Re: Kingdoms: Castle Coup

How... odoriferous. xD

I liked how the camera angle titled when he got squashed (tilted camera angles make everything awesome). I felt, though, that Oder's voice didn't quite fit, and it would have been nice to actually show the old man complete his line before switching to the thing with other videos and the subscribe button.

You're easing in and out could use a bit bit of work, so here are some suggestions:

Start the movement with the absolutely most tiny increment you can possibly muster, then follow with another movement which is about twice as fast as the other, then move onward in this fashion making bigger movements until you get to the middle movement where it's actually going pretty fast, then start slowing it down again for the later half until you get to that other tiniest possible little increment at the end.

It should, in the end, end up about the same amount of time as a movement without easing, but a lot faster in the middle, and a lot slower at the ends.

That's how I did it in How to Not Rob a Bank, which turned out pretty nicely. mini/smile

Thanks for the tips, especially the one about easing in and easing out. Appreciate it.

I also typed a rather long post in an old topic several months ago which contains some extremely detailed instructions on dialogue:

I thought it was really good! Great animation, especially when

You can do anything, just have fun while doing it.

Thanks, I have to admit, I haven't animated alot, and that was my first time trying something like that, and I think it turned out quite nicely.
