Who kidnapped George Edward Fitzpatrick IV's cat? Why did he suddenly disappear? Detective Sparks and Lieutenant Larson investigate the finicky feline's absence in this mysterious comedy.
I thought this was great! I would work on reducing the amount of flickering in your next film. It was a little distracting. I loved the characters you developed. They were great.
Keep it up!
That was pretty entertaining! The animation was passable, and the voices were decent, but what really stood out to me was your sets! They were really good. You might want to consider getting a better camera and mic, but for the most part, you're golden.
Thanks! I spent a few days on each set, so I am glad that they were appreciated. Do you have any tips on reducing light flicker? I have Nikon DSLR, so I can use manual focus and a remote to take each picture. I have been trying to eliminate flicker in my videos, but it's not perfect yet. Should I be using specific lamps or light arrangements? Also, do you have any types for improving my animation quality? Thanks!
Light flicker wise, the only way to avoid it is to eliminate all natural light sources (windows, doors etc...). Also, make sure that there is no light behind you when you animate (like a ceiling light or something). Wear dark clothes to minimize reflection off of your skin, and try not to bump your lamps.
The only tip I can give you on animation is to watch this video.
I basically agree with brickelodeon with the light flicker. To improve your animation, I would try easing in and easing out more. It really helps and makes your animation alot smoother.
Besides what other people already said my only suggestion would be to lower your ISO [This helps to gets rid of the grain] and rather change your shutter speed.
