Gorilla Walk: manipulated

week 19 ! ... it seems like week 200 !.. well it's an experiment in rotoscoping. At first it was just an effort to try to get video into Flash and that turned into a rotoscope and that turned into manipulating ALL keyframes in a single Timeline. So it was a week of lots of tutorials to say the least. The first clip is of the original rotoscoping and the second is of me trying to squeeze it into something more "intentional".

Gorilla Walk: original

Week 19 rotoscope experiment...it was shot with a handheld camera, zooming in and out, looked great on a moving background, kinda abstract as an animation.

The PirateNinja

WEEK 14:

well folks, i really tried to learn some new stuff in Flash. Symbols, .psd File importing, Breakapart, the Envelope Tool, and ALL of it FAILED. yep none of it worked like i'd expected. Lots of Youtube tutorials and some Book Learin' and none of it answered my issues. BUT NONE THE LESS, here's the outcome.

The story? "The Brave and Mysterious NinjaPirate defends the flowers of he hill from the Evil Sea Queen and her serpent."
