I love how this guy breaks it down Anime style. His stuff looks really good.
Grab some tools and get to it. The power is in your hands.
Wouldn’t it be cool one day to create your own anime and folks dress up like your characters?
Truth is…it is possible.
Monty Oum made his own anime and built his brand and well….
Boom! Yup it is possible. What are you waiting for?
This is a great short. It is a 3d animation but it is also 2d.
I know a lot of you like 2d. So here you go. Rotoscope some 3d.
I’m always looking for awesome animations that catch my eye that have awesome style.
This one qualifies.
So I wanted to tell you about one of my favorite creators Brian Haberlin. It looks like his graphic novel Anomaly is coming to life on the Hollywood screen.

Relativity has closed a deal to finance, produce and distribute Anomaly, a live-action feature based on the interactive comic book created and written by top showbiz lawyer Skip Brittenham and Brian Haberlin. The
script will be written by Ed Ricourt and Joe Roth is producing with Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh and Tucker Tooley.
Which I think is totally awesome for him!
I’m sure many of you would like to create and get something on the screen, like a full fledged anime. Well truth is you can. You just have to create it first in some form or other.
I remember a great storyteller and one of my favorite, if not my favorite creator of all time, tell me if you create it they will come.
That man was Doug Tenapel.
So guys if you really want to do this and get an anime created go for it. At least make a manga and put it on Webtoons or something to that effect. Then you will see if they come or not.
I’m always amazed by how far they stretch this program but they definately know how to harness the power of Poser over at Rooster Teeth.
I just wanted to share this cool indie animation I found.
Here is a method if you are not the best artist. We can all trace.
Get some friends together, dress them up and do some good old fashioned rotoscoping.
Dress friends up as your characters and use some good old fashioned cinematography and walla you can have a really cool anime.
It worked for Flowers of Evil
Just imagine the stories you could tell including some really cool slice of life anime.
I eat up everything I can to learn from the masters. Just watching how they work can give you so many clues into how things work and how you can put it into action.
Here is one or a few of my favorite Behind the scenes looks at the making of anime.
Now I wanted to touch one this subject because some people have a bad view of Poser in the art community. They think that you MUST do everything yourself. But what does that get them. At most it is a nice looking short but never anything epic or long lasting.
Some of you have asked me about that fact. You are trying to tell your story but then some in the CG community tell you not to use Poser. But truth is Poser can help you get up to speed much faster and tell stories.
If you push the tool that Poser is you can create wonderful artwork to tell your story.
One of my favorite comics ever was created by Brian Haberlin. He uses Poser to help him make one of the largest graphic novels in the world with cool augmented reality. If you have checked out his novels please do for an inspirational aspect into what can be done with Poser as a tool but also as good awesome fun. I loved Anomaly. Oh and by the way, this guy has TV and movie deals. So you tell me it is not a legit tool to create great imagery and tell stories. In the end don’t let anyone discouarage you. There are some elitist out there but they are purist. They care about what program was used and at the end of the day it is just foolish.
End result is all that matters.
