to finishing it.

Also my first time animating a specific fps (this is 16fps)

There is some shaky camera scenes and some light flicker, and it may be a bit fast paced. Please tell me your opinions, and for you guests that are looking at this topic and have your own YouTube accounts, you too can post your opinions by leaving a comment on the video. Don't feel left out.

Thanks all. mini/wink

Saw it on youtube anyway. That was great for a first try, I almost didn't noticed the masking. Great job mini/bigsmile !

The test itself was great, and the animation quality was quite decent.
The camera shaking didn't look like the kind one would see in a film. It was way too fast, and it shook way too much.
In all: Nice job!

No, sorry you guys misunderstood me, its not a shaky camera seen, its a seen that accidentally had too much shaking from the camera. As in not supposed to happen.

Yeah. I had pressed the button on the cam during the beginning shots, but then noticed the shaking, so I used the cam remote control to take pics. mini/tongue  How many have you got a remote for you Cam?

Well, then again, I don't even have an animation software.. mini/lol  touche (or however you spell it)

That was very good in our opinion. Just fix that shaky cam and you could be one of the greats! mini/bigsmile

... Lolwut?... No. Just no. He'll be very good, but not "one of the greats".

The lighting was very meh. Needs to be worked on a bit. Also, the jumping was a bit strange looking. A little too jolty IMO. The shaky cam was another downside, but other than those issues it was very good.

It was pretty good. Is this one of your first tries at brickfilming?

(sorry if the first part of my post came off a bit mean.)
