I love this trailer for the comic book called Kairos.
It just makes me want to see this as a movie.
Maybe you can make a manga and animation that go hand in hand as a promotion! In truth Anime and manga go hand in hand. Often times Manga tests the popularity of something and if popular is created into an anime. In turn that anime creates Manga sales. Maybe an idea when you are deciding to get into business.
Here is a video breaking down a rig for Puppet Animation. Personally I’m okay with it if it is creative and good. I guess because I come from the old flash days when you had to do things differently because there was no streaming at the time. Tween animation helped keep file sizes down. Because of this I’m okay with this type of animation if done correctly.
Here is a tutorial breaking down a rig.
Here are examples of good old fashioned tweening. Funny thing is this has become really popular over the years even in mainstream work.
Watching this video reminds me of the time I started using Flash and that Ifinally had the ability to do what I always wanted to do and that was make animation.
Looks like I was not the only out there. Enjoy this little documentary about the Rise of Animation.
I love 2d animation but for a one man show I think 3d is the way to go because once assets are built animation goes quite quickly. Here are some great 3d animes that show you what can be done.
I loved watching this tutorial. It was pretty neat seeing how things are done in the making of this show.
Again the same techniques can be used for creating your own anime. You could go about making an anime puppet in 2d similiar to what they do here. Remember story is important. I hope you enjoy this little workflow video.
We talk about making anime. Truth is that year after year it is getting easier and easier to do it on your own or with some friends.
For example check out the latest trailer for Gantz 0.
Here are some behind the scenes.
So maybe combine Poser, Iclone or DAZ3d with one of the packages below.
Personally I’ve used IPIsoft but I’ve recently been thinking about Iclones Mocap or Iclone mixed with Perception.
Hey Perception if you want to give me a mocap suit and Iclone you want me to start making my anime using your stuff that I promote please call me. LOL.
