Topic: Tennis Match

Just a short little tennis match. I didn't put it in Releases because it isn't really long enough to be considered a full video.

This isn't really a video in itself, more a little piece of visual proof that I still exist and am still animating (I shot this last weekend). Making videos is slow going, as my computer really doesn't have the power. Luckily, I'm about £20 away from a MacBook Pro, and once I have that, I'm going to try and upload regularly.

I've been collecting some of those collectable minifigures lately, and since I got both of the tennis players, I decided to do a tennis match. I was a little disappointed that it came out so short, but it did only take just under an hour to animate (on and off), so I guess you reap what you sew.

I plan to try another, longer tennis match at some point when I have my new computer, so that I can try and get the tennis ball down-pat. IMO it looks alright, but it's still a little bit dodgy. These things are all about trial and error though, so at least I've learned from doing this. Also, the light flicker is a problem I'm already trying to address.

Please comment on it, guys! I'd really like some feedback on this one.

Re: Tennis Match

The animation itself is great but there's a lot of flicker. Also I noticed Slender man (Shudders) Way to give me more nightmares lol.
