July - noob - aL

this beeing my forst real atempt to animate a longer sequence im gonna head in to this one as a noob user added image

im gonna use the monstercrazy sound and the basic plot will be a small girl standing in a torn up kitchen with blood and stuff everywhere saying the "either a monster..." and then something else will say the "i dont think youre crazy" part. im thinking either a gold fish or a peice of cheese..

you get the general idea user added image

the animation challange is a cool idea but given that facial animation is ju optional maybe there should be a sound clip with no talk and just weired noises or music too? its kinda hard to think of an animation with no facial animation for these sound clips user added image

Body movement is just as important as facial animation. You can have the lips synched perfectly, but if the body doesnt move very well, then it's not going to be considered good animation.

Also, remember, don't spend too much time on an environment. Make big cubes for a refridgerator, counter tops, etc.

Looking forward to it!

heh, last October, we had a sound fx animation challenge. It wasn't well received, unfortunately.
