Topic: Squid's THAC X test Montage

YouTube Link

A montage of test animation I made to prepare for THAC tomorrow.

The set was built for THAC, I'll probably make up a story which happens in that Riigo-Faloovian village and involves those gnomes, Ouskavar the Goblin hero, and Gloaming the Unicorn.

Please tell me what you thought both the animation and set design. mini/smile

Re: Squid's THAC X test Montage

The set design and animation were stellar. I always liked the quaint village of Riigo-Faloo. Great job and good luck on the THAC! mini/bigsmile

That was absolutely fantastic, I loved it. I may as well not bother now, I mean we all know who's going to win...

I still only estimate a 75% possibility of me finishing on time.

Re: Squid's THAC X test Montage

Wow, awesome animation! And I liked the lighting, but why you have light flicking even I don't and we both have same cameras?

Re: Squid's THAC X test Montage

That was just... wow!
You're definetly going to place high, if not win.

I can do some horse sounds (whinnying and sneezing) if you need them for the unicorn.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Gloaming doesn't whinny.
He's a manly unicorn.

Re: Squid's THAC X test Montage

A fun test montage to watch!  I liked the random things ("skyrim", "impossible entrance", "dramatic turn"), the animation was smooth, and there was virtually no flicker that I could tell. 

The only things that were off to me was the "slow dolly", which had a somewhat "flickery" and "wobbly" focus, and the slash, which looked too "mechanical"--it didn't have enough ease-in-and-out, and didn't look very convincing.  Also, while I really liked the "text focus", it cut too quickly to the next frame.  But aside from these relatively minor gripes, this is looking good. I can't wait for your THAC entry! mini/smile

By the way, how did you do the camera movements in "more camera stuff"?

Re: Squid's THAC X test Montage

I did a better job on these tests than the animation in my actual THAC film. mini/blankexpression

But it's still looking really great, and I think I'll have the final edit up tomorrow.
