I taught the joke would be great, so I start get some cartoon jokes just to get inspired.
I got some picture just to get some feeling of what i want to project, these pictures can help me to build a story ling.
the idea is good but the problem is how to make it, what drawing style should i opt, what software to use..
I got Adobe Flash, 3DS Max,Pro tool SE and Photoshop.
I am not really familiar with all these programs, but i know the basics, so i have to work and research more about these programs and to explore it in deep direction that would allowed me to realize my project.
I researched and learn a lot about all these different programs, I was doing my project while learning the software in the same time.
after all i have to create my characters, that going to fit my story.
I wanted to have an old characters, then i checked online to get some more idea..
I drew few of them and i have to choose the one i really like.
i drew many of them using adobe flash, and i wanted to have my own drawing cartoon style, so i was exploring different others artist style and came out with my own..
i always like the style from family guy cartoon and i found the animation no really complicated but direct in their own style, as i believe that art is open and there is no limit or restriction but there are certain Principe to follow.
ADOBE FLASH
I look at different basic principle animation in adobe flash, play around with different elements, moving object, bouncing ball.. just to get around to learn how to animate in 2D.
I look at how to move object, walking circle and mouth animation.
then I looked how the functions of adobe flash worked, how it can be compatible to my work and how to use them.
Pencil tool
paint bucket tool
eraser tool
gap size
free transform tool
really useful tools that really helped me to achieve what i wanted, but i still have lot to learn.
All my background scene was done in 3DS Max, it looks clean and net than drawing in flash.
that is one of sample of drawing my background, i didn't like it but i preferred in 3D.
I did all the different camera angles, following my storyboard, so it would be easy for me to animate on top of background picture.
I just pose my character on top of my background picture and make the animation.
story
i made a story but it must make sense then in i have to make a storyboard.
then comes the hard part, animation,
tried to animate the mouth...
