Your art work is exceptional. It's time to take it and create a cartoon!

Thank you. The music is from the movie "The Village". When I chose it, it really helped me shape that sequence.

Thank you for commenting. Regarding your criticism, I was definitely trying to have a more measured pace. The music is inspired by M. Night, who is known for longer takes. I find quick cuts and frenetic editing can often be more laborious than long takes, because you miss all the finer details. Quic...

"Puzzling" is my largest Anime Studio Pro project to date, in terms of the challenge and the duration. It show-cases many of the features that are available, including the 3D camera, extensive masking and particle layers. Please watch it and post your comments here, I'd love to hear what y...

Wow, thanks for the time and effort to explain what you mean in such a novel and apt way. I was able to import my expression artwork with a fraction of the points. Thanks!

I agree with the tone of the posts here. For a young fella (and his younger brother) to demonstrate such hard work and imagination toward a constructive outcome is very refreshing these days. I thought the voices were good, especially considering it's one of the hardest elements to do effectively. I...

Myles, I must not be a 4 year old, because I can't find that option in Expression 3. Could you give me the steps to convert outlines to basic strokes?

Thanks!

Ok, it was painful, but I was able to trim my entry to exactly 3 mins.

The rules for animation contest #2 were in this forum, and it states 3 mins as the maximum.

Thanks to all for your kind comments. It's nice to receive encouragement, especially at this level, when we aren't getting paid! Did you combine video with animation in Moho or externally? Was the white edge on the silhouette characters on the kitchen table on purpose for contrast or was it an overl...
