My animation - 'How Not To Pass Through Airport Security'

Touched · Post by **Touched** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 11:02 am

I animated this for the recent animation contest. As I work full-time and also have other demands on my time, I was only able to work on the setup occasionally throughout the month, and the actual animation was all done in the last 2 or 3 days before the deadline.

The audio is from Penn & Teller Get Killed, clipped together in such a way as to make a little vignette that could use the 3 required props in a 10-30 second space.

That walking at the very beginning was the last bit I animated, and it was literally minutes to go before the deadline, so please forgive its badness.

I like it also! Although I did not understand tha last phrase from the policeman that it is suppoused to be the funny thing...
Can you translate it to me please?
Regards
Genete

By the way, the policeman had brown hair in first scene and white in the last one. But dont worry the animation is genial

Thanks, both of you. The last line is "Slowly raise your hands." (Not really funny in itself.

)

I just noticed your tiny yellow comment there! I'm sorry it wasn't portrayed well -- a simple establishing shot would have helped everything, but there were two different security guards: One standing by the metal detector with brown hair, and the other behind the baggage scanner with white hair. But I did use the same character for both of them, only changed the hair colour, so it's no surprise it was confusing.

This was my first full animation with Anime Studio. I had done a couple of individual shots with it over the past month, but I hadn't even heard about the program until the December 6 AWN newsletter. It sounded very interesting, so I checked it out, and bought it a couple of weeks later. So now tomorrow marks my second month with Anime Studio!

Hey Rasheed, cute little illustration of the phrase.

And thanks for the other comments!

Ha ha. Nice. I liked all the contraband munitions going through the x-ray.
