Topic: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

For all who care I apologise for my lack of uploads in the past few months. I think I have animators block when it comes to making proper brickfilms. However, here is ANOTHER test I  made a few days ago. I tried to do what I have never seen an animator do before, and I think it came out pretty well. As usual, comments and constructive criticism is always welcomed!

Most realistic pistol shots in Lego I've ever seen! mini/delirium
Just he moved his arms a bit too slow.

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

It was a very realistic pistol shot! With the gun sliding back and everything. The FPS was a little off. Too slow. but the gunshot was AWESOMe!

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

Thanks for the feedback guys. The only reason the arm movements are a little slow is that i was trying for the first time at animating 24fps. If i have the time i will try and tamper with it to make the arm movements a little faster.

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

The shooting is perfect. The only thing you could improve is to make the arm a lot faster. Good job with the VFX.

You need to have his hand kick back a little bit... then it will be amazing. right now it's great. mini/wink

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

Very interesting. How did you make the effect? Masking?

I do not care about your opinion, unless it has to do with it needing more ponies.

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

Penut: Yeah i masked it in GIMP. Origionally there was no blowback but i decided to add more detail. Amazing how just a single frame in an exposure sheet can make so much of a difference mini/bigsmile

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

I agree. I will try this sometime. I do alot of my effects in GIMP. (I also do some sprite work in it, see my avy.)

Re: Realistic Pistol Test (Slide Blowback)

Awesome! The slide blowback effect is top notch, I rarely see that in brickfilms. The recoil I thought was just fine, many times I see people over emphasize gun kick back. I am glad to see that you didn't.
